A link’s fine too.

That's a cool bit of history. If only on putting it on to play transformed you into a funk monster.

$6.5k with buyer’s premium. It never ceases to amaze me how auction houses fleece both buyer & seller and it’s treated as normal (which I supposed it is, but I still think it’s wrong).

Bootsy's old bass? If it's not good enough for Bootsy it's not good enough for me! 😜

Big James Brown fan here. I'm a 24 fret active 5 string player so not my area but still cool to ogle over 😎

Given my avatar I will obviously be putting the car and children up for sale immediately so I can buy this and then learn how to extract DNA from skin cells left on the strings and create a serum to inject into myself so I can not only play like Bootsy but also have his voice. The name´s Jacksy baby! 😆

In the real world, I am now off to YouTube to watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sh9cezHNec

I think most of the DNA on this bass belongs to Fred Thomas, as he played it most and last. Pretty funky player though.

 

When JB fired Bootsy he was escorted from the building. Looks like he left the bass behind and Fred used it from then on.
