Sir Horace Panters “Ghost Town” Precision Auction

[Lozz196]

Apparently Horace Panters Fender Precision, which he used on Ghost Town, is to be auctioned, expectations are of £20,000.

 

Bit (as in far too) rich for me I have to say, but although I was never a major Specials fan I thought his playing was fantastic.

He seems like a nice bloke, I hope he is selling because he wants to, not because he needs to.

GH valuations are always punchy.

 

I bought a double bass owned by Jack Bruce with solid pedigree and provenance for the lowest estimate.

It would have to be for that price. All i can say to someone who can afford that, is enjoy yourself……

@Lozz196 not that I can afford it, but is there a link to the auction?

"I'm not overly attached to the bass but it would be nice if it went to someone who'll play it rather than shut it in a vault. It plays really well," the musician said.

 

"In 1988, Panter sold the bass but bought it back in 2010 to use when The Specials reunited."
