How many different models were available in the lightshow? Were there any basses? And what years did they make them?? No, I don't have one for sale!! Just curious...

There was only one standard model, the 331 although there were two versions of the electronics used.

However, a small number of variations were specially made including some 12 stringers, slanted fret models, and 5 basses. All of these were essentially custom, one-off instruments. Almost all of them were made in 1969 although they were available before and after that.

The 331 sure is a hot topic of conversation on the board these days!
