Maurice Gibb's RM1999 fireglo
Watched Bee gees "In our own time" documentary (highly reccomend it... lots of RIC content). What ever became of his fireglo? I believe it was an RM1999. Anyone? Beuhler?

Nope. No secret that it belongs to Wints. I photographed it for the book.

Technically its been owned by two forum members.
I owned DH163 from the late 70s to the early 80s.
I put it as the number one bass!
