What I’ve never heard/read anything about is the earlier Burgundyglo, as seen on various videos on YT. Does anyone know anything about it? I thought at first it was ‘72-ish, but closer examination of the RTL4 footage shows a longer headstock. However it also appears - although it’s difficult to tell - to have a bridge pickup cover rather than a horseshoe, so seems to be post h/s. I haven’t found any really clear pictures. I was wondering if anyone knew anything of the history, e.g. when the GW took over and why, what happened to the BG, what year it actually was, etc etc. (calling Jeff Scott!
). TBH, based on the tone, I actually prefer the earlier bass (which doesn’t mean Jon did of course!), although the action looks murderously high to me.
