I just snagged this rather odd (to most here) bass. It is exactly the same as my very first bass that I bought back in 1971. It was made in the late 1960’s, short scale, really slim fast neck and has a good Beatles/ Stones tone. This is the only bass that I really, really regret selling. It eared me enough money to buy my first 4001 in 1974.
I hope that it will get to play the odd number at gigs, or even record with it. My first studio sessions were made with this bass and it has a superb vintage tone. I know this bass will do little for anyone else here, but for me after over 20 years of searching hard for a good one, Christmas has come early.
Forgot to add , check the back of the head shot, it still has the Rose Morris sticker on it. I bought my first one second hand when it was about 4 years old and the sticker was gone. This one is about 40 years old...!
