The bass has been auctioned on e-bay and made £3,777.00 Thanks to all who took part. Sold:
White Fender Precision bass. Has been used extensively on
the Mark Knopfler
‘Sailing to Philadelphia’ 2001 world tour by Glenn
Worf. Glenn bought the bass second hand in San Fransisco in
May this year. It’s sole purpose was to perform the song ‘Pyro
Man’ which involves a rather violent end scenario in which
Glenn drops the bass from a great height. He used to use his
sunburst P-bass but he decided to buy a new one to prevent
further damage to the sunburst. A great testament to the build
quality of new Fender guitars is that the bass survived for
nearly the entire tour. Unfortunately, during the show in Oslo
(5 from the end) the headstock split irreparably split in 3
places. We decided that it was still worth auctioning as a
collectors item and as the proceeds will be going to a very
worthy cause. Of course if the new owner still wants to play
it, a new neck can easily be fitted. An amazing testament to
the design of the Fender precision….The guitar has a rosewood
fingerboard, is approximately a couple of years old and although
it is basically still in one piece, it is showing signs of
wear! A genuine collectors item. Everyone in the band will
sign the PyroBass after the last show at midnight in Moscow. |
