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 extreme wear!
A genuine
collectors item.
Everyone in the band signed the PyroBass after the last
show at midnight in Moscow.
