Famous Bass Guitars (#2)

 Duck Dunn used this 1958 Sunburst Fender Precision Bass with maple neck and gold aluminium pickguard throughout his time 

with Booker T & the MG’s, the house band at Stax Records through the 60’s.

Chris Squire purchased this RM1999 in 1964 with his staff discount whilst working in a London music shop. Chris rewired it to produce a split stereo output, each pickup going to different amplifiers.   

 Phil Lynott used two black Fender Precision Basses during his time fronting Thin Lizzy. This one uses DiMarzio pickups, mirror pickguard and a rosewood fingerboard.

Lemmy’s 4004 Rickenbastard has a hand carved walnut body of relief oak leaves and acorns and uses three pickups. It’s finished with chequered binding, star inlays, gold hardware, chicken head knobs and a custom head nameplate. 

Named after the frets that allow musicians to hit precise notes, the design of Leo Fender’s early Precision Bass allowed a new way of playing.   

First advertised as a portable string bass which can be carried as easily as a guitar, the instrument is fretted, includes an electric pickup and due to the solid body it could be amplified, giving it a new level of presence. Playing a Precision Bass since the late sixties, Sting has owned this 1957 model for over a quarter of a century.

This is not a photograph, it's hand drawn by George Morgan following extensive research.
