Product Description
I bought this bass in 1968, it was a Blue floral Pattern at Brook Mays on the South West freeway. It was bootlegged into the store, at the time Brook Mays did not have a Fender Dealer Ship. I had the original Blue Floral Pattern finish stripped off. I had it professionally refinished in a Fender looking 2 tone 1950's Sunburst. I put a genuine 1950's Fender white pick-guard put on it.
It now looked on stage like it was 1950's Fender bass, like Sting plays.
This was way before any reissues were available.
I lent it to my younger brother Lee Malone when he played with the the famous Texas Punk Band THE JUDY'S in the late 80s and early 90s and when he brought it back to me he had added all the stickers. Right in the middle of the body is a black sticker for THE FABULOUS SATELLITE LOUNGE, the famous Houston Live Music Venue I founded and ran from 1992 to 2002.
During those 10 years many famous guitarist preformed there, from:
ERIC JOHNSON, MONTY MONTGOMERY, LEO KOTTKE, REDD VOLKAERT, LOS STRAIGHT JACKETS, REVEREND HORTON HEAT, BILL KIRCHEN, STEWART SMITH, BAREFOOTED BUGS HENDERSON, JOE BONAMASSA, HADDEN SAYERS, LINK RAY, DAVID LINDLEY, JIMMY RAYCRAFT, DOYLE BRAMHALL JR., DAVID GRISSOM, CHRIS DUARTE, JUNIOR BROWN, LLOYD MAINES, IAN MOORE and many, many more, but my personal favorite was SURF GUITARIST- DICK DALE. He played the club once a year and every time he played the club he would let me get up on stage and play bass at the beginning of his second set on the old Surf Instrumental ''PIPELINE.'' I always brought this bass from home on those nights and played it with Dick. I have owned this guitar for 50 years and like all the guitars from my collection that I am selling, it too spent most of it's 50 years with me in it's case. Comes in a hard shell case. THIS IS A GREAT BASS. Light weight, straight neck, hardly any fret ware, very easy to play and sounds great.
P.S. This guitar with the original finish on it would be worth over $10,000.00
