For Sale: 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. Its 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.
NOTE:- All proceeds from this sale will be donated to the Teenage Cancer
Trust charity in the UK.
