Really great sounding instrument - especially since he says it is played into a guitar amp.  There is some serious bottom end in the sound, but not with the traditional Gibson muddy bass sound!

Ooooh, that's nice. Manic Depression sounded very good indeed.

If there were really only sixty some made in total I would think it would be more than $15,000, even though it has limited appeal.

I think Noel Redding played one of these (borrowed from Chas Chandler) on the earliest of Jimi Hendrix Experience recordings along with a Fender Bass VI

Is this what a Fender Bass VI essentially is?

That's a very cool instrument.

How does that bass boost circuit work?
