That EBO gives it away.... can only be BILLY SHEEHAN

That was an easy one. :bow:
The next one will be harder.:food-smiley-004:

 

[Geek]

OK, pitch us another :smile:

 

[bluecoyote]

OK, I will throw one in .....

Whose bass was this lovely vintage number?

I was going to say the scooped frets gave it away.

 

[james on bass]

Whose bass was this lovely vintage number?

I have no idea, but the "Star Bass" on the bridge makes me think of Bootsy. I can't see him palying something so sedate though.

 

[bluecoyote]

Sorry James not even close, but the bass belonged to someone more famous and more obvious.

He was and probably still is a star. A bass player, a famous band member and now a bandleader. He is also an author and collector of art. Oh, did I mention that once he had Marc Chagall, the surrealistic painter, as a next door neighbour?

I'll go with Bill Wyman. That is one beautiful bass. I want one!

You got it! I want one too!

 

[FenderMan]

Any more? This looks like some good fun....

 

[bluecoyote]

Well, OK then, I will continue .... Who's bass was this beauty? The only clue is that it was made by Ed Roman for this famous, albeit dead, bass legend.

 

[NB-SK]

Well, I'm stumped. I even checked online and could only come up with Les Claypool. As far as I know, he's very much alive.

I found this though...

I'm stumped too. Moreso that it's obviously a RH player, but the body angle says LH

 

[JBassJohn]

That looks like the John Entwhistle bass I mentioned in the other thread that I did not get a picture of.

 

[FenderMan]

Well, OK then, I will continue .... Who's bass was this beauty? The only clue is that it was made by Ed Roman for this famous, albeit dead, bass legend.

That would be owned by the Ox (Entwistle)

 

[bluecoyote]

Correct to both of you. It was made for John Entwhistle by Ed Roman and is part of his collection that sold recently. I wish I can find some details of that sale but to date I have nothing on the web.

Now, how about someone else posting a famous bass photo.

 

[bluecoyote]

Ok, this should be real easy ... what monster rock legend was this bass made for duh, duh da .....

 

[FenderMan]

I would guess Glover from Deep Purple.
