Wish it could be seen better in the pic. Never saw him playing it. It'd be interesting to know more!

A friend of mine has a relative that works in the memrobilia department at Hard Rock. I have already requested detailed pics. I hope she can come through for us. This looks like a good one! From that side pic, it looks like it has a scroll, brass control plate, and clear pickups. Check out those inlays!

Now that I've stared at it for a while, I'm not sure about the bridge.

The electronics look like a set of Series I with a volume control. I'm guessing sometime between 1970 and 1974.

Looks like the electronics that I have on my 1972 bass. I see front mounted volume controls and a stereo/mono switch. I really like this setup a lot.
