If my info is correct then the Wyman bass is Italian made and looking at the neck laminates in this link you can believe it, very unusual :) The VOX Showroom - Vox Guitars: Vox Wyman Bass V248
I was in a band 70-72, playing High School shows. The guitarist had 2 (2!) Vox Super Beatles. I was playing a Vox Continental through a Leslie, mic'ed into my Kasino Bass amp, the bassist had a V-4 w/ 2 215's.. We were loud!(yes, there was a drummer-2 bass drums, snare, 3 mounted toms, 2 floor toms and more cymbals than you could say grace over). PA was a 5 channel mixer, Dynaco pre-amp, Binson Echo-Rec, Crown dc-300 into 4 Altec A-7 Voice of the Theater utility cabs. Probably the finest privately owned PA in FL at the time. <EDIT>the Continental was borrowed, I really wanted a Continental Baroque. Somewhat interesting side story: the drummer's name was Randy Rhodes(Not That Randy Rhodes). He and I built a BIG cabinet-on wheels-to house all the PA components. Naturally we named it "The Colossus":smug:

Shvt Jeff. I am truly sorry. I know how much you’ve sacrificed of yourself to take care of family. Love you, buddy. You’re a very great man. Nothing but love and respect


They’re pretty darn good, IMO!

I can’t get past Jeff’s pain on this one though. Jeff has been the most positive influence on this thread, time and time again. I sure appreciate you, brother. You’re the main reason I’m still here.
I hope you know what you mean to us...certainly to me

Mark, your kindness means a lot to me. I'm very humbled by your thoughts.
