Bee Gees…that was funny.
LMFAO One of my professors is Matt Bonelli the bass player from the Bee Gees.
Ah yes. The great Bass Lines of the Bee Gees. Truely, they were pioneers.
Actually, this would have been a 1960 Jazz…the stacked knob was only available during the first half of ’60..then went to 3 controls thereafter.
The stacked knob was resurrected for one year…the 1962 model….This could be a ’62, but Guy said his was one of the first made, so I’d say within the first 6 months of ’60.
