He used a Fender Jazz bass with Kevin Ayers. Not sure if it (Fender Jazz bass) belonged to Mike or Kevin! Back to top

(he may have used the red one too, I don't know). There are some pictures of this guitar here: Miles Apart -------------- Clotty Back to top

I can not believe, that the red bass from the NNOTP is the Fender Precision from the 60s. Just have a look to the Instrument photo. For me that instrument looks too new. I think it is a Precision that Mike bought in the last years. Back to top

I agree it does look in good condition for a 40+ year old guitar other than a small crack on the pickguard. It would be interesting to know for sure either way. -------------- Clotty Back to top
