A bass magazine article in the late 90s mentioned Les Claypool playing one, IIRC he said he liked the rubbery sound he got from it.
Rob Grill of the Grass Roots played his 995 on TV mimed appearances early in their career and possibly in live performance but studio musicians played on the recordings.A bass magazine article in the late 90s mentioned Les Claypool playing one, IIRC he said he liked the rubbery sound he got from it.My first bass was a 1968 Vox V283 Spyder exactly like this one. It was made in the same factory as the Eko. Despite what that VG article said, neither were cheap back then. I paid $355 new for mine and the Eko was about the same. That was expensive back then! Both sounded better to me than a Höfner 500/1.
$600. Looks original and in good condition. Excellent price IMHOhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/332852719364
