Why isn't the bass glowing and changing colors?   :-\

Because it's lame? Also I've heard it gets hot when lit up.

You could see a little of the lights, but the Lightshow was a gimmick that worked best on darker club stages. According to John Hall, only five Lightshow 4005 basses were made.

The listing for the one that was for sale by Guitar Broker said that only three were still known. One is or was in Japan, the photo in Paul's book is from a Japanese source.

The 331 Light Show guitar is more common. McGuinn had a 12 string 331.

He was not a bad bass player. From what I know that's him on the records, not a studio player.

You're right, of course, there was a thread at RRF about 10 years ago where he explained how he bought it. It wasn't directly from Maurice, it had been sold in the meantime.

I believe so.

What a nice way to start the day!

They lost me in the disco era but they were really big in the late 60s and early 70s on FM radio in the era of Cream and Hendrix.  You wouldn't think they would be played side by side with the heavy stuff, but it happened.
