Specialist note


This lucite bass guitar was purchased as a pair to the previous lot from Lark Street Music, New Jersey, in January 2004. The guitar was photographed in the studio with bassist Glenn Worf during recording sessions for Mark Knopfler’s 2007 studio album Kill To Get Crimson, as seen in keyboard player Guy Fletcher’s online studio diaries.
