Steely Dan: Walter Becker's Hybrid 1963-64
Steely Dan: Walter Becker's Hybrid 1963-64 Fender Bass. Walter Becker bought this bass in 1989. Walter used the bass for early tracking on songs on Donald Fagen's Kamakiriad CD. This bass is a 1964 Fender Jazz Bass with a 1963 Fender Precision Bass neck. The neck has not been modified. The body has had the pickguard screw holes filled and has been refinished in a pale blue. The original pickups have been replaced with Bartolinis and an active tone circuit. The serial number on this instrument is L21223. This is an excellent playing vintage bass, set up for professional use. In recent years the bass has been part of a studio collection, and has been used on various projects for film director David Lynch. Included with this lot is a black Fender hardshell case. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
