Description

1960s Premier Multivox Scroll Bass "Mark Sandman" 2-String 1960s Premier Multivox scroll bass , modified to match Mark Sandman's 2-string slide bass he made famous playing with Morphine. Like Sandman's bass, separated P-Bass pickups were installed as well as updated electronics. The middle two strings were left on and I have been tuning them to octave Ds. The bridge and neck were set up to get the higher action Sandman used for his unique slide style. Several dot markers are missing, which is also consistent with Sandman's bass. Premier basses from this era are extremely rare and the scroll carving adds a lot of character. Kelvin Daly, right-hand man to Carl Thompson, did the modification work to get to the Mark Sandman specs. It's really cool to play it in the Sandman slide style, even if you are not trying to cover Morphine songs.

Mark Sandman was widely known to use a vintage Premier Multivox Scroll bass that he further modified into a two-string slide bass / "basitar" for use in his project Morphine. After removing the original pickups, a single precision bass-style pickup was split and placed in the neck and bridge positions.
