Used by Andy Rourke from 1985 onwards as seen in footage from the meat is murder tour, as well as the Queen is dead tour.

Andy’s main bass used with the smiths: his beloved 1964 Fender precision bass in sunburst. It was purchased for him by Seymour Stein in New York City in early 1984 after The Smiths signed with the label. He also bought Johnny Marr the “famous” ES-355. Andy was drawn to this well loved and worn bass due to its year, being the same year he was born in. This bass can be seen throughout The Smiths prime time, and has been used on many of their albums and live performances. It is considered to be his “old faithful”.

It was a special production line specifically for the UK. A notable player of this bass is John Entwistle of the Who. A major influence on Andy Rourke.

This bass can be seen most predominantly during the 1986 Smiths era in TV appearances and live performances on the Queen Is Dead tour.
