This bass is suposed to be one of the first basses that Dee Dee owned in his life and career. He appears holding it in a 1975 photo in front of CBGB´s. Although there are little to none photos of him actually playing with it, most appear to believe that it was with that instrument that Dee Dee played with on the Ramones earliest performances and recordings.

Used very early on, purchased from Manny’s 23rd January 1974 the same day Johnny purchased his blue Mosrite. Can be heard on the 915 Demo sessions and at a couple of early CBGB Gigs.
