Burns of London Custom Shop prototype Jet Harris Barracuda Bass VI


guitarz.blogspot.com:


The eBay UK seller claims that this is:
"...the prototype for Jet Harris Barracuda six string bass. It was handmade at Burns London custom shop and is a one off. I bought it from Barry Gibson's personal collection. It is absolutely immaculate condition with case strap and spare strings..." 
We previously looked at the production version here. Note how this prototype has the Burns Rez-O-Tube bridge and vibrato, unlike the example we previously looked at, and which surely must be much more useful on a guitar of this type.

This guitar is currently listed on eBay UK with a starting price of £1,500.
