Photocopy or reprint(most ads were published at one time only, and never commercially reproduced) An unusual and distinctive piece for your frame. more or stains, comes from a dry, high-altitude, smoke-free environment, and is strictly graded"Near Mint" This vintage ad is not any kind of later reproduction. Still, I love all the techy stuff with this Magnum II bass, even if it’s not always all that useful.This is an original 1979 print ad for Ovation guitars! It measures approximately 16" x 11" overall(the two pages measured together) Has no tears. In 1988 Ovation just gave up and bought Hamer guitars and finally had a successful solidbody guitar and bass line on its hands. In 1987 they imported a line of Celebrity solids completely finished in Korea.
#OVATION MAGNUM BASS FOR SALE SERIES#
These were the Hard Bodies series that featured the aforementioned GP model. In 1985 Ovation imported some Korean necks and bodies and finished them up in the U.S. As in “not so great,” not as in the country western singing star. And Eddie Hazel offers a glimpse of a Deacon or Breadwinner on the back of his album Games, Dames & Guitar Thangs. Johnny Graham of Earth, Wind & Fire was seen playing a white Breadwinner on the 1976 album Gratitude. Jim Messina and the Strawbs briefly endorsed them. Ovation did pick up a few endorsers over the years. They finally pulled that plug in 1983 and just said no to making their own solidbody electric guitars and basses. They tried valiantly to plant the flag for close to 15 years, to no avail. Ovation had actually begun making electric guitars-as distinct from its acoustic-electric guitars-way back in 1968 with its Electric Storm series of thinline semi-hollowbodies, the Thunderhead and the Tornado. This bass has only mono output, which is a shame! A similar Magnum I was also offered that gave you stereo output, but didn’t have the EQ. Of course the brass saddles on the cast bridge/tailpiece assembly are micro-adjustable so you can noodle your intonation to your heart’s delight, and you can even adjust the tension of the whole tailpiece using an allen wrench.
#OVATION MAGNUM BASS FOR SALE DRIVER#
You need a little screw driver to adjust them to your liking, picking your sweet spots. It’s got that big honking neck pickup which would be cool enough, but it has 4 individually adjustable volume trim pots built in under the cover. One down the middle of the back and two more under the fingerboard.

Not only does the neck have a regular truss rod, it’s also got three carbon graphite strips for additional stability/reinforcement. In any case, when I found this Ovation Magnum II Bass with a built-in on-board 3-band graphic EQ, I had to have it! That it was/is exceptionally, well, homely with its lumpy potato shape certainly added to the mystique!Īctually, there’s so much going on with this bass it’s mind boggling. Robinson liked them too because he’s got a couple of Ovation inspirations in his line offered here, the Eastwood GP and Breadwinner models. Unfortunately, I was one of the very few who ever liked Ovation solidbodies, because they were notoriously bad sellers. I mean, what’s not to like about a battle-axe-shaped guitar like the Breadwinner and Deacon?! Or those nifty Ultra Kaman UK IIs with an aluminum frame and urethane foam body (finished up in really ugly sunbursts)! As you’d expect, the workmanship was always first rate on those guitars. So naturally I’ve always been attracted to Ovation’s solids. Vintage 1979 Ovation Magnum II Bass Guitar
