Here's a fairly recent video of Paul playing his BB1200 for the auction to Benefit Music Rising:

He sold this bass at auction back in Dec. '21 for a record $496,100!!

Like many of us, I am a huge Paul Fan but that $$ for a bass that is not his legacy is crazy.

Looking for info on these basses I've looped back to this thread!
Here's my BB1200 based on pics I believe it's from the same year as Carmine's!

My ‘77 BB1200 is almost identical to Carmine’s, with the bridge pickup.

Look at that, another one!
I bet these BB1200 with two pickups sound amazing.
