Mosrite Bass Question

[cophagus]

Don Wilson did not like the Mosrite because of the narrow neck and Nokie Edwards loved the Mosrite. Does anyone know what Bob Bogle though of the Mosrite bass? I have only read that he liked his Hofner bass as it was very light until it was stolen and also that he designed a special strap to take some of the weight off his shoulder from his Fender basses. Nokie and Don have mentioned in several interviews their thoughts on Mosrite guitars but I've found nothing about Bob Bogle thoughts on the Mosrite bass.

Bob played on many different types of basses but one of his favourites I believe was the Fender Precision -when not tied to a brand endorsement. Sometime during the early eighties he bought a bass from Red Rhodes (pedal-steel guitarist on 'Walk-Don't Run '64' and 'Theme From Shaft' albums). Red had it in his shop; it was a P-bass type featuring a narrower, specialty neck attached to a thicker, custom-made (curly maple) body by "Boogie Bodies". It had Velvet Hammer pickups (split type), Badass Bridge and gold pick-guard.
Bob could be caught playing a Guyatone “Sharp Five” Bass some time during the mid-eighties. A short while before his passing he played on a Wilson Brothers'...
