Those are great basses. I love the finish on those. Several questionable things in this listing though. I thought the BB 1200 was introduced later in the decade, (1979?). I know McCartney used one for the "Back to the Egg" album. (And Kampuchea concert - see link below). And EMGs? They don't look like EMGs to me. Thumb rest added, no mention of that.

I thought so too. Not sure why he said it was an EMG.
