These images were very kindly sent to me by a reader.
A nice looking Ned Callan Bass.
It has crazing on the finish but almost all of them have some finish marks.
The tuners are not original but I think they add quit a lot to the appearance, as well, I'm sure, keeping the old fella in tune.
I have a Ned Callan Custom Bass, serial number 773. I bought it
second hand from a shop in Liverpool around 1976. It still sounds good. I
used it when I was in A Formal Sigh. You may still find some of our
recordings on YouTube; they are fast disappearing. Here's one:
