FENDER, basse precision, série L 1965 - Corine... Lot n° 49

FENDER Bass, Precision model, L series Year: 1965 Serial number : L84299 Rosewood fingerboard, maple neck, alder body. Belonged to Corine Marienneau of the group Téléphone. "I am not a bass player, I am a Téléphone bass player" are the words of Corine Marienneau who in the early 70's thought that dancing would be her future. However, she will become the instinctive and haunting bass of the French rock band par excellence, Téléphone, from 1976 to 1986. After several years of playing heavy and uncomfortable basses, Corine fell under the spell of this light Precision "L" with a neck profile much more suited to her sensitivity and energy. This bass is present within Telephone from their third album (Heart of the night, October 1980), and will be visible on several concerts in particular in November 1982 at the hippodrome of Pantin and in 1983 at the Rockpalast festival. Patinated by time, we also join the case of the bass. This unique object is the testimony of the most beautiful hours of the group through the tours, recordings and concerts of the inescapable French rock group. On the outside of the case we can see a set of stickers paying tribute to the mythical places of the Parisian rock scene from the 60s to the 80s, including Le Palace and especially the Golf Drouot, a former mythical place, temple of rock that hosted the biggest names in music such as David Bowie or The Who. A real launching pad, the Golf Drouot has propelled many artists such as Jean-Philippe Smet (Johnny Hallyday) or Claude Moine (Eddy Mitchell) in the 60s. Despite its closure in November 1981, the place continued to put forward several artists in the 70s, such as Martin Circus, a certain Daniel Balavoine and ... Telephone. The inner part of the case is marked by the musical production work of Corine Marienneau in the 80s as evidenced by the presence of a setlist of Blessed Virgins. The bass is said to have been loaned to Frederic Lebovici for the band's recording sessions. In an interview about her instruments, Corine says: "It's the only one I really like". This bass is therefore presented as is with a pronounced general wear and tear which testifies to a lack of care and a certain intensity of play. Some modifications are to be noted: -The volume potentiometer has been changed. -The original bridge was replaced by a Schaller D4 black. -Holes on the table (about 2mm in diameter) show the presence of a Thumb Rest which has been removed. A certificate of authenticity written and signed by Corine Marienneau is included with the bass.
