Burns Flyte Bass 1970's [PREOWNED]

Description
Featuring its unmistakable futuristic, swept-wing body design, inspired by the supersonic Concorde aircraft, the Flyte is one of the most unusual and eye-catching bass guitars of the 1970s.

Produced in relatively limited numbers during the short-lived Burns UK era, these basses are becoming increasingly sought after by vintage guitar collectors and players looking for something a little different.

The Flyte combines its striking appearance with a comfortable short-scale neck and a distinctive vintage bass tone. Its dual Humbuster pickups provide a punchy, full sound suitable for a variety of musical styles.

A rare opportunity to own an iconic 1970s British-designed bass guitar.

This instrument has been carefully inspected, professionally set up, and thoroughly tested by our in-house technician.
