uhm..very interesting..look at the standar jag switchplate and the reversed slant bridge pickup..If I don't go wrong I remember a similar painted JM with 3 pickups that bleonged to Clapton in the Cream era and then given to Hendrix..it's in the hard rock cafe of somewhere in the world..

Seems like such a shame to see it stuck to a wall. Someone should be playing it.
Why should we buy postage stamps? We can make our own.

Jack Brue is none, but Jack BruCe instead was the bassist of the overcharged blues band called Cream that featured Clapton on the guitar (when he was cool and nothing than boring) and Jinger Baker on drums.
Bruce and Baker where so good that almost overshadowed Clapton at that era.
Curious that Baker in the late '70s came to Italy to work effectively as a BAKER in a small town near mine. ;D (sorry for the funny OT)

Oh... yeah, the "C" changes everything!

And wasn't it Ginger (not Jinger) Baker?

Or maybe we're talking about that group called Half and Half instead of Cream.

Jack Brue on bass, Jinger Baker on drums and Eric Clayton on guitar.

It's a repro.
Some american shop made a run of "Cream" Japanese RI Bass VI and sold them on Ebay last year.
