Catalogue Note
One of the first Jack Bruce Cream Reunion basses, designed by Bruce with Warwick for the Cream reunion concerts in May 2005. These four shows took place thirty-seven years after the Cream Farewell Concert on 26 November 1968, which, like the reunion shows, took place at the Royal Albert Hall. Tickets sold out in less than one hour.
The bass was too heavy for Jack to play for the long concerts, it remained his spare for the shows, and can be seen on stage during the performances.
Sold with a certificate of authenticity signed by Jack Bruce.
