Difficult to find photos of Roger Glover specifically playing a purple bass when he's in a band named "Deep Purple".

and here I thought Blackmore would sign no lute before its time. I would like to think that Glover might break out in purple hives if all he had to lay down the bottom end on Space Truckin' was a Höfner.... But it seems "Höfner" might not have been the objectionable characteristic, but rather "pürple" :lol"

"Do you remember your first bass guitar in your first professional band?

Roger Glover: Yes, well actually, my first bass guitar, I wasn’t professional yet – I was still at school – it was a Höfner (a german bass) – it was kind of like, yes in those days it was very difficult to get any American stuff in England because of the Marshall Plan and so you could get Italian and German instruments very easily. It was a Höfner, it was sort of like a copy of a precision but smaller. But the most important thing was that it was red. Yeah, I think we had to have a red guitar."

^Nice & subtle!

Relicing purple sparkle intentionally should be a hate crime.

haha--I did it even notice the relic bit-I only have eyes for sparkle.

Relic'ing it's just so easy to diy and get it right the first time

Or just play it.. everything looks better with age.

Yeah--that's what I meant
