*Sold with an authentication certificate from Andy Baxter Vintage Bass & Guitars, signed by Jah Wobble in June 2022 stating: 'This Ovation Magnum 1 replaced my original (slightly battered) Magnum Ovation (that I still have) in the late 00s. I use it with wide gauge flat-wound nylon strings. It is fantastic for playing dub on. I used it on a few recordings over the last decade or so. The 'Usual Suspects' and 'Everything's Nothing' are two that come to mind'. The sale also includes a colour photograph of Jah Wobble holding the guitar.
