From 1979 through 1982, Dee Dee Ramone played a 1975 Fender Precision bass on stage with the Ramones. Now, it can be yours.
Boston-based auction house RR Auction recently acquired the bass and has put it on the block; it's currently approaching the $20,000 mark, complete with documentation that this was indeed Dee Dee's go-to bass in the early '80s. After he stopped using it on stage, it became his primary bass for recording for the rest of the decade.
