Ovation Magnum II : Showcase, Review, & Demo 2020

Today I will be exploring a rare find: an Ovation Magnum II bass guitar! These instruments were likely produced from 1974 - 1979 and have so many interesting small details and features going for them. Ovation is a company most well-known for their innovative roundback acoustic guitars; however, it was always their quirky and sadly overlooked solidbody electric instruments that I found most compelling. Record keeping for the sale and production of these instruments was spotty back then, and as a result there is much debate over what should be mundane statistics, (how many were produced, what year were they first manufactured, etc). You would think that perhaps the serial numbers on each instrument could offer some clues, but unfortunately the numbers on the back of these instruments don't mean much at all. I've even spoken to Ovation reps who told me that back then the workers would just grab parts out of bins when assembling these instruments, leading to a whole lot of uniquely mismatched guitars with nearly meaningless serial numbers. Here's what I do know about my Ovation Magnum II: According to OvationTribute, my serial number of B 2777 places the manufacture of this bass somewhere in the ballpark of 1974 - 1979. When you consider that Ovation only produced solidbody electrics from 1971 - 1983/84, this puts the Magnum towards the middle of the pack. Seeing as this is a Magnum II and not a III or IV, I would venture to guess that it was produced in an earlier range of dates, say 1974 - 1976, but this is only supposition. I run 105 - 50 Medium Gauge bass strings on my Magnum II and usually have it tuned down a half step to Eb (E flat) standard tuning.

And check out this beautiful fretless Magnum II: https://www.flickr.com/photos/1634153... A rare find indeed! Ovation did make a few of these fretless, but as to how many I'm sure nobody knows. A shame it's not more common as I think the tones you can create with the EQ sliders would be perfect for a fretless sonic profile.
