The Mosrite Ventures bass was introduced as a result of the 1963 marketing and distrubtion deal between Mosrite and the Ventures group. The Ventures Bass has the classic Mosrite upside down Strat shaped body, distinctive German carve, angled neck pickup and M shape notched headstock. It was used by the Ventures' Bob Bogel and is pictured on the front of "The Ventures Knock Me Out!" album.
