Things were very different in the early 70s. When Prog Rock bands started doing things like Rick Wakeman�s �King Arthur on Ice�, excessive times called for excessive instruments. Rick�s bass player got British bass-maker Wal to build him a three-necked bass/bass/guitar monstrosity, which was later inherited by Chris Squier of Yes. Inevitably, John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin appeared a couple of years later with a vast semi-acoustic mandolin/mandolin/bass.
