A signed bass guitar from the personal collection of funk legend Bootsy Collins, housed among the instruments that formed part of his primary studio setup.

Played by Bootsy in the studio and later donated in support of the Bootsy and Patti Collins Foundation’s Funk Not Fight initiative, the instrument represents a direct connection to one of the most influential bass players in modern music history. Personally signed by Bootsy Collins, it remained in his studio before being made available to support the foundation’s charitable work.
