Dean Rhapsody 12-String Bass Ads

Early ad for the Rhapsody 12-string bass, possibly from the Dean website.

This ad from the March/April 2005 issue of Bass Guitar Magazine in the UK is the only one we have found from a dealer that promoted the Dean Rhapsody 12-string bass. The ad was run by Bill Lewington Musical Instruments (which closed in 2018) of Basildon, England, a small suburb east of London. The text notes that this bass is “also available as an 8-string for the more timid player”.
