    date is March 15, 1965

    maybe its a uke with the strap like a bib? Odd that guy wears a tiny women's watch too...

    I suspect when you consider that is 7'1" Wilt Chamberlain, ANY mans watch would look tiny on his wrist. Not to mention a regular size guitar.
    Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.

      This thread (Wilt Chamberlain's Guitar | Telecaster Guitar Forum) came up with the first version Bass VI.

        Yah its definitely a 1961/2 Bass VI as it has the smooth chrome pickup rings and what looks like only 3 slide switches near the lower bout. Its a shame the string spacing is too small for even normal sized hands and must be played with a pick.

        Here's Wilt on same couch with a couple of his (many) dogs
