2023 Solomon Islands $2 1-oz Silver Dynamic Duo Precision Bass & Bassman 2-pc Reverse Proof Set

The Music World’s Funky Dynamic Duo

When most people hear the term “Dynamic Duo,” their thoughts immediately turn to images of Batman and Robin leaping into the Batmobile to answer the call of Commissioner Gordon and the Bat Signal shining brightly above the rooftops of Gotham City. That’s most people. For musicians, it likely evokes funky memories of smooth bass lines grooving over a tasty track thanks to the Fender® Precision Bass Guitar and Bassman amplifier. Designed to create specific sounds, the Precision Bass needed a special amplifier—the Bassman. The two-piece team has since been referred to as the music world’s dynamic duo and has become an integral part of Motown and Soul music. This two-coin set of pure silver legal tender pieces celebrates the Dynamic Duo with a pair of Proof-Like shaped coins that capture the unmistakable look of this groundbreaking team of musical equipment.

The P-Bass And Its Roll In Modern Music

Each piece in this set has been struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver and has been officially licensed by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, the world’s foremost manufacturer of guitars, basses, amplifiers, and related equipment. One coin replicates the unique headstock, neck, body, pickups. and bridge of the iconic Fender “P-Bass.” The other coin shows the famous Bassman amplifier. Originally intended to amplify only bass guitars, the Bassman was later used for other instrument amplification, including electric guitars, harmonicas, and pedal steel guitars. Among the many musicians who’ve played the P-Bass is Motown legend James Jamerson, who calls his ’62 P-Bass “the funk machine.” Other top bass players who’ve used the Precision Bass include Donald “Duck” Dunn, Carol Kaye, Pino Palladino, Steve Harris, Willie Weeks, Sting, Paul Simon, and George Porter Jr.

Reverse Proof Finish With Selective Colorization

Struck by PAMP® Suisse (Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux), this set was released on behalf of the Solomon Islands, a self-governing nation located in in the South Pacific made up of hundreds of island. Each legal-tender $2 coin comes with a unique Reverse Proof finish meaning that unlike regular Proof coins that are struck with frosted details rising over mirror-like fields, these coins have mirror-like details rising over frosted fields. The addition of color adds to the realism of the pieces that measure 28.6 mm x 86.5 mm for the bass guitar and 35.6 mm x 34.4mm for the amp.
