A Gretsch Tennessean 6071 walnut bass guitar used and owned by Noel Gallagher during his time in Oasis. This guitar was originally obtained from Gallagher's personal collection and was used in the studio for recording purposes. Gem Archer played this guitar during a performance with Gallagher and Paul Weller at the Steve Marriott tribute concert held at the London Astoria on 20 April 2001.

This Gretsch 6071 bass guitar comprises an ebony neck and a maple body displaying a walnut-stain finish and two faux F-holes. It features a single pickup, a master volume switch and a three-way tone switch.

The back of the headstock is autographed by Gallagher in black ink, and the instrument comes with a protective hard case labelled "Gretch [sic] Tenessean Bass Brown". Inside the case is a letter from guitar maker Bill Puplett detailing work that needs to be done on the instrument, and noting that its electrical components have been previously inspected. The lot exhibits signs of lacquer checking, wear on the metal components and notable wear on the case exterior. Dimensions (guitar): 125 cm x 40 cm x 7 cm (49.25" x 15.75" x 2.75"); (case): 131 cm x 46 cm x 14.5 cm (51.5" x 18" x 5.75")
