Happy Birthday to former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman, who turns 86 today (October 24th). Wyman, who quit the Stones in 1991, was on hand for the band's 2012 London shows as part of their 50 & Counting Tour. Both Wyman and longtime fans were disappointed that he was relegated to only two songs during the shows, sitting with the band during "It's Only Rock N' Roll" and "Honky Tonk Women." In 2020, Wyman set the record for the highest selling bass guitar at the three-day "Property From Bill Wyman And His Rolling Stones Archive" sale via Juliens Auctions. Wyman's 1969 Fender Mustang bass with a competition orange finish, which was a mainstay of Stones concerts and recording sessions in 1969 and 1970, sold for a whopping $384,000. Also raising eyebrows was Wyman's legendary 1962 Vox AC30 Normal model amplifier, which snagged a cool $106,250 easily besting last year's sale of two of David Gilmour's prized amps.
