Here is a very rare vintage 70's Ludwig Jazzette, finished in its original Black Panther wrap. 14x18", 8x12", 14x14" - this outfit is all original with the exception of its heads and is in excellent condition! There are a couple cosmetic blemishes on the chrome as well as the surface of the wrap, most notably a point of contact between the rail consolette and the wrap on top of the bass drum, as well as some very minor rash opposite from the badge panel, player's side on the 14x14". Serial numbers are:
14x18" - 840347 - Date stamped Feb 10, 1971
8x12" - 796530 -
14x14" - 905470
Steve's Notes: This is SUCH a cool set! Truly rate. As many of you know, black panther wrap was very thin and was used to cover citrus mod shells. Citrus Mod is insanely rare, and never seen as 12/14/18. This set is NOT citrus mod. (I was able to check under a small spot under a lug on each drum). BUT, it is a very cool set. Factory issued. The actual catalogued ‘Jazzette’ had a 12x18 bass drum, but this set was ordered with a 14x18 so I’m still calling it a Jazzette, since that name defines the Ludwig kit offered with an 18BD.
