Jet used his Bass VI on
Besame Mucho,
Main Title Theme,
Man From Nowhere,
Rave and
Again.
Jet identified the guitar used on the recording of
Diamonds as a Gretsch. There is no information on the model. It is definitely not a Bass VI, just a guitar tuned down a tone (DGCFAE, L-H).
Despite the obvious visual clues from the time (and the preserved live performance at the 1964 NME Pollwinners' Concert), there is no reason to believe that Jet ever recorded with the Fender Jaguar (unless the material was lost, something which HAS been suggested by Tony).
Scarlet O'Hara does not feature Jet at all (unless he is playing bass). Guitarist Joe Moretti may have been playing a Guild Stratford electric with three pickups and a Bigsby (and very obviously fitted with flatwound strings). It is safe to assume he played the same guitar on Tony Meehan's 1964 single
Song Of Mexico.
