Rare, desirable things are always sought after. Whether it’s cars, art or anything else. Instruments are no different. These are very special, have unique features, are very scarce, and seldom available. Any item hitting those qualities will be in demand.
Does a Ferrari 250 make you a better driver by spending £45m? Is it worth £45m?
Is a Picasso worth £300m, when you can frame a print for £200?
All these items increase in value every year far more than inflation, or normal investment, including the Jazz bass.
Sure it’s not for everyone, but fair play to the chap or chapess who gets to enjoy this one. Good for them. I’d love it!!
