I think that's still a fair price. Congrats to whoever got it, maybe someone from here?

Man, I think I better just stick to my Spectors 🙂

Back in October, BassBros sold it very quickly too, one or two days, as far as I remember. Maybe the price was too low. I think it was £1k.

Agree, reminds me a bit of the "artist" who was asked to design a statue of Ronaldo and came up with this:

Exactly. I got the bass from the Bass Hunter in Japan. So far, he managed to find "one" replacement knob. I asked him to keep on looking for a second one and then send me both together to save postage costs. Well, I don't need them anymore but whoever buys the BB, now you know that you only need to find one 🙂 Please feel free to write to Danny if you want the knob. I paid for it (¥2,154, March this year) and I am happy to donate it to the new owner of my BB. Merry Christmas 🎄

Can't be! Obviously, Alan Rickman would have played a Rickenbacker. Ok, probably wise for me to leave this thread now 🙂

Go for it. It is a great bass. You can haggle a bit too: The knobs are not the original ones!

Speaking of Polish prog, one of my favs:

That's hilarious. The band name, the clothes, the hairstyles. Would love to check them out on YT, but I am concerned that when I type in their band name, I will then be bombarded with certain ads and if my wife sees them, she will get concerned 😉

The only Christmas Nr 1 I really liked:

Well spotted, DCI @Maude 🙂

Congrats! I am sure you will enjoy it. I recently owned its sibling in the sunburst finish, also from 78. Great bass with lots of oomph. Unfortunately, I recently had to sell it to pay some bills. Sad but true 😞 Maybe someone here got it (sold it via BassBros). Whoever got it - you got yourself a great bargain!

Happy to pay you 50p, won't even haggle, because it's Christmas time. Shall I send you my address for delivery? 😉

The most expensive bass ever sold at auction for $496,100 Like yours from 78. https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/music/news/paul-mccartneys-bass-is-now-the-most-expensive-ever-sold-at-auction-8202/

I am sure Fender will eventually release an American Pro 11 but at the moment we are still only at nr 2 (II) 😉 BTW, there is no Ultra II, at least not at the moment, maybe you know more than us (NAMM is around the corner so maybe you have some insider intel :-). There is a Vintera II and an American Vintage II though.

I am confident that in one universe of the multiverse, this makes perfect sense.

I also think Sterling by Music Man should reach out to Sting and offer him a Ray 34 as a signature bass. Would then be the Sting Ray 34. 😜 Ok, ok, I better go 😉

Not to mention that there was also a US made Music Man SUB and a Music Man S.U.B.

Ok, I'll better go offline before it gets worse 🙂
