Soliloquy Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 He sold a couple of Wal basses last year. I don't know how much they went for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutpepper Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I may be wrong but I think they went to collectors in Germany for a pretty penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Needs a bit of work but yeah cheap. I sold my black Spoiler for £1500 a few months back on eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 I checked and the reserve is more than a grand, so I guess this isn't going to sell unless there is a last minute flurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my black Spoiler for £1500 a few months back on eBay[/quote] Interesting one. As one of the 'cheaper' Alembics I would have thought that you got a very good price for yours at £1500 Clarky... As far as Derek's bass goes, the damage and the age would lower it's value to well below a grand IMV - but how much does its history [i]really[/i] add to the value? I think he may be a bit ambitious setting the reserve that high. Having said that, New Gold Dream is one of my all-time favourite albums. I always loved the bass tone, but never realised it was a Spoiler! I guessed it was a P. Shows what I know!
