1966 Jazz Bass parts

[BassBod]

Don't do it! (scrabbles around looking for things to sell....) Give me about a year, and I might have enough cash (but probably not a car!).

Just to confirm this bass is now going to be broken up and sold in parts.

Can you post (or if you prefer, PM me) a list of prices that you'd let the parts go for? I'm interested to know the value of some of them and you might even get a few takers!

PM sent. A few expressions of interest already so I'll see how they go before posting full prices for all parts on here.

Okay folks, following a bit of research and consultation with BC colleagues, prices for the genuine vintage parts are as follows:

[list]
[*]neck + tuners £900 (I'd rather sell the neck as a complete unit)
[*]bridge pickup £220
[*]control plate (plate, pots, cap, knobs - modern jack socket but original included in sale) £150
[*]neckplate and screws £100
[*]neck pu cover (repro screws) £90
[*]bridge and screws £80
[*]thumbrest and screws £40
[*]strap buttons and screws £25
[/list]

Cheers

Hi Gareth,

I am no expert on prices by any means but my gut feel is that you are undervaluing the neck and tuners. I am sure I have seen 66 necks go for a grand or more and the oval tuners are worth £2-300 in their own right.

As I say not certain of these values but I think £900 is a very keen price and someone will get a bargain.

Thanks Steve. I'll welcome any and all advice on these prices as this is a market I am not that familiar with (I'm used to selling complete instruments).

By the way, the Bravewood body, scratchplate and Voodoo pickup are already sold.

I know. It was a painful experience and I will never do that to a bass again.

Still here.

Shall I split the neck and tuners? £600 and £300 respectively if any interest.

NB: One screw will be missing from the tuners; it obviously sheared off at some point!
