Funny what "the market" will pay.

I don't think it's an outrageous price really. Domestic Japanese basses aren't so easy to get hold of nowadays, and that one is in near mint condition. If someone specifically wanted that colour and didn't want the hassle of importing I can imagine that it would be worth that much to them. Especially if they happened to be within easy reach of Hove.

If you bought a second-hand 62RI from Ishabashi's Ubox it would cost you approximately £675 after shipping, duty and VAT etc.

Edit: That's to a Sunburst finish.

Makes me have dis- loyal selling thoughts about my '75 re-issue.
Half heartedly put it up for exchange for a Duck Dunn.
It's my 1st bass to look at, but 3rd to pick up and play.

I recently bought a MIJ 62 RI Jazz from 'starless' here on basschat for £380 in almost new condition. Great bass, great price, looking at this it seems I got a bargain!

The seller for this auction has contacted me and assured me there was nothing sinister about the private auction. I'm quite happy to accept his assurance.
