EssentialTension Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I say it will go for substantially in excess of £4,000. Quote

wesfinn Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 It must be true that when you mention james Jamerson in a listing your profits will double... I have a load of old crap on ebay at the moment...I heard once that Jamerson may of had a load of old crap similar to mine laying about at some point too. Starting price £1200.00 Quote

[I may have invented that because my memory is not what it used to be.][/quote] I seem to remember that being the tale of him trying a fretless bass guitar (possibly an Ampeg). He could have done it with the Bass V too, to be fair. Quote
