4 Strings Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 A friend has had a bereavement in the family and has some bass gear to dispose including a 1964 Burns short scale bass. Not sure of the model as I've not actually seen it. I reckoned ~£300 as its a short scale and so would have fewer people interested. What do you think? Was I close?

JMT3781 Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 i sold a 62' on ebay for 350 buy it now.. guess i could have got more considering how fast it went though lol
thebrig Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 I had a Burns short scale around 1967, it was a few years old when I bought it for £15, so probably a 1962/63/64 model. The model was a 'Sonic' and had two pickups. If you have a picture, it would make it easier for us to identify it. By the way, I swapped it a couple of years later for some fishing tackle, what a MUG!

Theres a 1963 Burns Vista Sonic on Ebay at the moment for 2000 pounds. You need to find out which model youve got,maybe post some pics!
Musky Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 The Nu Sonic has Beatles associations so it may attract some interest from fans.
