Conan Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Eek! That's a heck of a premium just because it was owned by a mediocre bassist with a big tongue... Quote
The Bass Doc Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Why should a bass being owned by someone relatively well known make it ten times it's actual value? Never quite understood that. Quote
the boy Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 [quote name='The Bass Doc' timestamp='1330982492' post='1565905'] Why should a bass being owned by someone relatively well known make it ten times it's actual value? Never quite understood that. [/quote] It's only worth that much to a handful of people, of that handful only one or two would have the moolah and the balls to buy it. This guy is having a punt if the right person sees it he will get a sale if they don't he won't. My buddy had a jazz bass about 20 years ago that was owned and played by Noel Redding of the Jimi Hendrix experience. He also had a strat that was played and signed by Rory Gallagher. It was a session guitar Rory had played quite a bit, Picked them both up for small money as well. I bet they're worth a few quid now. Quote
