icastle Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 £8k for something that looks like it's just been pulled from a builders skip? I'll never get my head around this 'thing' some people have with fake roadworn instruments... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1336327521' post='1644104'] £8k for something that looks like it's just been pulled from a builders skip? I'll never get my head around this 'thing' some people have with fake roadworn instruments... [/quote] Since it's 54 years old the wear is probably genuine. Although I still don't get the obsession with Fenders in general. I have a British-made bass that's about 50 years old and isn't worth anything like £8k and shouldn't be anyway.

Gust0o Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Maybe it's just on Ishi as someone wants to see how much he might get for it, you spiteful c***s*****s. Why don't you channel your negative energies into something more positive, if you have the TIM. I'll be joining Ian in his alcove and hoping people read the other thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Judging by the picture Godzilla has wiped his big scaley arse with it, which I guess would command a premium price in Japan.

Stacker Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Ok, so the man emails me. As expected, new nut and a re-fret, but the pots have been changed, too! Anyway, pipe-dream bass at that price, and overpriced with it, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Overpriced at 1/8th the price, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
