SlapbassSteve Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Interesting... there's a very similar one in red for slightly more at a Cashies in Liverpool, would love to know why these are worth so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The 60's Epiphone guitars seem to be commanding large prices these days I assume that the basses are effectively Gibson basses like their guitar counterparts so it may not be a bad price for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaFunk Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Is this the same or similar model? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Vintage-Epiphone-ET-285-Bass-Guitar-/200919988480?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2ec7c3b900"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2ec7c3b900[/url] I understand that these were Matsumoku made (that's what i've read on the net but i could be well be wrong) so this one looked like a good buy.
