Anyone for a REAL Pino Bass????


Recommended Posts

Funny thing this memorabilia business.

Does the mere fact that Pino once played a particular bass [u]really[/u] add £12,000 to its value?

I guess that's a rhetorical question (assuming it sells for that price of course), but I'm fascinated by the thought process that goes through someone's mind when buying things like this.

And let's face it, it really is all in the mind!

Shish kebab. Serial number 0008, Fender '52 P. I imagine BC's Rick would be up for that if he could sell a kidney ....

Did the P serials start from 0001? I know the first 100 or so Strats had serials starting 0100 in '54.

They went;

100 - 400 in 1951 - 1952
0001 - 0999 in 1952 - 1954

[/quote]BCers could have my ex- Bruce Thomas '63 Olympic White Precision for half that price (if I were selling that is).

Uh oh, I've got serious GAS for one of those right now. I could be in trouble if you bring that one over in a couple of weeks time......
