merello Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Nearly crying there! A guy brought in a 1971 maple board precision for pawn. He wanted $1000 and they offered $500...then $600...so he walked! They shouted him back and gave him $750. It was in mint condition and had the official orange fur lined G and G hard case. Are you in tears yet too? Not yet? £441 for a 71 original P-bass in a dark red? Well wait. The guy bought it for his dad who had a P-bass 30 years before. They showed a picture. 'This bass is as close as you can get to dad's except dad's was black and had a RW board.' So he gave it to one of the workers who, within a week, had sprayed it black, got a replacement RW neck (from God knows where!) and implanted a number (8?) of silver dollars all over the body! 'Just like dad!' (Just noticed...it was a 2012 show!) http://www.history.com/shows/cajun-pawn-stars/videos/cajun-pawn-stars-knocked-up Edited June 21, 2014 by merello Quote
Raymondo Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Yes saw that earlier in the year....what a waste of a fabulous original bass.....made it look horrible! Quote
Hutton Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 It's your bass so you can do what you like with it. Unfortunately! Quote

It's only a great deal for the shop if the owner doesn't come back. Quote
