yorks5stringer Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 They say a picture tells a 1000 words:in this case it has to! Quote
Roland Rock Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I'd have thought that this would be right up Mr Discreet's street. Quote
smaz Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 The S7 serial number makes this a '78 according to the gender website. Without photos of the neck / pits etc though, hard to tell! Quote
ras52 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) It's a slightly more roadworn version of my old warhorse ("white"/maple).... looks authentic from what's visible. Expect to go for around £1K? Edited October 7, 2014 by ras52 Quote
spacey Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Prices are on their backside at the moment as skint folk look to off load those keepsakes. This has knocked the market back a fair bit in the dash for cash. Quote
Roland Rock Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 £830 in the end - probably about right based on the crap listing. Hopefully it's all original and good and someone got a bargain. Then again it could weigh 16lbs :-D Quote
spacey Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 They were stupid heavy in that period, almost to the point a gigs worth leaves you with back ache. Price about right, they did get a bit over inflated last year and are falling back in to line Quote
solo4652 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 The neck pocket looks like a handy place to keep your supermarket trolley pound coin. Quote
Telebass Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 They weren't ALL heavy back then. Mine was entirely ok weight wise, about 9lb. But why oh why does anyone put the strings on the tuners like that? Makes me wince just looking at the pictures! Quote
Grangur Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Looking at the other items the seller has up on the bay, it looks like it's a "crack-converter"... all very sad. Quote

[/quote] First thing I noticed. Best thing to do would be to yank it upwards & bung your quid in the other side - that might help sort out the trademark 70s Fender wonky string alignment... Jon.

Ouch! Quote
