TheGreek Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 What would it be worth if it hadn't been owned by God??? Quote
Bassassin Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1420293625' post='2647623'] What would it be worth if it hadn't been owned by God??? [/quote] £600. [url="http://eastwoodguitars.co.uk/eub-1-black/"]http://eastwoodguita...uk/eub-1-black/[/url] So used (& a bit grimy) that'd be what - £350 - £400? Jon. Edited January 3, 2015 by Bassassin Quote
TheGreek Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Finally sold for £2957 - shows that Mick is still highly regarded. Quote
Bassassin Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Or that the world is full of very stupid people with far too much money. Which is a good thing, if you can find one. J. Quote

[/quote] Really the only instruments owned by Mick Karn that would be worth buying from a collector's PoV are the Travis Bean he used for most of his work with Japan and the 81 Wal that replaced it.

Annoying Twit Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Given that Mick didn't get the credit nor money that he deserved from his work with Japan, I'm not too displeased to see his estate benefitting in this way. Quote
