But then I'm quite sure he's never heard of me, either. I don't get why you'd buy a bass on the strength of it being previously owned by a 'celeb'. What possibly difference can it make?

[/quote] It is an exclusivity thing i suppose. It also depends on the celeb. I doubt the fact that it was owned by a person i have never heard of, let alone the band would make me pay a premium. However, a Fender used by James Jamerson would probably be different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand about him and his bass, it would be practically unplayable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] In this particular case I think it gives you a Fender Custom Shop bass without having to sit on the waiting list. I would only buy a used celebrity bass if it was on a track I loved or from a player I loved... this meets neither quotient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
