Toasted Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 If I had a spare £17K I'd definitely buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Seems reasonable. Bear in mind, auctions like this aren't aimed at the likes of you and me. As Toasted says, if I had a bit of spare dough in my pocket (okay - a shedload of spare dough), I'd fly out there, go over it with a fine-tooth comb and, if satisfied, hand over the cash.

bassedsouth Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 That I one of the few original first P basses out there for sale / an investment like this will appreciate forever / a real classic should sell fast .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I like the look of that T-Bird. Almost affordable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I've never even seen anything as old as this , let alone play it. I'd dearly love to - just to get a feel of something that was around at the start of something that became so important to me years on and has proved to be a life interest. A museum piece then - from a collector standpoint , a sound investment - but I'm not a collector , I'm a player. No way I'd ever buy anything at this sort of money.
