PauBass Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hello guys! It's been a while since I decided to go after a 70's Fender P bass but haven't found the right one yet. Now I have seen a '73 Fender that is selling for £1300, it's all 100% original/genuine, no parts have been replaced and the finish it's the original... What do you think of the price? Thanks!

martthebass Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 You could nearly get 2 new ones for that.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 It's on the high side, but not massively unreasonable. Without more info it's difficult to tell (i.e. how good is it?) but I'd go for £1100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, after a few experiences with people claiming to sell original vintage Fender Basses and then turning out to have been refinished, parts replaced... not sure if this is right move. I don't know but right now I'm thinking that maybe, it would be better to buy it directly from a well known shop... Yes, you end up paying a bit more money but if anything goes wrong you've got their support. Here is the link: [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/fenderpbass73.html"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/fenderpbass73.html[/url] As you can see it's not in great condition but it has been out there being played for 34 years!

thumbo Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 My 74' P-bass cost me £1200. At the time there were several other P-basses of this kind of era on ebay going for less than £1000. When I played the P-bass that I have now I knew that it was worth the money. I wasn't even in the market for a P-bass at the time and up until then I'd never actually played one that I liked. I think that if you can go and have a good play on that one in the Gallery and it feels good to you then go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
