NancyJohnson Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Christ on a bike. I remember that bass. Blimey. And blimey. Whatever you do, please don't sell it to someone like the Hard Rock Cafe, where it'll just be screwed to a wall somewhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Are they famous? Silly question, I am honestly interested. How do you go about putting a value on something like this? Edited June 5, 2020 by ambient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarlscharisma Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I’ve watched Chairman of the Bored many times on YouTube with that bass. Steeped in Rock n Roll history and linked to the person without whom we might be living in a world without Never Mind the Bollocks and all that came after.

Clarky Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Love everything about this, the design, the backwards tuners, the provenance. I bet there are a ton of us on BC who would snap this up if we could afford it. As others have said, GLWYS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 1 hour ago, ambient said: Are they famous? Silly question, I am honestly interested. How do you go about putting a value on something like this? I spoke with one dealer who said they value instruments based on their intrinsic value (not necessarily who has played it). Taking that into account, EB-Os like this are around £5,000 in the States and very rare. Add the original case and you’re looking at more than the asking price here. Exceptionally rare bass, faultless provenance and I want it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Any FS thread with Sid & Nancy in the pics has to be worth a look..... Lovely bass- if only Gibson has kept this design, rather than changing to the less attractive (IMHO) SG shape. I have a '58 EB-2 with the same Kluson "banjo" tuners and Bakelite pickup. Very cool, very lightweight. As Burns-bass says - worth the asking price even without the history / provenance. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
