That ads been around a while. Definitely not worth the price, and you’d certainly only purchase it from a well known source.

What’s the price 

[dodgnofski]

‘Estimated’ between $25K to $30K apparently!! - Ruddy Heck😳😳🙈🙈

Gruhns examined it, but it has never been taken apart. There is a fight going on in that sentence.

That’s a lot of dollar, $25k works out nearly 20k

That's lovely. Nice weight too.

That does look nice Tony. It’s slightly cheaper than the ‘73 Jazz I bought from them last August too, but I suppose that’s down to the guard. It would be interesting to know if there are holes under the guard for the tug bar in the earlier position.

That's similar to my own 74 Jazz (currently on loan to Rob Harris from Jamiroquai)

That’s lovely, I bet he doesn’t want to give it back 😁

It's done the rounds over the past few years  - Paul Turner  (Jamiroquai) had it for a while, it then was loaned to Brinsley Forde (Aswad), then on to Rob Harris (Jamiroquai).

May I add my name to list for the next turn please? Is it like the pool table at the pub, do I need to put £1 down?

Looks like Essex recording studios bought the entwistle 72

Unsurprisingly their feedback suggests they only sell modern guitars on eBay. Maybe he/she/they collect vintage guitars “for the shop” without real intention of selling, so super inflate the prices.

As long as I’ve known them their prices have been unrealistic, perhaps it’s another way to advertise their studio

You'd have to buy a lot to move the market this way. Whilst vintage fenders are scarce and there is demand, there are enough sellers to make cornering the market difficult. To move the market they need to be close to a monopoly and this isn't a monopoly at the moment. 

 

I'd like to be able to buy enough to move a market though. Sadly I'm no Rotheschild in the oil business

Here is a link to a vintage bass of some merit.

Damm it's a 62.  That's annoying. Really shouldn't have clicked that link.

I’ve never seen a 60’s factory black with matching headstock before. It’s a very cool bass, and waaaaayy out of my league. 

[nilorius]

Well - who cares - buys.

It’s early for a matching headstock, and for a white guard. Jay Rosen is reputable so that looks a very rare beast indeed. Priced sensibly, considering.

But, I could have bought 8 or 9 of these for that money….
