1961 Fender Precision Bass (Ex-Entwhistle?)

[Doctor J]

While the price is quite revolting, the most offensive part is referring to the Brazilian 'slapboard'.

 

Thumbs down to this kind of thing.

The '61 was really not a good one! Still, it only cost £575.

€25k?

 

Really?

I don’t think Steve will be paying that to get it back somehow.

Yes. That's the one.

The '53 found its way into the Haynes manual.

I wonder if it's in Detlef's book? Must look later. Or if anyone else has it?

Now that's provenance! The note is probably worth as much as the bass.

adverts.ie has a proper Basses category, which makes me wonder why this is filed under "Other Guitars"? That's probably why I didn't see this before.

 

There's some interesting stuff in the main Basses category e.g. someone from the Dublin area just posted a nice-looking Sandberg California. I don't know what shipping costs to the UK are like at the moment, and some sellers won't ship. You can buy a bass its own seat on a Ryanair flight, which is probably cheaper than shipping, and have a weekend in Dublin or Cork while you're at it.
