Mr Fudge Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I had only been on Bass Chat a few days when WOTs 73 Jazz came up. It is a massive regret I didn't follow my heart at the time and buyt it . Sorry to rub it in WOT, but definately the best bass my eyes have seen on BC or anywhere else for that matter. To add insult to injury Im off to see Neil Young tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 A little bump... ..and as bait, here's a clip of it in use last Sunday. Strings are 7-year-old Labellas(!) Don't laugh at me forgetting to switch my amp on at the beginning. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesso Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Just out of interest, how much is this bass worth? Ive been looking at a very similar 73 P bass that I'm considering buying. Identical but with a rosewood fretboard. The price is starting at €3000. Is that a bit steep? Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be able to barter down to that. I might add that I'm looking at this bass in a shop, not a private individual, so I would expect the price to be a bit high....

bigthumb Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I guess sunbursts are more desirable (I'd love one) but I got my black one for a bargain by comparison. I wish I had something to trade... its stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just see it can't you? [/quote] That looks like my old one. Went to the guy from 100 Reasons via the Gallery then I think appeared on ebay again. Is it a '91? I can't remember the serial number. By far the best of the 2 Dolphin Pro 1s I've had (the 2nd was a '96). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that it is your bass (though it is a 91), as I bought it about 15 years ago and kept it till it was sold to Canada last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent some time in Dublin aroun 2006/7, and the only shop I can think of that might stock something like this is that shop that faces onto the Liffey, from the north side, just around the corner from O'Connell St. If it's there, then I can guarantee that the price is way too high.

Really cool shop and very nice staff. Some great gear in there. www.jimismusicstore.ie The bass I was looking at (I'm just looking, I don't think I can afford it right now!) is at the end of all the vintage guitars section.

fretmeister Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'm not buying - but what is the going rate for a 73 P bass? 73 is the year of my birth and I always fancied a bass from then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
