Is this expensive or am I missing something?

[SteveXFR]

Is this really worth £45,000?

You'd think something this expensive would have a bit in the description about how amazing it is.

It has.

[rwillett]

There's a lot more in the condition details. Its ex Jack Bruce which explains the high cost.

Relax - it's in Japan.

Oh Gawd. Why is it that an instrument is thought to be worth stupid money because it has dead skin, dried sweat and bogies from somebody famous on it?

It's been typed in the "Condition Details" instead of the item description. Took me a minute to spot it too, not the usual place you'd look for this info. 

 

[SteveXFR]

Well that makes more sense. They really buried that rather important bit of info

Shame it's in Japan, I would have liked to have it to offer as a house bass at the next open mike.

We live in a very strange world.

They have it listed 3 times for 3 different prices too 🤔

You’d think for an instrument that they want that much for that there was a better marketplace than eBay. If it’s really worth that sort of money, which I doubt, then it’s a museum piece, somewhere like the Rock n Roll hall of fame or Hard Rock Cafe.

There's some gear owned by the late John Giblin (who I'm not familiar with) for sale at the Bass Gallery. Included is a Lakland Skyline 55-02 for £3k and a 5 string Mexican jazz bass for almost £2k. Like the OP I may be missing something there.

Knew I’d seen this one before…..

 

Can’t seem to add link so will screenshot.

Wow that's quite the markup from £6k 🫢

[TimR]

It's is most probably a scam.
