I would, but I promised our lass I'd go to the chippy for tea tonight, so I haven't quite got enough cash.

Its stunning. I'm in love!

It only fuels my GAS for a '57 reissue.

Give her a bloater paste sandwich; that'll keep her happy and you can use the change for the Preccy!

Lovely innit!

I'd love to have a go on one but I guess it'll be a long time before I even see one in a shop 'round here.

Dunno? (waits for punch-line)

[wesfinn]

OH MY!!!! I want it...i want it....what can i sell??

[Cat Burrito]

Don't forget the import taxes on top of the buying price and postage

[Dread Bass]

Wow that is in good condition. What does it mean when it says its Olympic white over sunburst? Was this standard practice?

[Tinman]

Wow, just think of how many new ones you could get for that money

[tredders]

Imagine paying all that money, and it played like a dog!

For £16k I think the 82-word description of the instrument and its provenance is a bit brief.

It's from Norm's private collection. I think the seller (Norm, probably) knows he doesn't really have to bust a gut to prove it's legit.

TBH, I think the assumption is that the winning bidder will be in the US and will spend a few quid on a plane ticket to pick it up.

Some people are just never satisfied, eh? Isn't it enough to know that:

I find that totally reassuring.

Over in America you could buy a new V8 Mustang for that amount of $!

Gorgeous fingerboard, massive fret wire though.

Yeah that's what i thought but it's just the way the Americans pronounce the word "solder" so i suppose he's just spelling it phonetically. Still wrong though. What i'd be more worried about is paypaling over nearly $30,000 to a bloke with 11 feedback on ebay. Totally awesome bass though.

Not really being an officianado of old instruments I was struck by the headstock logo as it looks so 'modern'. I assume fender have in recent years simply resurrected what was in fact a very old logo for the newer ones? I tend to associate 'vintage' with the 70's ones that have the block capitals Fender logo. Is there a link somewhere with a time line of when the headstock logos changed in style?

That would explain my confusion. I've never talked to a US citizen about solder, y'see. Or sodomy.

[AndyTravis]

Nice bit of kit...

Still, i'm happy enough with mine not to worry about remortgaging my house...

If the numbers come up on Wednesday or Saturday, maybe i'd go looking.
