Tempting????

[wateroftyne]

mm... 2T burst.

If it's original, that's early for a tort guard - maybe one of the first...

[Ou7shined]

Oooh if only it had a maple fretboad.

[Delberthot]

shouldn't the decal on the headstock look like it had just been stuck on? I didn't think they laquered over them until later years

[spacecowboy]

Thats aloooooot of money!

[MB1]

MB1.
...Nice!...but its not the Nautical Themed Alembic!(as owned by John Entwistle)

[stingrayfan]

Stupid money.

[OldGit]

No mention of Uncle's loft? Must be fake.










But seriously £9000 of bass hung from a machinehead on a bit of string?
Really! Some people!

I saw Greg Lake perform at a small charideeee do a couple of years back and he performed a solo version of 'Lucky Man' (one of my fave songs as a teen back in the pre-punk 70s). His "choir like" voice was still there and I went up to chat to him afterwards, only to be very surprised by his speaking voice which was not a million miles from Ray Winstone's!

30 years of imagining he would sound like something from Brideshead Revisited blown in an instant

Ah It's dangerous to meet your heroes.
I still believe in Father Christmas, though ...

[grumble]

I got a piece of jap plywood that was once owned by Paul Mcartney, or was Phil Lynott ?? Or that guy from Genesis..
Anyways its a bargain at £3000 and I will sue anyone who doubts the veracity.
9K for a bog standard P-Bass ? yuk !!

This is werrry nice, and for a fifty year old Fender none too shabby.
I like it. Luckily. £9k short.

Its been relisted again.
New Kings Rd vintage are always way OTT on their asking prices. Walk in there with 6k and haggle if you really want it.
