P-Bass, Red, '78/79

Is this really worth the BIN price of £1600+ ?

If so I'm sitting on a gold mine because mines identical except for being in much better condition.

It's a sort of trans-red, which I gather is quite rare for the time period. Can't be seen well in his pics but I'll post mine if there's any interest.

I'd say no, but i guess the market will decide.

Problem is, if this sells, the bloke who's after a late 70's trans red is no longer in the market for one, soif you want to sell yours, put in on ebay now a couple of hundred cheaper than his!

I own a 1978 bass and that's absolute top dollar price for a musuem piece that's 100% all original. It looks ok but I think it's over priced. There are a few fairly large scuffs, non original case etc. I'd like to see pics inside, a bit more of it's history (I know he's had it 15yrs) etc. Mine came with the original receipt, paperwork, original strings etc and I paid less than that - only last month.

Thanks guys. You've pretty much confirmed what I thought. Not really thinking of selling mine, but if I knew it was worth £1800-odd I might change my mind
