Just like the one I bought new in 1973 & was my main gigging bass until marriage did us part! I never expected to find one on ebay

So enormous sentimental value but I really have all I need

Thats cheap as chips
have a punt

Had a lefty one a few years ago. Played ok and the pickups are fanatastic. IMO i wouldn't pay much more than the current bidding price (about £65), maybe upto a £100.

But... but.... but.... it's not a Precision.

Pity it's only got one then.

apart from, the silly ashtray it looks lovely and well made.

Bit like a Shergold. Cheap as chips and very retro but if they are your thing- Priceless!

Go for it I say!

I'm not sure I can actually remember a lot about them 70's, I'm sure I was there but _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - there seems to be a lot of gaps - though sentimental I am
I went to every shop in 'that London' trying Ricks, I had saved up £400 somehow, all the Ricks were crap & then I found the Gherson, it was instant love!
I still begrudge having to get rid of it, strangely - shortly after the wedding (November 75) & the HiWatts & the monster Orange 2x18. If I knew then!

Yeah - very true

So - What's it worth?

[Cat Burrito]

I think such things are worth as much as people want to pay for them - sorry not too helpful. I own an Antoria 1971 Jazz bass that I paid £250 for they occasionally go for a lot less. My view is that the Gherson obviously has a sentimental value which can impact on value but I'd guess a figure of anything under £200 and you are doing well. Who knows it may stay around that figure in the current listing? Fingers crossed for you

[Bassassin]

It's lovely - you really don't see too much TallyCrap, in fact this is only the second Gherson Jazz I remember seeing in many years of daily Ebay-scouring. I'd strongly encourage you to go for it - you won't see another for a long time.
