I keep looking at it and thinking/hoping it is a wrong un but for peace of mind I dare say a couple hundred for a plane ticket would be justified.

That must be the one Leo Fender rolled up his sleeves and made personally for Bill Wyman who then made those 12 Stones albums on.

Wonder if they'd knock a couple of quid off because of the busted pickguard?

[Clarky]

Sorry to spoil the fun, but he has changed the price to £5,100

Still at least he's cut the price by 90%, errrr

[EssentialTension]

Seller appears to have dropped the price from £51,000 to £5,100. Bargain.

[The Bass Doc]

The seller is not used to our earth currencies yet. Observe pic no.8 - he's a pointy-headed alien with strange google eyes.

Couldn't help but notice the fingerboard wasn't slab. Is this typical for a '61?

Our friend has lots of history, a lot of it focused on one particular long running incident with a CAR jazz but if you search either his ebay user-name or '2-gnome-attic' you'll find some stuff.

My sister is stuck in Las Vegas just now cos of the flight ban and is getting bored.
Trouble is she knows nothing about vintage Fender basses! Then again i don't know anything about assassinating foreign dignitaries.
