Bravewood Fender 1961 Jazz

Hi,
I need to get this insured really and I was wondering if anyone knows how much these things are worth? I mean obviously to me its priceless! But in reality if someone robbed it, Id be gutted!!

Here are a few pictures.. I think they mightve been taken before the decal on the headstock was added.

I'd suggest you [[email protected]]email[/email] John direct and ask him how much it would cost to build a replacement.

About 3 years ago John was charging around £1250 for this type of instrument

Hope this helps

The price now would be £1,499 for a bass like that from John

No 1 to pursue a claim the insurer will expect a receipt for the purchase price
Like you have been told contact the builder an get an estimate/quote of a like for like instrument and then insure against it.
I would imagine its like around £1500 today

Hmm, wonder how much mine would cost today then? The first fretless "Jaco" bass John ever built? :brow:

Lizzie!!

That's my old stacker!! Considering John's not doing an awful lot these days, I'd go £2.3K+. Remember to have it down as a 'specific item' on your home insurance, too, and make sure it's covered for gigs, though I doubt your home insurer would entertain that aspect.

Hope you're still enjoying her.
