If I had the spare cash...

I would be tempted by the BIN price, even though I live in the UK. To me this looks like the perfect gigging bass with loads of vintage mojo.

In one of the shots I reckon Gozdilla is getting very friendly with an output jack!

Don't you love it when a beauty comes on to the market and all you can afford is bread and something out of your garden for dinner?

Sheesh..........!!

That was a very imaginative sequence by our friend there.

Looks like a really sweet bass...

That is a lot of money for a 73 with no vintage stuff on it, pretty run of the mill.

Have you priced a '73 with all the vintage stuff on it? Ouch!

ken_swearingen · Post by **ken_swearingen** » Fri May 06, 2005 9:07 am

The 73 without the vintage stuff usually sit around for a long time i know of a few that haven't sold in years.

Hi Ken, you guys are really lucky. Over here a '73 with Grovers in seemingly near unplayed condition are as rare as rocking horse droppings. the only thing that would have been nice would have been a front toaster, other than that it's a real beauty. In a London store I would expect a price tag of at least £1500.00, about $2900.00 ......!
