Jeez. I wonder how it got those finish cracks? :) The BIN was originally $1900.

Nothing like a few photo's taken in a cold outdoor setting either!

I guess the seller doesn't really care at any more.

When I first looked at it, it had a BIN of $1300, then moments later, $1095 or BO. Nuts.

Generous of the seller to include the original tuners and one strap button! :shock: :evil:

Ah, now we're seeing the rest; he's parting it out, selling the bits individually on the bay. Don't do us any favors, fella.

My favorite part....
Finish as I said bit rough but some or most bass player like that.

Some, or most bass players LIKE a bass with a bad looking finish? Um....no, not really.

There was a time, not that long ago, when I was debating a '75 AzureGlo on Ebay with a BIN of $650. When an 80's BODY goes for THAT, then things have really gone mad.

I was just taking a look at this auction. I hope nobody pays 20% of that.

seller is a bit whacko if you ask me he gives a serial number but does not include the jackplate in the auction seems to be a few periods short of a full paragraph i think hes out of touch with real prices not to mention we can all see the reason that there is finish checking that some bass players like to according to him its the snow stupid
