Just having a browse and came across this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rickenbacker-bass ... .m14.l1318
The seller seems to think its worth £3000 (about $6000 ish). Any opinions?
Sorry if this has been posed elsewhere

Yes....He's a dreaming scouser.
About 750 GBP in all probability....

I assume Mr Crompton isn't that famous then really? I thought it might have been someone i've not heard of, thats all!

Again........I note the inappropriate use of the term "hen's tooth". Sigh.

I advised him it wasn't a 60s. He was very polite actually.

Yes, your acknowledgement is there for all to see Shaun....Keep up the informative good work!
Just another bloke, like the majority who doesn't know Rickenbackers. It is rare for the UK, but that doesn't always mean huge $$$$....

I was a bit embarrassed by the name check actually; I'd have looked a right plonker if I'd have got it wrong!
