Damn.. wonder what the exchange rate on souls is for that? nice nice nice.....

That bass was on CL in Seattle for a while. Nice looker, but it's pretty heavy (according to the seller). I exchanged a few messages with the owner. He's a nice guy, but for the kind of bank he's asking for for that bass he wasn't very proactive about taking pics or providing detailed info.

Maybe it's me, but I have a hard time seeing 1975 and younger basses selling for over $2500.

Are you after an old P bass Matt, or just like this particular one?

Can't afford one now, but I like that one. He needs more pics posted, especially to be charging what he's charging for it. I was just generally lusting over it.

I think my 1975 is nicer and I paid a little over two grand several years ago. I don't know exactly what it weighs but it is by far the lightest bass I own, except for my Rob Allen. It's a 9 out of 10 in condition and sounds great. A true keeper here at camp psycho.

I do like the rosewood board on his though.

Wow, beautiful bass Chuck! It looks like the not beat-to-hell version of my '73.

Here's my '75, which I keep flip flopping on selling or not.

Sold with BIN for $2850! The times they are a changin'. I never thought it would go for that price.

[andrew]

That's insane! Looks like I should take my bass to evil bay!

[andrew]

Kinda figured that sale was too good to be true:

let's see if he has luck finding another buyer for it at that price.

[KingOfAmps]

How much older would you say it should be to warrant the asking price?

[andrew]

Apparently 1975, since someone popped the BIN on the bass again!

Nearly $3000 for a '75 seems pretty steep to me, but I guess the market has spoken. I'd expect early 70's for nearly $3k, and over that for a late 60's P. Looks like the vintage market is jumping faster than I'm paying attention to.

[andrew]

Huh? It's back up again. Maybe scammers keep popping his BIN?
