You guys probably remember this...



It's Joe LaBracio's 1960 Fender Jazz that sold on eBay a couple of years ago for $29,000.

Here's a video of the new owner (who claims that he's NOT even a bass player in the video description ) appropriately playing "Opus 17" on it.

Well...

I found this video today, dated fairly recently (09/12/2009), and posted by "VintageSalesInc"... and it's almost like a "sales demo" video of sorts... the website for Vintage Sales, Inc. comes up as being "Under Construction" so I'm not really sure what the deal is.

Hmmmm.... interesting.

Anyone have $29,000 laying around? It's be nice to see this bass get into the hands of someone who at least claims to be a bass player.

Blasphemy!

Has it already been 2 years since that bass sold? Man time flies! Oh, and I don't have 29K to drop on it this week ....

Do you guys think there is ANY way in hell that this guy could recoup his money, if it is indeed for sale?

The used market in general is in utter shambles... and the vintage market is even worse...

Honestly, I think if he could get $20K for it, he'd be lucky.

I would be surprised if he got his money back. He would be better off just locking it up and forgetting about it for 10 years like a vintage bottle of wine.

there's a guy who lives about 3 miles from my house that has a lefty 57 Tele, refinished by RS guitarworks. He wants $25K for it!!! for a refin! To boot it's not quite 100% original, IIRC the tone pot was replaced.

I reckon it's sold already. I enquired about a 1960 Precision Bass he had for sale that the video is still posted for. The owner of "VintageSalesInc" never, ever replies to enquiries or questions so I wouldn't bother asking.
