Looks nice! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fender-70s-Clas ... 1835338885

Yikes

It looks like a legit 3 bolt 70's block jazz bass put on a custom made body. The cream pickup looks like a DiMarzio P. All in all for the neck, pickups and badass bridge it could be a deal if you get it cheap and if the neck is straight. ($400 max). I predict some EBay hack is going to buy it and sell it for parts. In a month this very same neck will be listed for $900 on the bay.

It's from Detroit - I wonder if it did the rounds in some of the legendary garage rock bands of the area.

I'm gonna try and win this sucker. It's oozing with punk rock goodness.

Rare indeed, but more than a 2X premium vs. righty? A period left Jazz or P sells for a % change (20%, 30%), not a multiple (2.2X), right?

Does that seem like the right spread for this?

Or is the seller trying to "re-make the market" off the one $2,600 comp?

As a collector of many things, indeed, one comp can move a market. But, sometimes and outlier is just and outlier.

What does this board think the "right" price is for this?

It it really worth what I paid for my last two '74 Jazz basses in Olympic and Trans white?

Back then, it certainly was not. Maybe 1/2 the price new?

-JA

But as I type this, the bids are only at $202

Since bigevilrobot is on, I think I lost the opportunity to snap a poor's man Fender...

If only for that neck

God almighty. $1025.

I tapped out at 600.

Considering there is no way that's an original body, I really think someone just overpaid for a 70s Jazz neck.

Agreed.

Yeah I agree too. That body is a disaster in every way imaginable.

18 minutes and it was at 200 something... than it jumped to the 1000's... somebody really wanted that bass!

$1,025.00

WOW!!!!

dumb...

(no offense if it was somebody here. Well....)

Yeah, that was silly.

I have a feeling it is dealer and the parts will be for sale on Ebay soon.

Nothing pisses me off more than seeing a perfectly good bass stripped of parts and parted out.... grrrrr
You know it when you see every part being sold separately...

This bass - no problem...
