Jerry Garcia's Travis Bean guitar for sale on the EvilBay. Comes with amp, strap, jacket and Jerry's top hat. 
Now, if I only had $325,000 I could buy it now.  http://cgi.ebay.com/1976-Travis-Bean...item230a5335d9

And it makes sense that the guitar could have ended up with Parish. I don't see why the Dead would be selling guitars though. Or why someone would use Ebay for something like this. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Iowa | | | so some guy in south carolina got it from steve parish? this seems a little weird.
when i was recording with my last dead band in california before i moved here, the bass player, who had the studio, pulled one of those out for a track i was doing. he told me a strange story about how he got the guitar that basically ended with his "figuring out" that it was one of jerry's. i guess any old, travis bean gtr probly has a hopeful story attached to it. i couldn't get used to the neck and ended up using a strat.
where is rosebud anyway?

I got a message from Bob Matthews a while back looking for info on his TB bass, which IIRC Jerry had given him way back when. He wasn't looking to sell it, but for some reason he thought I might know where Jerry got it from. Even Beans with no celebrity connection seem to be going for fairly big numbers these days. |

| | One lab accident away from being a supervillain | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Powder Springs, Ga | | | Hmm . . . instead of polling, why don't we pool. There's 4 of us so far interested in the tiger. I've got $5 on it. Who else is in? We can set up a time-share.

Fortunately I don't have enough extra stuff to sell off to finance either one, so at least I'm saved from Jerry guitar buying GAS
