He had a full web site set up just for the sale. I checked my bookmarks and the site is gone now.
I love his answers to the stupid questions.
If you don't like his price, don't buy it.
If I hit the lotto I would snap it up in a heartbeat.

I get the impression that this guy really does not want to sell it just flant it. IMO anyone who paid that kind of money for this bass should have their head examined.

Because I would like to have one. (I did say IF I won the lottery) It is less than the price of a nice sports car. Heck, I have motorcycles that cost more than that.
Like he said, IF you can find one for under 50K buy it.
I have been searching for them for a couple of years now. I can not even find out how many were made.
Do you know what John's bass sold for after his death? That one is a drop in the bucket compared to what his sold for.

When I was in L.A. in the late 80's going to B.I.T. the Bass Centre had a few of his basses on consignment. It seemed that John got himself into some financial trouble and was selling some of his collection. This was according to Chris Maury one of the owners fo the Bass Centre. They were'nt priced too badly either. If I had the $$ I would have bought his P bass that was there. But I was a student and was basically broke.

I don't have the money to buy it anyway. I was just saying that if I did I would buy it.

Actually, you still shouldn't be concerned. You should just be laughing to yourself.
