Thread Resurrection Detlef Schmidt did an Appraisal on my dad's Bass and valued it at $20k could be more or less depending on who was "purchasing" though it is not for sale, Valuing it for insurance purposes...

Thank ya all kindly! They are my toys I have fun with them!

The Pickguard had "Issues" the Screws lined up and it fit at the neck, but the pickup hole was off by a LOT, about an 1/8" in the direction of the neck so it left a bit of a gap, the half circles for the pickup screws were too close together only on the bridge side of the pickup so they left a...

Several years back a co-worker needed some money and asked me to buy his Jazz Bass (Mex) it was Black with White Guard and Rosewood/maple neck... it lived in a Gig Bag for a long time then when I had my house fire, the smoke leaked through the gig bag and stained the headstock a little bit and...

Since it is not a "True" Sunn it is a Fender Sunn.... But what the heck? Had a Fire and when I went to salvage stuff the Grilles were all rusty and the powder coating had bubbled and peeled off. The bottom two speakers in the 410 were ruined the top two were still pretty solid. the 215 was a...

No problem, Security is a lock... Alright, ladies and gentlemen. It takes two people to secure a home: one back stage, and one out front. One man alone cannot do this. Wayne, you will run the backstage team. Milton, you are my liaison between Wayne's backstage team and Garth's front-stage team...

Couple more pics to share... Controls (no markings in cavity) Pickup (not removing the pickup to see any markings there)

Sketchy? Steel Hanger fastened to Concrete wall.... Unlikely to suddenly detach from the wall. But I feel ya. Having had PLENTY of instruments knocked off floor stands onto concrete etc... I guess leaving it in a case is my only other option. I plan to do display cases on the wall but have...

Any WAG on the value of it? I discovered when dealing with insurance after the fire that it would likely not be covered since it was not valued and itemized. Luckily I only lost one instrument in the fire... A jackson Dinky pro. Never really liked that one anyway!

I would love to know more about it. I never saw dad play it and I never played it out any. I bought my own. When I was growing up it sat in the closet and I got yled at if I picked it up. I don't know if there are any pictures of dad playing it anywhere. How do I contact Nacho Banos?

Back story, my dad was a working musician at the time played bass and sang. I have 78 RPM records with my dad's voice on them. He passed away in 1991, I was away in the military and returned home in 98, The Bass was still in the house in the closet, I brought home my gear and guitars, basses...
