Oh my. If this is the real deal as stated, it's in amazing condition. http://nashville.craigslist.org/msd/3874447240.html
That is my idea of perfect. Not to much wear but not mint. 13500 isn't a bad price ether. If I had the cash right now I would be taking a road trip for that.
You know, I always liked two-tone sunburst better than three tone. It captures a very nice woody brown that you just don't get in the three-tone.
That is a really really nice bass. $13.5k - just shows you how the market has adjusted in the last 5 years.
A beautiful bass, and its really awesome that the poster took the effort to post that many high quality pictures as well.
I don't get how the silks on 55yo strings look brand new while my 3 mo Chromes already look like a cat got after them. Imma doing something wrong.
OMG! A year younger than myself and in much better condition... Bass of the year and no mistake. I've downloaded the piccies.
No trades. ..lol what would u offer for starters? Car, boat...lol. I drooled over the pics long enough...
The original strings are not the strings on the bass. The originals are in paper envelopes next to the bass. That bass has been up for very close to a month, unsold at $13.5k. In Nashville of all places. The actual market value must be closer to $10grand? For a '58!
There is almost an identical 58 on reverb nation for 10.5 w/o the gig bag. About the same condition which could probably be had for 9.7 or 9.8...
