Oh my. If this is the real deal as stated, it's in amazing condition.

That's absurdly gorgeous.

 

[hdracer]

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.

 

[Ewo]

A rare bird indeed, to have survived intact...

 

[philpm]

A beautiful bass, and its really awesome that the poster took the effort to post that many high quality pictures as well.

 

[The Bass Clef]

Just beautiful. I'd be surprised from the pics and the description if this wasn't 100% legit.

 

[Herbie Chesnutt]

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.

 

[Waynebass]

he never said how old the strings where,they could be fresh

 

[bh2]

OMG! A year younger than myself and in much better condition...

Bass of the year and no mistake.

I've downloaded the piccies.

 

[TolerancEJ]

Wow, a really nice piece! The seller knows their subject matter very well.

 

[nikolozj]

Is it me or is it that 1st and 2nd strings are flat and 3rd and 4th round?

 

[Mastermold]

Wow! Beauty!

 

[Salamenster]

THE ORIGINAL STRINGS?!!!! DAYUM! That must be some DARN THUMPY 55 year old flats!

 

[jamminology101]

No trades. ..lol what would u offer for starters? Car, boat...lol. I drooled over the pics long enough...

 

[smcd]

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!

"the original gig bag"


I had no idea they originally came in gig bags way back then. Is that true?

 

[jamminology101]

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...

Let me wipe the drool off my chin.
