Bet dusty is laughing… his bass and his house are for sale.
You would be wrong. Clearly Dusty Hill's bass lol
I can think of a couple others
Jamerson original 1961 P bass
Paul McCartneys original hofner bass
Geddy's #1 jazz
Chris Squires 1999RM
There are collectors that would pay money we struggle to fathom
"What is humor?" The TB member cried for attention in his misunderstanding...
Mann if it was only a 5 string I’d be all over it…
What? Without a hard shell case? Sheesh! 
My engineer nerd brain read the title as $394.00 with the last zero being a typo, and I thought $394 is too much for any Fender P.
Ha, everybody's heads were spinning when it was at 80K a few days ago...
Good for Dusty's family
It was his pride and joy, but he's gone now, RIP.
Maybe, have a little respect here, huh

Nah, the Rev got it down to 70 bucks, with the tweed case.
This is legend, dude!
That bass was 20-25 years old when Dusty bought it.
so like a 1998-2003 if compared in years in our current time

Same here. I figured the "Precision" part was chopping pennies into tenths for accuracy. I once paid $100 for a P-Bass clone that was worth every penny. Theoretically, a Fender might be worth $350.
It should include being sent out on a private jet and hand delivered by Gene Simmons!
I'm pretty sure it's the "Dusty Hill" part and not the "Precision" part that explains the price.
Forget about a bag of candy. That thing should come with a Golden Ticket to the Wonka factory.
When I see instruments like that, I always have mixed instruments. I think even if I was a billionaire, I would not feel comfortable buying one of these. But I also don't think these should be part of some sort of museum. I think ideally instruments like this should be bought by someone who will regularly play them to big audiences.
I know that Joe Bonamassa is disliked and hated by many for playing old famous instruments, but I cannot imagine a better use for these relics. I would be most comfortable if they just kept on living being played, even if Dusty didn't play many of his old ones for decades either...

Agreed! They are meant to make music, not gather dust!
