$55,000.00 Status Buzzard on ebay

He has been trying to move that bass for more than a year now.
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.
 
:eyebrow:As much as I love Entwistle and Status' basses, it would be a cold day in Hell before I shelled out that kind of money for one. If anyone is nuts enough about either to buy it, good luck, but count me out.
 
Why?
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.

To each his own. I am curious though what did John's bass sell 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.
