Now is that excellent condition, or excellent condition for something 46 years old? It sure looks a little grimy.

 

[sixway]

Excellent condition? No issues? Time to get off the crack!

 

[Valerus]

Cool, but I'd never buy it.

 

[west*coast*bass]

I'd like to know the verification process for something like that...

I was not surprised it was "tune-o-matic" trying to sell this.

 

[tmusic101]

Well, what do you expect for $365.00 ?!?!?

 

[bassbully]

Thats nuts....real or not.

The only problem is finding matching vintage bridges for my other Fenders -- whichever got this would make the others jealous.

 

[Rickett Customs]

For only a $1 a day in a little over a year, you too can own it.........

carbon dating?

 

[BassChuck]

Wow, someone had a P-Bass on the Titantic?

 

[eots]

Looks like it was left in a damp basement. I got one w/ the threaded saddles lying around in much better shape. Do I hear $1000

 

[Pilgrim]

That's obviously something the Cousteau family found about 30 feet underwater....

 

[crkempton]

"hey Ma! Look what i found in the garden!"

 

[smurfco]

No, no, no - you guys have it all wrong.

It's reliced. So that makes it cool.

Who cares if every screw is seized?

carbon dating?

carbon dating is suitable for measuremeants 500 years and upwars (halflife 5730 years), so this is method would be very unprecise..

No less precise than putting a large price on a POS.

"Damn! Look what I found under the sofa! My fortune is made!!"

I'm sure it was a joke... and a good one too!

Anyway... do you think this guy parted out the original bass? lol

No i don't think so. Personally i dont think its an authentic '61 bridge, secondly, if it is original, i think the bass was left underwater until the wood melted away, leaving this hunk of metal.
