How much would you pay for...

What kind of fender jazz? (Mim, MIA, MIJ, etc.)

 

I'd pay the the price for the Jazz plus $5 for a can of goof off.

 

now thats funny

 

Is that the store that has all the posters signed by people? Last time I was there (for a Clutch concert at the House of Blues) there was a guitar signed by Jimi Hendrix, one signed by The Beatles, a huge things of signatures from every single one of the presidents and a life size Terminator thing. A cool store fo' sho'.

 

won't pay much

 

Now if the $12K came with a year's worth of private lessons by them, say one a day from each for a solid month (except Jaco of course) we'd be talkin'.

 

I think $12,000 is a bit high for a signed off the shelf Fender Jazz.

 

If it had been owned by one of them, maybe.

It would be a cool item, but I wouldn't pay more than $1000, as is.

 

I'd give someone $10. That's about it.

 

I almost dropped $1200 for a Geddy Jazz signed by all of Rush. After I realized that I would be paying about $500 for a pickguard with a few autographs, I came to my senses and bought a new Geddy for $700 or so.

If it was played by one of the musicians, I would be interested. By at 12k? Wow.

I would be interested in how they got all of these guys to sign it considering Jaco has been dead for 20 years.

 

I'd carefully scrape about 2mm of the finish off from under the signatures and remove the pickguard, then put them on a bass worth having.

So $0, the cost of a new bass, and a court sentence for vandalism.

 

+++1 on the goof off, although that might mess up the finish.

I once asked Kurt Vonnegut for an autograph and he said "Why?" After a great 45 minute talk (on a plane) we exchanged autographs (his idea, not that I'm known). I've never wanted another one since it couldn't beat that experience.

sadly, autograph was stolen....but I have the memory!

 

i found a lucky one its a Fender USA P Bass color Robins egg Blue for 600$. let me tell you how i got it. i went to guitarcenter and tryin to look for a good Fender USA but they whare too much money and i said i wish i can find one for alease 600$ thats the most i can put up then one day i went to guitarcenter i was sitten down on the chair playin the 1200$ fender bass right wen i was playing the bass i look up and i saw the Bass that i want it the USA for 600$ i thank God so much it was a gift from him.

 

I'd pay about 20% less than what ever market value would be for the bass in "as new" condition.

Sorry, Autographs de-value the instrument IMO.

Basses were meant to be played. Want an autograph? Sign an album cover, C.D. sleeve, or a photograph or something. Don't deface a usefull instrument. Just my opinion.

 

And this is relevant...how?
