Is this a good deal?

[Joshuadriller]

I found a 1977 American p-bass for $375. Do you guys think that's a good deal? I played it, all the electronics were fine it was very dirty and had a few dings on the body

 

[jim777]

yeah, buy it right this second if you can confirm the USA /1977 bit. And I mean go - leave your house and go get it.

That's a great deal, providing it really is a '77 Pbass. Most Pbasses priced like that are Chinese copies with a 70's decal. Post photos before you buy.

 

[Joshuadriller]

Yeah it's American. It's the one that's Faded yellow and has a maple fretboard

It's the one that's Faded yellow and has a maple fretboard

OH..... that one!!

 

[Joshuadriller]

OH..... that one!!

Is it good to go?

 

[purfektstranger]

There's an old saying...if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is. If it is a 77 then it typically sells for around around 4 to 5 times that price.

Let me know if you don't want it.

More pics on the way

I was just joking a bit. I have not seen the bass you are looking at. Do you have a link?

 

[Joshuadriller]

Sorry the other pics won't upload. I'll keep trying though

 

[brndn123]

At that price point, if it has a working truss rod and plays well, I would pick it up regardless of its authenticity. Then again...I haven't seen the front. Black pg?

How does it look to you?

Your guitar was made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USA
in the Years: 1977 - 1978.

According to the serial number.

I'm not a Fender expert, but it looks reasonably authentic from those pics. At $350 I'd take a chance on it as long as it plays/sounds good.

The photos needed are those of the front of the bass.

*edit - ah, ok, you're working on it. Carry on.

If it is all legit, then yes it is a very good deal.

 

[spaz21387]

Id buy it...

 

[Bass2daMix]

Don't buy it. Just tell me where you found it so I can buy it. lol

 

[rtslinger]

Yup snatch it up fast!
