Love those paisley basses. Not money I would pay, but price seems to be on par with others that have come up.

 

[AltGrendel]

That's one for the Elvis tribute groups to get.

once again, the bridge cover is on backwards. when someone that owns one of these tele basses takes it off, it's a 50/50 chance that they put it back on correctly, but it seems that more than 50% of them are put back on wrong. it's beautiful bass, but it just hurts me to look at it when they do that.

It doesn't even look right when it's backwards like that...

Sweet bass.

Putting the bridge cover on backwards is practical in that it gets the foam mute under the cover out of the way and the cover is harder to lose.

hmmm... something smells fishy to me tbh

 

[martyman5000]

I saw I guess the newer version at a music store for $600 and I wasn't really keen on the color...to each is own.

Wow. Never would have thought of it being a clever way to disable the mute!

I've got a best-of anthology of Booker T. and the M.G.s tunes, and in the liner notes there's a group photo. Duck Dunn's holding a Tele, or maybe it's one of the early 50s slab-bodied P basses. He joined the group in '64, so the photo can't be older than that.


Anyway, he's got the bridge cover reversed.

Nice bass (for someone who likes paisley - I got more than enough during the 60's) - but the owner moved the decimal point over WAY too far.....

I agree, and I see it all the time. Looks silly.

 

[Meddle]

The price is quite high but it looks authentic. See the lack of discolouration under the pickguard compared to the rest of the body?

 

[bh2]

Looks nice although I hate those covers put on wrong... I thought the '7' plate was 70s?

Here's another (in Nashville):

At least they got the bridge cover correct.

Seller should have thrown in a matching purse to boot

An absolutely absurd price to ask for that. I love it when someone asking too much for an item provides a link to someone else asking too much for their item to give authenticity to their asking price.

 

[The Bass Clef]

I get that they are rare and worth money and all that, but God these basses are hideous. It's like going to a luthier and saying "Can you take this otherwise awesome instrument and paint my Grandma's couch fabric pattern on it?".

That's the market. They were made in extremely limited numbers and for those who have the cash to be a collector they are a great find in good condition like these.
