Vintage Greco

[kenjikun]

Hi,

I am really fascinated with Greco basses. These were the best Fender, Gibson and Rick copies made by Japanese luthiers before the Fender guys told them to shut down or else.... Then in 1982, because of their outstanding talent, Fender commissioned them to manufacture MIJ Fender. According to my research, the best Greco basses were those made from 1978-1982. In fact the quality was so high that even the Fender representatives from US went "crying" because the Japanese guys were doing what the Fender guys in the US cannot do. So these Greco basses can now be classified as vintage. I don't know about the price of vintage basses made from 1978-1982. I saw one Greco P Bass copy selling for $200. Everything is stock. The serial number says it was made in 1981. I really want to buy it. Should I go?

I'd jump on it before someone else nabs it.


I'm a sucker for vintage.

Yeah, $200 sounds fair.

For $200 you can't go wrong. Greco made some great basses. I don't think they made a bad bass as long as they were in business.

I noticed a few posts regarding Greco Bass Guitars.
I’m a collector 40 yrs of experience plucking away. My “herd” contains just about everything from any era under the Sun.
I picked up my first Greco jazz bass last week, I’m telling you aside from my 62 Fender Jazz and 62 Fender Precision, I’ll stack this Greco up against any Fender Jazz Bass you could throw at me.
They’re THAT GOOD. I am BLOWN AWAY

Hard to go wrong for $200.
I had a Greco Super Beetle bass that was more than equal to any Hofner bass i ever played.
