If you make me an offer I'd certainly consider it, The chap it the guitar shop I mentioned, I think he said would give me around £275-£300 for it, although that was without him knowing about the problem with the jack (I realise this isn't a major problem, but it still brings the cost down some).

Hi folks.. I've found my old Bass in the garage and am trying to unearth some details about it. I might sell it as I no longer use it so knowing the details would be useful. From what I can deduce from searching the Web, it's probably a Epiphone ET 280 from around 1975, but I can't be sure as there seems to be a few similar looking models from around this same era, and I don't know if it was built in Japan or not, I can't find any info as to where it was built. The person I bought it from said he bought it in Birmingham, UK around about 1979, this is all I know about it. It's taken a few knocks (mostly from before I owned it), and I recall there being a slight problem with it cutting out whenever I moved too much (most likely a problem with the output jack) and also the bridge plate is missing (probably gone forever). Plus, any idea how much I should ask for it? I've been made aware by my local guitar shop owner that he'd like it as part of his personal collection but I'm not so sure he'd offer me a good price as, I'm told, he can be a bit slick. I'm kicking myself that I didn't look after it a bit more, but it's too late for that now. I'm uploading a couple of photos so you can take a look and tell me what you think if you like. I'd be grateful for any information or tips that might be usable. Thanks very much, and rock on.
