Hi
I've got a nice Framus Star Bass (5-150 I think) that I bought at the end of the eighties and which hasn't seen any real action for about 15 years or so now, so I'm wondering what the current value might be, as I'm looking out for a back up bass to my '76 Jazz and, predictably, need some readies.
When I bought it (from Andy's on Denmark Street) in about '89, I recall they told me it dated from 1965, but I've not been able to verify that. One of the machine heads is a replacement and not the original Framus one, the neck pick up has a couple of screws missing and, generally, the old thing could do with a little TLC. The body has a few dings, but not bad for a guitar of this age. There's no case.
But all in all, a lovely bass for someone who fancies a small restoration job!
So, any thoughts on value would be welcome, or indeed recommendations of good vintage guitar specialists who might take it as?
Thanks
