Nicely grained Ash Body. Laser straight neck with incredible playability. Nice rich deep tone. Pro played by a woman bassist who bought it new in '56. Picture of her with bass is included. Truly an amazing bass for the most discriminating of players. 100% untouched original with virtually no fret wear. Pot dates are 10th week of 56[/color][/i] [attachment=74249:p2_uchb5e4ga_so.jpg] [attachment=74250:p1_u31w1lzit_so.jpg] [attachment=74251:p3_uvrzxvpib_so.jpg] [attachment=74252:p4_ux4kd4ilv_so.jpg] [attachment=74253:p5_ur5qgnuh2_so.jpg] In my case, it turns out to bear an astonishing resemblance to $17,495.

Ian Savage Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 As a child of the 80s, mine is likely to be considerably cheaper yet considerably more tasteless. This would probably be typical: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1980-B-C-Rich-Mockingbird-Bass-Rare-Violet-Pearl-/200524923351?pt=Guitar&hash=item2eb03781d7"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1980-B-C-Rich-Mockin...=item2eb03781d7[/url] although I'd happily jump this one's bones: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RICKENBACKER-4001S-BASS-NATURAL-1980-MINT-CONDITION-/180633081581?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a0e9216ed"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RICKENBACKER-4001S-B...=item2a0e9216ed[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Or you could buy 200 Sue Ryders ... Re: Clarky's Quest - The Movie, can I be played by Johnny Depp or the dude that played Aragorn (wearing a grey wig of course) then there might be a bit more action in the Clarky household Edited March 8, 2011 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRBboy Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Just googled '1981 bass guitar', and this came upward being first released in 1981.

Muzz Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I've never seen the only thing I'd completely bust the bank for - an Apr 64 Precision with a maple board. Not even sure such a thing exists... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 1960. There's a couple of things I might be interested in from Mosrite and maybe an original shape Gibson EB0, but since everything I play these days requires 5-sting basses there's nothing from 1960 that I'd actually use.

Mine is this way round:[/quote] Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it looks better the "wrong" way round. Got grief for that when I sold my 51 RI. It's cruel that if you're born after 1980 you can get a birth year bass reasonably cheap, but can't justify it due to student debt, mortgage, family, while those of us who are past all that can't afford it because the good ones are so horribly expensive.

Gust0o Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 1981, thus revealing my relative youth! It would have to be this, for me - rocky; pointy; laden with gadgetry I'll never understand - a bit like most of my life, to-date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
