Jase Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Always fancied a maple fretless, well over priced but still nice to look at [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-PRECISION-BASS-1976-77-FRETLESS_W0QQitemZ150215082091QQihZ005QQcategoryZ20987QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-PRECISION-BAS...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-USA-Fretless-Precision-Bass-1978_W0QQitemZ150213260411QQihZ005QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-USA-Fretless-...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] Edited February 12, 2008 by Jase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwbassman Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Maple fretless - that makes two of us If you think these are overpriced, how much what would you pay for one? I've recently seen a few mid/late 70's fenders on eBay going for between £700 and £1000... I generally agree that the prices seem a bit to high and I'd find it hard to justify spending £1000 on one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 That 'burst is nice, but it is overpriced and the pickguard is a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwbassman Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Interesting, I guess at the end of the day they are only worth what somebody will pay for them Reason for asking is that I've been looking (on and off) for a 1976 bass - but only due to sad fact it would be as old as I am, which I think would be quite cool - that said I'm not prepared to pay over the odds for one...
