Anyway, there aren't very many of these around - especially not ones with "knecks". Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor_of_the_bass Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Allo! Velly intellesting! There were only 16 `Stratas' ever made - I had #16 - said bass now resides in Switzerland with Andre! The particular example on Ebay was on sale a year or so ago - shame about the stickers!

Rich Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Stickers come off easy enough though. It could be worse... could have been a, errm, custom paint job or worse yet, a hacked-about chisel victim. It's a peach, I'd love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 It's great , isn't it. Bet they're into fits over on www.statii.com I wouldn't worry about stickers too much - they come off. I had a vintage 60's Jazz that had been wasted with penknives and cig ends. The timeless phrase 'Your Mabel's m*nge box' was scratched deep into the front. Not much I could do to that beyond a value destroying re-finish so I sold it on for vast profit through V+R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Looks like Mr Prince got it then? I think that bass has been on Ebay before, I definitely remember that amazing back wood. Last Strata I played was a fretless in the Bass Centre which had a badly warped neck. Nice piece of history though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
