Happy Jack Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yes, but that's an outrageous starting price! I doubt he'd get near that if it was a fretted bass, for a fretless it seems even less likely. More photos wouldn't be a bad idea either.

ash Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I agree too pricey, I've seen them go for around half that before the recession! They did a laminate version too - very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapscallion Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I sold mine for £110 I think. Nice bass actually, I just didnt have the inclination to set it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I bought mine from Psychoandy of this parish for (I think) £150.

[IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Basses%20CURRENT/Maya%20Precision%201970s%20CURRENT/CIMG1256.jpg[/IMG] It's now one of the nicest-sounding P-basses I've had, and the Maya headstock means that I can play it at jam sessions and rough gigs without worring about theft or damage.

Nibody Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I have a Maya. Rather good quality, nice 60's profile neck. Price is a bit high though on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Is that Carlos Santana or Bobby Ball behind you in the pic Jack? Edited November 13, 2012 by ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabbs Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) I had a maple fretted version in the late 70's early 80's with tortoise shell scratchplate, traded to a 2nd hand store next to general dealer in Glasgow for £40 in 1984, purchased new from Wilkinsons in Airdrie in about 1978 / 79 for £170. God do I regret that decision. Edited November 16, 2012 by Shabbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm gonna tell Rick that you said that. I've seen photos of him on his wedding day in 1986. He looked exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
