Paddy515 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) NBD - Picked up in a saleroom today held at a local cricket club together with a Kasugu "you know what" copy. Couldn't beleive my eyes when I went to viewing yesterday evening.Didn't look like this when in the saleroom mind otherwise it may have gone for a lot more than £70!!! Feels nice in the hands and as if its about to float away any second!!! Will post a piccy of the Kasugu if the admins advise me its OK to do so.

Paddy515 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Added - sorry if against rules!! Cost all of £40 - something of a bargain I would say!! Paddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hell of a good score on both! Our local guitar shop hap one of those Antoria EB-2 copies back in the late '70's, which I lusted after as a spotty but penniless 16 year old. I attempted a straight swap for my Kalmazoo KB1 bass, to which the response was a pitying smile and a reply to the effect of "run along, sonny". The KB1 would probably be worth around £300 or so today (the less common Mustang copy type - cost me all of £20) Enjoy those two - Jap (?) but far from cr@p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy515 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Thanks Shaggy - both need some fettling but will be well worth doing in the end. The Kasuga takes me back to '79 when I had a Shaftesbury in blonde. Think the quality will be superior with this one though Good job 98% of the buyers there yesterday were only after antique furniture and the like. The only other bidder didn't really know what these were!! Paddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madshadows Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 They look like absolute bargains !! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Whew! Both absolute and utter bargains! Why do I never come across such mind-blowing bargains as this? I'm obviously looking in the wrong places The 2nd bass also reminded me of my Shaftesbury Which was in the same colour as yours You lucky bassist!
