Mrbigstuff Posted October 1 Posted October 1 An interesting comparison vid for Fender reissues vs vintage: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1BpWRmNVe7/?mibextid=wwXIfr I’m interested to know which of them BCers think sounds best to them. For me it’s the vintage bitsa. Same top end but thicker/ creamier lows 1 Quote

Reggaebass Posted October 1 Author Posted October 1 Just listened with headphones and it’s subtle but the 64 for me, it let me go to his next video with the 3 P basses, the 67 sounds amazing Quote
snorkie635 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Must agree with @Stub Mandrel above. A deaf person running for a bus would be hard-pushed to tell the difference. If I need an oscilloscope to pick between them, the punters down the Maggot and Corpse won't notice either. 2 Quote

Reggaebass Posted October 4 Author Posted October 4 (edited) OASIS - NOEL GALLAGHER'S OWNED AND AUTOGRAPHED SUNBURST FENDER PRECISION, estimated 10k-20k for a 73P, be interesting to see how much it goes for, https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/propstore/catalogue-id-the-pr10049/lot-d6897252-ef72-4ce8-abb0-b36a00f9edf6 Edited October 4 by Reggaebass 1 Quote
Burns-bass Posted October 4 Posted October 4 Appreciate they’re not Fenders but it seems Andy Baxter has decided that vintage Musicmans are now worth £3000 that they were a few months ago. Wish he’d have done that before I sold mine… 🙂 Quote

Stick them up for mental prices and watch the rest of them rise up a few hundred quid in response. The laws of market dynamics don’t really apply when buyers are treated this way.

Wouldn't surprise me. The prices steadily rising is a signal these things are rising and investable commodities and that the demand is healthy. I question both assertions. But I’m old and cynical 1 1 Quote
