casapete Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Attended the Leeds show today, and although a bit bass light ( like many of these shows ) there was a great display of vintage Gibsons on offer on one stand, including these ex-celeb examples. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Some luverly bases there (speaking as a vintage Gibson nut), but ouch those prices! 😮 - I’d be wanting some really solid provenance. I wonder if he sold any? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Ooh, love that EB0 MK1 Slab. Don't love the price though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Glen Matlock having one of these in the late 70’s. Would make a nice companion to my 59 Les Paul Junior too, but sadly I’m around £29,500 short. 😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 They might be on sale at those prices, but are they what people are actually paying to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking with the guy who owns them, he’s been collecting for years and is now starting to reduce what he has. Didn’t seem overly concerned about sales TBH, so maybe that’s why he’s aiming on the high side? Helluva collection though. I have his details if anyone wants to contact him for a haggle! ( I have no connection with him ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 If he really thinks that John Entwistle bass is worth a hundred grand, then surely it wouldn't be just on display so easily bashed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did seem a bit like that, but the owner was very watchful when anyone approached. Would like to know if he had any serious enquiries on them.

borntohang Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Pretty sure that guy has had the collection on Facebook marketplace for a while. He doesn't live too far from me but the prices are always really high. Shame because I'd love to try that EB6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 They’re putatively for sale, but more likely an old man’s folly. I had a bass that was played by Entwistle. Bought from Barry Matthew’s and had photo provenance. I never even bothered to mention it to the buyer, as I’d forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
