I never expected to find one on ebay So enormous sentimental value but I really have all I need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorick Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Had a lefty one a few years ago. Played ok and the pickups are fanatastic. IMO i wouldn't pay much more than the current bidding price (about £65), maybe upto a £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 apart from, the silly ashtray it looks lovely and well made. Bit like a Shergold. Cheap as chips and very retro but if they are your thing- Priceless! Go for it I say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still begrudge having to get rid of it, strangely - shortly after the wedding (November 75) & the HiWatts & the monster Orange 2x18. If I knew then! [quote name='Ou7shined' post='772915' date='Mar 12 2010, 04:20 PM']Pity it's only got one then. [/quote] Yeah - very true So - What's it worth?

Cat Burrito Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I think such things are worth as much as people want to pay for them - sorry not too helpful. I own an Antoria 1971 Jazz bass that I paid £250 for they occasionally go for a lot less. My view is that the Gherson obviously has a sentimental value which can impact on value but I'd guess a figure of anything under £200 and you are doing well. Who knows it may stay around that figure in the current listing? Fingers crossed for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 It's lovely - you really don't see too much TallyCrap, in fact this is only the second Gherson Jazz I remember seeing in many years of daily Ebay-scouring. I'd strongly encourage you to go for it - you won't see another for a long time. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
