L1zz1e Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hi, I need to get this insured really and I was wondering if anyone knows how much these things are worth? I mean obviously to me its priceless! But in reality if someone robbed it, Id be gutted!! Here are a few pictures.. I think they mightve been taken before the decal on the headstock was added.

franzbassist Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'd suggest you [[email protected]]email[/email] John direct and ask him how much it would cost to build a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 About 3 years ago John was charging around £1250 for this type of instrument Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_lindsay Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 The price now would be £1,499 for a bass like that from John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, L1zz1e[/quote] No 1 to pursue a claim the insurer will expect a receipt for the purchase price Like you have been told contact the builder an get an estimate/quote of a like for like instrument and then insure against it. I would imagine its like around £1500 today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hmm, wonder how much mine would cost today then? The first fretless "Jaco" bass John ever built? :brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacker Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Lizzie!! That's my old stacker!! Considering John's not doing an awful lot these days, I'd go £2.3K+. Remember to have it down as a 'specific item' on your home insurance, too, and make sure it's covered for gigs, though I doubt your home insurer would entertain that aspect. Hope you're still enjoying her. Donny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
