Title: Some people take "Vintage" a little too far!
Post by: lbpesq on September 02, 2010, 08:34:50 AM

Check out this pickguard (http://cgi.ebay.com/60s-FENDER-BASS-VI-PICKGUARD-/110576977661?pt=Guitar&hash=item19bee6c6fd) on ebay.  Anyone want to bet it doesn't sell?  My favorite part is that, after having the chutzpah to ask $900 for a PICKGUARD, the seller then wants $50 shipping!
 
Bill, tgo

Now that's chutzpah.  There just might be some mook out there who'll say but it's 1960s Fender!! and pony up the dough.
 
A couple of years ago I put a clean, working Maestro Bass Brassmaster I bought new in '74 up on eBay hoping to get $100 for it.  It sold for $915.00 and I just about fainted.

...has shrunken a little bit....
Translation:  The holes in the guard no longer line up with the holes in a Bass VI, so it's worhtless.  A steal @ $900, eh?

i'd much rather spend FARLESS and just get a brand new one, but that would only be if the original was destroyed

I bet he parts out the screws for it next week for $500 . . . . they're vintage too.  I hope he's rounding up his tickets for the Dallas show.
What the hell, call the 'Burst Brothers'!

Looks like some of that Sour Diesel has made it to the U.K.
