Hey there!
I don't know if you guys have seen this before, but I was surfing online and ran into this. I decided to post it.

Sorta speechless...I would think it would bring at least twice that considering the history.
 Sure would be fun own that baby bass : )

Greg, that was cool, thanks for sharing.  The prices listed are the 'sold' prices?  Some good deals- I'd think some of those old P basses are worth close to that without the historical association.  And I never knew Warwick made a headless bass, interesting.  Some personal faves:

  And a '78 5 string has to be one of the early ones.
