FYI to anyone interested in bidding on this bass, email the seller ASAP for a shipping quote.
He just got back to me with shipping from Australia to Canada being $755 for the bass.

Wow, this is an amazing bass, I agree the refinish works well with the real aging of the neck. This bass should sell it has a very low opening bid. |

The opening bid is not $1495. Very nice looking Jazz. A refin takes near half off the overall value but this one is done very well. |

The opening bid - $1495 - should be the reserve IMHO... pete |

I had a bass shipped from Australia ( my midi bass) and it was half the price if I remember correctly. And oh yes, I'm in Canada too..... |

Yeah, I didn't see that the reserve was not met... Too bad. |

The seller wanted more than $2500 for a refin? Shame..... |

May be at $3K it is worth as a great instrument. |

Like I said, the opening bid should have been the reserve. At least he knows he should get 2.5k for the bass. I'd pay more with the original, worn, wrecked finish. Don't these people understand that when you refinish an instrument like this it erases its' history? pete |

In my case I got my '73 P for far less than I should have because the seller thought it would need a new paint job and to have the rusty parts replaced. I happily play it as is. |

This bass was relisted and sold for 3k plus $150 shipping... So, I'm certainly missing my natural '72 Jazz with maple boards and square MOP inlays... sold it for $200... pete |
