Nice bass, though I'm not familiar with this type of auction on Ebay. 91% seller rating. pete |

Headstock/neck refinish? Finish has that blotchy look of a refinish. |

Another questionable string spacing/bridge issue? Without seeing what's going on under the ashtray I can't tell if there's an issue or not, but first of all it's righty strung and look at the string spacing between the A to D strings vs. E to A and D to G. |

People are busy, and he's cutting his potential market way down by limiting the auction to a few minutes on a Saturday afternoon. I added to my watch list so I can see how it turns out. |

The neck does not look right. I would like the seller to remove the neck and show the pocket and the heel. If you can get it cheap enough and it is original it is probably fixable. |

I was curious about the auction so I clicked the link. Three pages of basses and other gear going on the block. This is the only lefty that I noticed. So risky to be sure. But also the possibility of a nice bargain. I'm tempted to offer up a below-my-pain-threshold bid just for the ha-has. But I'll be in the mountains on Saturday and don't really feel like watching my phone. http://www.ebay.com/clt/collectibles-li ... ion-593085 |

It's common practice for most auction houses. It's like leaving a maximum Ebay bid. Another thing to consider is there is no predetermined shipping price quoted. After you get the winning bid and pay the bill including the 18% buyers premium. The bass will be packed by the shipping company and then you will receive a bill for the shipping. There was at lease one negative feedback complaining about high cost of shipping and a couple for long delivery time.I believe it is an independent company and you would be at their mercy after purchase. |

Lets do the math - if the winning bid is $1850 for example, and 18% is added on, that's $330, so you're up to $2183. And let's say shipping is $150 (and it could get easily higher than that).... total would be $2333. Any winning bid over 2-grand puts the bass around $2500 and higher. Is a '78 Jazz, not in perfect condition, worth that much? |

Is a '78 Jazz, not in perfect condition, worth that much? Nope. But, this is a color you don't see very often on a '78Jazz. If it has major neck issues or something like that, you're looking at a money pit. |

That's why I did the math, and don't think it would be worth the risk if it goes over $2000, or more, without more pics we all want - neck pocket, bridge, pots, etc.... |

Yeah, see I was thinking like $400

It went for 1550. I thought that was a decent price if it is original. Did someone on here buy it? I would be interested in seeing the heel and pocket in pix. |
