It looks like a legit 3 bolt 70's block jazz bass put on a custom made body. The cream pickup looks like a DiMarzio P. All in all for the neck, pickups and badass bridge it could be a deal if you get it cheap and if the neck is straight. ($400 max). I predict some EBay hack is going to buy it and sell it for parts. In a month this very same neck will be listed for $900 on the bay.

It's from Detroit - I wonder if it did the rounds in some of the legendary garage rock bands of the area.

Rare indeed, but more than a 2X premium vs. righty? A period left Jazz or P sells for a % change (20%, 30%), not a multiple (2.2X), right?

Does that seem like the right spread for this?

Or is the seller trying to "re-make the market" off the one $2,600 comp?

As a collector of many things, indeed, one comp can move a market. But, sometimes and outlier is just and outlier.

What does this board think the "right" price is for this?

It it really worth what I paid for my last two '74 Jazz basses in Olympic and Trans white?

Back then, it certainly was not. Maybe 1/2 the price new?

But as I type this, the bids are only at $202

I tapped out at 600.

Considering there is no way that's an original body, I really think someone just overpaid for a 70s Jazz neck.

Yeah I agree too. That body is a disaster in every way imaginable.

Nothing pisses me off more than seeing a perfectly good bass stripped of parts and parted out.... grrrrr
You know it when you see every part being sold separately...

This bass - no problem...
