I think Steve Barr owned this one at one time but I think Steve called it Seafoam Green back then,

Didn't we just discuss this bass this week?  Is this the same seller or a new one?

It's a guy named Taylor out of Buffalo NY I have meet him a few times as usual he is a bit optimistic in his pricing.

imo autographs detract from the value of an instrument, not add to it. for fan boys only.

Yes, Baz started a thread about it last week and then deleted it. And it is the one Steve owned, scroll down and you can see his note in the package of original strings. I did message Steve through FB to let him know it was up, didn't think he'd be interested and apparently he isn't, at least at that price. IIRC this was a present to Steve from his wife or girlfriend, she had gotten Tom to sign it and present it to him.

I'm almost sure this is a refin, it wasn't a secret back when Steve owned it. Seller isn't claiming it's the original finish but it would be way overpriced even if it were.

That's what I recall as well when I first went online back then & I was looking for Tbird Info this Bass was one of the first that I found,
