Title: It had to happen, I swear this is one of my old Basses back on ebay

I got it from ebay back in the days of the pit the neck was at a "odd" angle & I sold it for whatever I paid for it  about $100 or so a lot less then it’s being listed for today, kind of odd seeing it now, I guess I could feel worse it could be a Bass I hated to sell come back to haunt me,
Cheers

Jaime, are you sure you paid that little within the past 10 years? If so, you got a bargain, I haven't seen one under $300 since the early 90s. These aren't that rare, does this have some markings that let you know this is the one you had?

Yeah Dave the shape of the back plate (the neck should be set) & the way the name is on the HS tell me it’s the same one,  I got it pretty cheap I threw in a bid just for the hell of it & was shocked to win when I got my hands on it I realized two things 1. The neck really needed Pro work done & 2. Wyman was a much better Bass Player then he’s given credit for being, I remember it sounded ok but I found it “toy-like” Steve Barr told me to hang it on the wall as art, if it had been just like Wyman’s I may have kept it but I ebayed it & the guy who got was happy w/ it,
Cheers

Speaking of Wyman here’s a clip of him fighting his back when they still played live on a TV show.
