I would buy if she was in Italy. I would pay too much for shipping and taxes.

It's not a bad price for a '68 with a headstock repair.

That's a nasty-looking break in that headstock repair. But if it's stable, it should be OK.  Some touch up could be done, but the overall bass has plenty of chips and dings.  The front of the headstock is beat up, too.

If you like "mojo" of that type, it looks decent.

Nice and decent. I'd go for it, were it not for the thin neck. Guess I can look long for these prices when shopping for pre '66 gibsons.

Funny though, there is an 'equinox' logo on that case. Equinox was a quite big metal band here in Norway in the 90's - I think their records did well all over europe. The drummer lived right across the street from me. I think some of the members were from Sweden too.

Probably not them, but I just got reminded of them by seeing it, had forgotten all about them.
