Wow! It makes you wonder what kinds of things are stuffed under people's beds and forgotten about.

Wonder what they will get for that !

Make 'em an offer, Scott.

Wonder if it has a Farah Fawcett picture inside the box too? That's amazing...

Man, that's weird!

There was a Bicentennial for sale in Holland some months ago. Totally mint and 2.750 euros with original case.

Geez, I hope there's really a bass in there!

My palms are sweating...

Yeah, seen that one a few times before. It hasn't sold in quite some time. Either the price is too high, or people are scared to buy a box with unknown contents. Seriously, if they want to sell it, they need to show that there is a mint bass inside.

Just think though, that case has got 1970s Kalamazoo air inside it...

Or at least warrant that there's a mint bass inside or your money back.

in the imortal words of the fall-open the box open the box open the godamn box.

Another problem is it does a instrument no good to just sit untouched for 30 years. If he wants to sell it he needs to take the bass out of the box period.

you T-Bird players just asmackin at de lips huh? lol

EvilLordJuju · December 28, 2008, 01:44:06 PM

Yeah, the more I think about it the more ridiculous it seems. This is going for a premium (I assume) because the box is unopened, yet that will presumably be the first action of the new buyer.

But it's always that way in the world of vintage guitars. All the hype claiming how much better old instruments are because they've been played so many years, how they supposedly resonate better, etc., yet the pristine unplayed ones always have a higher price tag. So I'm not surprised that it's "make us an offer."

Still, if I were a big T-bird fan, I might be checking my bank balance right now and figuring how long I could go without eating.
