Sounds like a sweet bass. A friend of mine has nice a pre-CBS Precision fretless, he had no idea of the value until I finally talked him into getting in appraised. He let me borrow it a few times for gigs until I got my own fretless back in the days when I used to play a lot; boy do miss those days. Later I bought a newer Fender Jazz but it just wasn't the same.
Last year I picked up a Warwick Corvette-5 for several hundred less than its true value (thank you, Guitar Center). Figured I'd play it for a few months and sell it off and enjoy the profit - but the tone on it is incredible so I ended up keeping it. Preamp eats batteries if left in overnight though. So much gear... so little time. Ls -----Original Message----- From: Dave Crozier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Al, Took mine to be valued for insurance purposes last month and was astounded. I've had it since 1968 and bought it off the Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick in who in turn had bought it from Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame. Luckily I have the provenance to prove it as well as the signed album Stand Up on which Glenn played the bass. It's a Fender pre CBS Precision and I had a solid ebony fretboard fitted with silver fretting once I bought it. The valued it at just over £5K as it is one of the early Pre CBS models with an early serial number - much sought after evidently. And Here's me just dragging it around from gig to gig (not that I do many these days). The trouble is that now I know how valuable it is I'll be over protective and worry unduly. In a way I wish I didn't know its value. Dave This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
