Hello,
First post for me!!! I've been playing inexpensive basses for a long time - mainly Yamahas (I really like the RBX550 that i've got, but I think it's time for an upgrade). I've always, always wanted a J-bass, but have never had the funds to stretch to it. Recently I've come into quite a bit of cash and I'm considering buying a vintage jazz bass, partially because they make me excited in my soul, and partially because I want it to be a fun way to save the money I've got (in case I need to sell it in the future to get my cash back). Has anyone got any tips on what I should be looking for, and how much I should expect to pay? I can see 1973 vintage basses for about 3000 GBP (c4700 USD) advertised, and I saw an advert recently for a 1983 model (almost vinatge) for 1000 GBP (1600 USD).Has anyone got advice on what to look for an how not to get ripped off they'd be willing to share with me?
