hey i want to know what my bass is worth. my uncle just gave me it for helping him paint his house (that was fun ) anyways. hes not exactly sure when it was made. early 70's anywhere from 70-75. he bought it new and only used it about 4 years. im not sure of the model. its not a thunderbird it kind of looks like an sg but the points are rounded. on the back the finish is cracked. but other than that its good. the electronics are in working condition and it sounds great. with an exception to the cracks on the back its in almost perfect condition. i havent had any problems with it. well i just got it yesterday so im glad i havent had any problems, anyways im gonna put up a picture or two as soon as possible so you can see for yourself.

Does it have a name? Sounds like maybe a danelectro or silvertone maybe a epiphone. A name will help!

I would like to see it.

o sorry about that its an epiphone i forgot to put that. yeah a nam would defiently help.

Look sort of like this?

Epiphones will rarely garner over a couple hundred bucks, but if you enjoy playing it, price is a moot point. How it feels to you is more important. My cheapest guitar happens to be the one I enjoy playing the most.

thanks,

nope not it. im just curious about the price and have no intentions of selling it. if it was real expensive id keep it locked up but i think im free to play it.

All Epiphones before 1969 are worth some money. They moved to Japan from 1969 on.

Epiphone has been around since 1873 way before Gibson.

Some of those old Epiphone jazz boxes are worth a mint.
What's the serial number on your bass

im not sure what the serial number is. anyways i think epiphones before 1957 would be worth the most (the year they got bought by CMI)

hey i dont know if anyone remebers this topic i started it way long ago, anyways i found a pic of the bass online.

visit it. it also answered my question as to the value, anyone know the name though?

I think it's a Coronet, not sure what it's worth, but it's not a copy of a Gibson model for a change, it's a proper Epiphone only design
