I'm sorry, but for once, I agree with Aug.

that bass looks awesome. To touch it would be a crime.

+1

Its value would be ruined by a repaint too.

It's worth what someone wants to pay for it is the simple answer.

Anyway, sell it to robroe, he'll quote a fair price I'm sure and it seems he really wants it.

Not with that finish checking I doubt. It is a 70's model too, hardly sought-after.

The pictures make it look like a bad refin though. I'm sure I can see brush marks.

The first step is to determine whether or not it has been refinished. That makes a lot of difference. If it's original, you really shouldn't touch it unless you HAVE TO. I would sell to rob if you don't lurv it.
