I've always admired that bass. The side pic of the figured maple core absolutely makes me salivate.  The maple is so vivid that it brings to mind a term like, Ultimate, unsurpassed, radiant 'Alembrick'.  Best luck to you and the lucky new owner.

Speaking as the previous owner of this bass, I can say that it is stunning visually & sonically. (I even have a pic of Jack Casady playing it at a workshop :-)
 
Phil is as straight a shooter as they come - & this bass is so unique that it is hard to place an objective value on it.

I've never heard a short scale bass with the tonal authority of this one.

Please Mr. yggdrasil, post your pic of Jack playing this lovely bass.

Sorry for the derail, but how about a current pic of its pink ivory companion just for fun?
 
Good luck with your sale.

Sorry - but Jack is a very private fellow & I'd never do that without his explicit permission.(as much as I'd love to!- the unspoken code of Fur Peace Ranch)

Yes, you're right. What happens at Fur Peace Ranch, stays at Fur Peace Ranch.

I am, of course, willing to consider a reasonable offer for this bass.

New asking price of $6500.  It will go up on eBay within a couple of days.
