Same applies to the Phil Lynott and Cliff Burton basses. A barried up late '70s P Bass is a £3000 instrument. An old Black and Gold Aria worth even less.
@@orlowski2018 From EBMM's website: "All proceeds from the sale of this Cliff Williams Icon series bass will be donated to The American Alzheimer’s Association Gulf Coast Chapter who provides support and resources for those living with or caring for someone with Alzheimer's or other dementias." Knowing Malcolm Young succumbed to dementia, donating the proceeds is kind of understandable, as opposed to pocketing it all instead.
They’re like little peasants waiting for someone they think is better than them to do something that breaks the rules they uphold so well. Then it becomes new ground because someone they respect did it.
Ever watched "This is Spinal Tap"? There's a scene where Nigel shows the documentarian his guitars and amps collection (yes it's 'these go to eleven' scene. Anyway, there's one guitar which was so valuable they couldn't even point at. It's Fender Bass VI in seafoam green. One of two ever made in this color. You can watch PhilX play the other one somewhere on RU-vid
Entwistle is the reason I play the bass and his dog model is so expensive I can’t remember the price but I do remember how pissed off it made me Stanley Clarke’s signature Alembic is about $12K There was a Michael Anthony Yamaha that I had just missed purchasing but he has the Jack Daniel’s that’s unreachable made by Carl Thompson (?) I think it would be better to wait until I get an endorsement, seems cheaper lol😊
You can get a Steve Harris signature Precision for a more modest £1400, or a J J Burnel signature Shuker for £2200. Or a Charles Berthoud signature Schechter for £1650...
Rickenbacker 4001CS, the Chris Squire model, though it’s not as expensive as it could be at the moment. Reverb has a mint condition example for €14k, a signed one for $24k.
I'm not big on signature instruments, but the Cliff Burton has had me drooling since it came out. Also, if I had the spare cash, I'd absolutely drop $10000 on a Zon Hyperbass.
if you ever plan on purchasing, be careful the build quality isn't really up to par with it's price and it's electronics can get a little squirrelly at times...but if you're set on just having the bass just for fun and stuff it's definitely worth it👍🏼
The highest I've seen a signature instrument go is a guitar for Wolf Hoffman of Accept. He had a Framus signature going for $20k USD! At least it's none of the pre-reliced BS a lot of expensive signatures do, but $20k?!?!
🚩 I once owned a Washburn USA Dimebag Darrell Southern Cross and a Modulus USA FB4 Flea model behs. I had to sell both because of a variety of life issues. The pain of missing previously owned items, especially artist/signature model type guitars, is suffering I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. That Aria Cliff Burton behs has been on the bucket list for decades.
I like the last one. I own a modest string of recording studios. It would be cool to play that at one of them. Or at my home studio.I don’t need the shades. 😊
The thundercat bass is somehow the heaviest, most uncomfortable bass I’ve ever tried. Makes me respect him even more for pulling off his insane chops on it!
Not to mention the Oceania custom 25 fret Strat bass for Stanley Clarke. My man, Necrobutcher uses Epiphone Les Paul basses. New Count Day #226 of BEHgging for Necrobutcher's BEHS tone
Do you like Kirk Hammett the guitar player his my idol and cliff Burton he is my behs idol. Love your videos Been whatching for about 7 months now but yeah Hope you answer
I’m genuinely surprised that Cliff Williams’ and Lynott’s are so expensive, like I honestly thought that one of Paul McCartney’s Hofners or the Chris Squire Rickenbacker 4001S would be up there
Number two looks good as well. I started playing the bass first. Then guitar. Then piano, then drums and harmonica, the blues kind , not old Suzan’s . 😝. And sa little bit of sax.
I have a Lakland Skyline 44-64 Geezer Butler and its not crazy priced, just crazy good. EMG's best pickups, Lakland everything else. Also comes in transparent purple ash.
ABC rich Rickenbacker longneck will cost a pretty penny if they will still make them. I have one and I had to get the neck Rihanna live sounds great. I hope that what kind of strings are used for it they only use that one kind of sounds like Paul McCartney and the older days of the Beatles and he switched to one of those. It was a lighter kind of bass, but it was still the boom zone but it was.
