Anyone here planning on bidding on this piece of history? Guesses at final selling price? I wonder why Jamerson Jr. is selling it?

That's just a starting price ... although an obscenely low starting price for sure. I'd expect it to go for $25-50 grand. It belongs in a museum - together with the "Funk Machine" - wonder who has that (it was stolen in the 80s).

Yep. The Funk Machine, the beat-up, sweat-stained, bowed-neck masterpiece of a sunburst '62 P-bass along with a Kustom amp were stolen from Jamerson's storage locker sometime in the early '80s and never recovered, despite Fender's offer of a no-questions-asked trade of a '62 Reissue.
The upright now owned by Jamerson, Jr., along with historic instruments currently or formerly owned by Walter Becker and others, were up for auction elsewhere only a few weeks ago. Wonder what happened there?
