Value of a Fender Rhodes?

[southpaw pete]

 

 

My father-in-law has a bunch of sweet vintage gear, most of which he bought new back in "the day" and used for touring etc... He's curious about selling, or at least finding the value of some of it.

One such item is an old Fender Rhodes piano bass. It still works, and is still in pretty good shape as you can see. Any ideas on value?

Piano basses are a bit more rare than the standard stage/suitcase models. Maybe $500-600? Check ebay's completed listings and you may get a better idea of what they go for.

I sold one that was in about the same shape for $800 on ebay last spring. Had to ship it to Paris, but all in all, wasn't a problem with $200 shipping covered by the purchaser. Good luck! Or just send it to me

That is in excellent condition and personally, I wouldn't take less than a grand for it if I were you. You can't run out and buy a new one anywhere. As time goes on, it will only increase in value, especially considering the great condition its in.

Thanks for all of the input guys! I will pass that on.

 

Yeah, he also has a sweet old Wurlitzer - but we're not going to let him part with it - it sounds so sweet and has lots o' mojo . We used it for a few songs on our last CD.

But its a Piano Bass. The actual pool of people looking for one isn't huge.
