Yes the local appraiser says 4-5k for our area is about right.
He also stated other more music-centric locations e.g. Nashville, LA or NYC could bring considerably more.
Anecdotally, that bass was more than likely in the same recording studio with Lynyrd Skynyrd before MCA picked them up.
You see, my wife’s dad and his partner recorded them in their local studio here around ‘69 or ‘70.....back then they were calling themselves “1 percent” and playing the local bars.
One of the cuts is actually the 1st time Freebird was ever recorded.
All that is true my friend.....if you search for “Shade Tree demo” on YouTube you’ll see I’m telling the truth. Her dad was Jim Sutton and his (now my wife’s) partner is Tom Markham. Jim and Tom have credit on YouTube as the producers.
There’s actually A LOT more to the story but I’ll save you from that.
I told my wife if I’d have known she was Rock n Roll royalty I would have married her 10 years before I did. 😁
Have a blessed day my friend. See you around FR. 🙂
You living up near Muscle Shoals? We just moved up from Bama to North Carolina. Lots of music up here.
