Hi,

I have been away from music the last 10 years

becauce of tinitus in my left ear.

I have a G3 bass which is not in perfect stand but plays

like a new one.

If i was to sell it, what could i get for it :


Regards

Steen from Denmark.

Default prices

G-3 in mint shape could go around $1000+

A player/used bass anywhere from US $600- $900

Between 1975-1979 4287 G3's were made according to the Gibson Shipment Totals book. They were discontinued in 1982 so there's 3 more years of production on top of 4287.

And sales were on the decline by 1980 so I would be surprised if more than 6000 total were made. But in any case it's not a rare model.
