Location: Warren,Pa. | First of all...I know NOTHING about basses.
My local music store has what the owner thinks is a Mag III. '78ish, looks like a solid block of Mahogany. It looks very clean, just some finish worn off the bridge (do they call that a bridge?). He's selling it for $600. Is that a price one could reasonably expect to pay for such a thing? OHSC too.

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I've been watching the Magnums on Ebay for the past year, and the Magnum IIIs that I have seen went somewhere between $350-450 depending on condition. If the one you are looking at is in prime condition and comes with the original case, it may be worth the $600 to someone that REALLY wanted it. Personally, I'd offer him 400. |

Location: Warren,Pa. | Well...I'm not gonna offer him anything. He based that price on a little bit of internet research, and I figured I'd get much better information from folks here. Really, it looks close to new except for the worn finish on the metal. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | The worn finish on the metal was part of the finish. I'm not sure of the history, but it was done on purpose. If it has tone and vol controls and a somewhat normal shape body, it's a III. If it has 3 EQ sliders (active as well) and a sorta normal shape bidy... it's IV. The I and II were mostly in sunburst and have a unique body shape. |
