Framus Star Bass

I have an old but well-preserved Framus Star-Bass. Similar to what Bill Wyman played in the early years of Rolling Stones.
It was made in the late 60s. I used it for a few gigs then I switched to keyboards and never played the bass since. It's been more than 30 years...
I was wondering what's it worth today. I sell it if I get a good price for it, if not, I'll just hang it on the wall as a reminder of the good old days.

I don't have any pictures yet, but I found one on the net that looks exactly the same as my Framus bass.
So this is what I have in pretty much perfect condition:

Ok, this post is a little bit old, but i was wondering if your bass is sold, cause i like it, and i wish to know what kind of price you want for it.

Greets,

Wow...that's a great looking bass. I personally prefer hearing the sound of a bass guitar, without it I think that a band's music is incomplete....

With Metallica, he is most often seen playing Fernandes Guitars Gravity 5-string basses, particularly a model with a silver finish, blue flame decals, and EMG pickups. He has a Warwick Signature Streamer bass that was released in March 2010. He also has a signature bass model, the Sonus RT, manufactured by Zon Guitars. Prior to Metallica, he was most often seen playing Tobias, ESP and MusicMan basses (all 5-strings), as well as a Fender Precision Bass with Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne.[citation needed] Trujillo has been seen in concert playing a Yamaha TRB5-P2 5-string bass, a customized green Rickenbacker 4001/4003 4-string bass fitted with EMG pickups, and a classic Fender Precision Bass. For amplification, he uses Ampeg amplifiers and cabinets. Trujillo recently collaborated with Jim Dunlop to create his new Icon signature bass strings - these strings are taper-core stainless steel, with a non-tapered B string in gauges 45-130 (5-string).

Trujillo's pedal board consists of an Electro Harmonix Q-Tron, a SansAmp Bass Driver DI, a SansAmp XXL, a Morley Mark Tremonti wah pedal, and a Boss OC-2 Octave Pedal; all powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power .
