PN. I seem to recall paying maybe 39p or something in the 80s and now they're about a quid depending on where you get 'em, so comparatively the price rise in 40 years isn't too tragic
.. bear in mind at the same time I could have bought a secondhand 'vintage' Fender P Bass or even a Rickenbacker for about £200 and they're now into thousands, likewise you could pick up a second hand perfectly playable Alto or Tenor by any of the 'big names' for a couple of hundred quid, often less. I got an immaculate Selmer SBA alto for again about £200 prob in '79.
..so musical gear £££ has way outstripped the Pot Noodle ( or the Mc D )
