Its a lot of money considering the cost of the components.

I do understand that this is what they go for on Ebay though, im not questioning your price.

Are you answering on behalf of Ou7shined?

I don't see how you think "Its a lot of money considering the cost of the components" unless you have access to wholesale price parts or something?

Taking into consideration that they are quality components & all the work is done - not everybody has the tools/skills/knowledge/patience - whatever to do things like this for themselves, It seems to me a fair price to ask.

I thought I might actually be doing someone a favour, not starting a price war!

If you're "not questioning your price" what are you saying exactly?

LOL. Why so negative?

Yes, i was answering on behalf of Ou7. you asked why he questioned your price.

Seeing as ive just upgraded all the internals of my P bass, and paid full price for the parts i DO know how much it all comes to. You only have to look on Allparts or WD music to find out how much each component and a bit of wire costs.

I already said that your price was the going rate for this sort of thing so i wasn't questioning it at all, just answering your question.
In fact if i hadn't already done my bass i would have had this off you as like you say, not everyone has the skill to do it themselves.

I would say chill out but i guess you would take offence to me telling you to do that as well so good luck instead.

I suppose I find myself more negative than positive these days! Must be my age :lol:

So you know the prices, factor in a little for consumables, time etc. + P&P, would you want to make a kit for less?

No offence taken or intended - I'm going for my chill pill now :) Must be lunch time :)

Maybe the price is a little high but it's really annoying when prices are questioned in the thread, a friendly pm is a much better way.

I've done it a couple of times mainly with newer members who are selling stuff close to retail

FWIW i was interested in this until i saw the price though!

I know what you mean about being more negative these days, im the same.

I really dont want you to think i was questioning your price, i was really just replying to your question about why you were asked if it was just for the one kit.

I do think its a good price for what it is and like i said, i would happily pay this if i hadnt already done the job myself.
In fact in another thread i asked about these kits and was ready to buy one (for a bit more than your asking) but ended up talking myself out of getting one and having a go myself.

Enjoy your lunch, im sure you will have a few takers for the kit.

To be perfectly honest, for the time and effort that goes into making one, £20 isn't too bad. Especially if it's a switchcraft jack and it's all unused before. This would be perfect for someone looking to upgrade their bass but isn't very confident. The option of the screw terminals is a really f*cking good idea too. Pick up change would be so much simpler that way... Wish I'd of thought of that...

OK as I'm so sad - I've been to WD Music & priced it up.

£7.90 - 2 x CTS Solid Shaft 250K Pots @£3.95
£1.95 - Switchcraft Jack Socket
£0.98 - Orange Drop Cap (Same as Green I used)
£2.00 - Wire (£1 per foot of each)
£1.95 - P&P
£14.78 - Total Parts.
£0. 20 - Solder (Estimated)
£2.24 - Royal Mail 1st Class posted to you.
£17.22 - Grand Total.
Leaving a miserly sum of £3.78 I suppose you'd say = me charging too much for building it?
+ I offered Screw Terminal connectors for anybody not wishing to solder their pick up & earth wires.

I give up :)

Edit: I forgot to add the small amount I regularly donate to Basschat whenever I make sales via this wonderful place :) Every little helps - or is that Tesco? Or Asda? Feck nose, is it Whisky time yet? Or just more pills? :lol:

How about a picture for us to see? That may help you shift it a bit quicker too...[/quote]
Why didn't I think of that :)

Sorry for posting and running there. I'm driving through blizzards at the moment and need to concentrate on more important things. I won't talk directly about prices in a FS thread but I will PM you links for exactly the same spec looms (some include waxed/cloth wiring) as a comparison to yours when I get stopped for long enough again.
P.S. I didn't know at the start of this thread that you were selling on retail parts because this is normally a forum for used items only.
Peace out.
