It’s because we’re spoonfed lies by people who seem to know no better.

I’ve recently built up a bitsa Precision which does everything I need and so I don’t need to keep this one. Its a late 90s, fully original Yamaha BBN4 with the Stingray-style 3x1 tuners. I believe Yamaha has never made a bad bass and this continues to support my theory. It’s just fantastic. Sounds great, built like a tank and looks the business (to me at least). This has been played a lot and there are marks on the wood. The frets are worn (you can see marks on them in the pictures) but could be dressed easily enough. Thats factored into the price. It’ll have a good set of rounds on it when shipped. Think £135 is reasonable but I’ll let you be the judge.

The economic arguments for this stuff are quite persuasive, but they’ll never get a look in from a large proportion of the public.

Flipping basses for profit – fair game or not cool?
Burns-bass replied to Allaboutthebass's topic in General Discussion
I think this distills it really well. It's also why I prefer (when possible) to meet people and hand over or collect basses in person. The last bass I sold (pre-EB Stingary) we met up and had a lovely coffee and a fantastic chat in the sun. -

Again, what you're doing is taking something unplayable and making it playable. Your time and the skill to fix it have value, so that's not necessarily the same thing. It means someone can now enjoy the instrument. I've heard that lots of shops buy stock online. -

Sometimes wish it wasn't! I remember once putting a wanted ad up for a Wolf Endpin for my double bass. Three days later, one arrived at my door after being sent by someone. That's the Basschat I like. Guy didn't even ask me to pay postage. -

I believe instead of flipping, you’ve flopped. -

Is that the Andy Manners explorer bass I sold (pointy, cheap, etc.). If so, the buyer and I came to an agreement that it could be sold on in London (at the Gallery) and we split the profits between us. That was BC working well. -

Problems always occur in business, it's how you manage them that matters, and he seems to be scoring well. Best of luck to him I say. -
