[quote name='Happy Jack' post='427313' date='Mar 6 2009, 04:22 PM']The SB301 was the entry-level instrument and was always passive. These basses are now so hopelessly under-valued that there is no "good place" to sell them. The highest price for a top-of-the-range Bass Collection (320, 325, 330) you'll normally see anyone ask is around £300 but they won't get it. £250 would be a good price to achieve for one of those and I'm currently offering two here on BassChat at £200 each! For an SB301 on eBay you'll be doing well to hit £150. Sorry, but there you have it. The reality is that, if you've owned it for a while and like it, it probably makes more sense to keep the SB301 as a tried-and-tested backup bass than to turn it into (not very much) cash.[/quote] Thanks for the response - not sure if it's really worth selling for c.£100 as I have fond memories of it and think it’s pretty awesome. However I am a little confused as the post from Doctord (5/3/09 11:56 PM) said that if there's no battery-powered electronics in a bass then it's passive. However i've taken the back plate off and it has a battery so I guess that means it's an active bass and therefore not an SB301 (if the SB301 was always passive as you mention) - does this mean I've got a 320/325/330? Thanks again in advance for everyone's assistance!

Hi Unfortunately it has come time to sell my Bass Collection guitar. Having not used it in a good ten years I know very little about it but still have fond memories of playing a few gigs when I was a lot younger! Having now read this great thread I am a little more clued up (eg. I now know where the serial number is). I think I have an SB301 from 1991 but I have included some photos if anyone could confirm that it is the SB301 model (and whether it's active or passive)? I do have a couple of questions though which I would be grateful if anyone could assist me with: i. Does anyone know where's the best place to sell a guitar - I was thinking ebay but was wondering if there were any better places online or in London that specialise in selling second hand guitars that people would recommend? ii. Does anyone have an idea what sort of price I could get for a 1991 SB301 in mint condition with all its original 'bits'? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. R ps. I also have a Peavey TKO 75 amp which I used with my bass which is in mint condition too - can anyone advise how much this might be worth?
