I have seen two Japanese used 75 RI's up for between £900 and £1000 of late. And they wonder why they don't sell. I only got £850 for my immaculate USA 75 RI.

I genuinely laughed out loud reading this one! [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/1988-fender-precision-lyte-bass-guitar-gorgeous/1039499582"]1988 fender precision lyte bass guitar - gorgeous. Warwickshire[/url]

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1384932800' post='2282363'] I have never sent such a message, and don't plan to. However, there are auctions where the price is significantly out of whack. E.g. second hand items being sold for more than the new price. Items listed for double what they normally go for, or more. I just roll my eyes and move on, but I can imagine some potential buyers being frustrated that an item they would be prepared to pay a fair price for is 'available', but at an unrealistic price.

Don't know how anyone can just guess without trying them Sea foam green is very tempting as a paint job would be over £200 and Fender don't seem to be able to mix that colour any more. Tempting to buy just for the body.

Keeps going down, it was £21k couple of months back.

My second one. Love it. Very clear, need to hit notes properly but the depth and width are IMO both between Jazz and P. Sound wise, you have a good amp with EQ? You get pretty much what you want.

Isn't that you Clarky, second from right ?

Christoph has just bought my now ex AV 75 Jazz Re-Issue. When it comes to selling something outside of the UK I am reluctant as I once had a big problem. As a result of that I will only sell outside the UK if the buyer abides by my requests. Christoph was absolutely marvellous and frankly shames me that he can converse in English better than I can. So, EXCELLENT bloke, deal with utmost confidence, Christoph is a credit too himself. Enjoy the bass my friend and many thanks for being so decisive and organised. Cheers, Karl.

Howard has just done me a brown tortie plate for my 2001 Sonic Blue Jazz. Wouldn't say it was a good job, but not sure I need to bother with putting the screws back in . And it looks the poodles privates. Top job, top product, very fast service. Many thanks Howard. As Arnie would say "I'll be back". Cheers, Karl.
