[quote name='tombboy' post='686668' date='Dec 16 2009, 06:55 PM']To be fair... you are quoting 'TOP END' retail and they NEVER go for that price new in this country. I don't want to derail your thread and whatever price you set, it's your perogative (Bobby Brown fans, sit the f##k down!!). Just having a look through the previous SR5's for sale on here may be good advice. Good luck anyway.[/quote] No, totally fine and i respect yours and everyone else's opinion. I know i quote new basses ("TOP END"?.... theyre still a standard S5 at the end of the day) but i just used the RRP to state that this bass [b]is not[/b] one that sells for £900 new and £650 SH, if you get my jist? I just think people have grown so accustomed to the 'Ebay' way of selling that even on here things have to be cheap to sell... it is seriously sad and needs to be rejustified before any bass, not just mine, is selling for £300 or any stupid price. I.M.O you should see the bass for what it is and not the price tag, thinking only of what it cost would only take the pleasure of playing it away. Wheres the fun in that guys and gals? I honestly think £900 is a bargain for this bass and everything included and i'm not trying to hide anything by selling it for less. Merry Christmas people!

[b]Update:[/b] To qualify for the Christmas goody bag, I need the payment sent & cleared before the 20th December in order to send the bass by 21st in time for Christmas Eve (not gaurenteed). All for now and i wish you all a merry Christmas. ^_^

haha i'm just another compliment but what a beautiful bass.... shame it wasn't 5 string though

Yes but im not looking for a [i]"quick sale"[/i] as such. The 'Sterling' Ray35 by Musicman ([b]£749[/b]) is same price or more as most same basses selling on here and of which, alot better than that pile of indonesian crap. I know times are changing, guitars age and people are looking for a good deal too but this is a bass that retails for about [b]£1.5k[/b] new and i don't think selling it for £600-£700 does this bass any justice, especially for a 5 string. Im sure you and many others who have read this thread will understand what my point is. Cheers for the comment anyway

Mine actually came tuned to C-C... they can possibly be tuned to E-E but the intonation may go out and alot of tension made on strings and neck, possibly.

about postage? as long as you pay the price i';m asking i will guarentee free P&P uploading pictures in a minutes time Thank you all for messaging me and being patient.

[center] [color="#0000FF"][url="http://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/index.php?product=G5265&cat1=&cat2=&q=&st=1"]<<<Gretsch Baritone Page + Specs>>>[/url] [/color][/center] Got this baritone guitar just over a year ago (01/12/08) from Dawsons in Liverpool after I found it hard to put down... unfortunitly with having to look for work or work toward an ECDL lately, i havent got the time to pick it up now. I think this guitar can occupy both guitarists and bassists. It is 4 semitones lower than your average guitar (C-C) and has a longer scale neck giving a lovely and natural bass tone but can get crisp highs too. It's a shame to sell this but it does need a better home than it has already. Pretty much NEW condition other than i removed the horrible scratchplate to make it abit more manly and cant find it now (haha). no marks on it what so ever!!! I'm asking for £200 as you can not get a guitar like this around unless you import and perhaps pay the RRP. I'll try and find a spare gig bag, supply it with the spare strings i got for it (elixers) and a levy strap. IF baught before Xmas, i shall include a small goody bag of guitar and christmassy goods. Hit me up if your interested. *Paypal payment preferd & I'll try my best to get FREE P&P depending on where you are.

[color="#FFFF00"][size=1](First of all I shall update this thread with pictures when I get the chance, please be patient)[/size][/color] [font="Verdana"] Basically I'm looking to sell my Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray5 5 string (inc straplocks and hardcase), just due to the fact i prefer a passive bass guitar. I've never really used the 3band EQ and it seems such a waste me keeping it and not use it to its full potential. Now, this bass is used but good condition: not saying 'new' but it's not far off, condition wise. It does have a few minor scratches, like any bass and a few dings but no belt rash as you can see in the pictures. I am asking of a price of £975 [color="#FF00FF"]*[/color] just for the fact it's one of the best "mass produced" 5 string basses you can get and I payed just abit more than this just over a year ago, so im not letting it get away easily.[/font] Specs: [b]Size:[/b] 13-3/8" wide, 1-3/4" thick, 45-3/4" long (34.0 cm wide, 4.5 cm thick, 116.2 cm long) [b]Weight:[/b] 10 lbs (4.54 kg) - varies slightly [b]Body Wood:[/b] Ash [b]Body Finish:[/b] High gloss polyester [b]Bridge:[/b] Standard - Music Man® chrome plated, hardened steel bridge plate with stainless steel saddles; [b]Pickguard:[/b] Standard - Black.
