sockdeluxe_mikey Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Would anybody believe me if I said that (COMPLETELY out of the blue) I sold my Badass II off my Marcus Miller for £135 a while ago? It was open to bidding and it went sky high, much to my complete amazement. AND I got paid too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(excluding postage say £25 max, judging by the weight / size of all 9 together) Well mmm if you buy the lot and sell them one by one at about..... say £80 each going by ebay average, you'll double your money. My question is why would this seller want to shift all 9 at once? Close down sale or sinister circumstances..... back of a lorry sort of thing... tea leafed?

Raggy Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 So it looks like Bass Guitar Parts Direct has gone out of business, perhaps. I tried to go on their site a few weeks ago and could not find it. They have been mentioned on here a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 [quote name='Johnston' post='964100' date='Sep 22 2010, 08:59 AM']I would like to know why your opinion is so.[/quote] I can't give you any science (or even logic) I'm afraid, all I can say is that I've always preferred the tone of a Jazz with a BA, seems to give it a bit more edge and tone that's missing with the BBOT, whilst I find that the extra tone and edge in question isn't required on a Precision. Given a lot of conversations I've had with experienced players, it does seem to be quite a common belief, but as I said, no science or logic that I'm aware of.

Thanks for clearing that up. Try calling WDmusic products and ask how much they have them for - they often have mix and match combinations (silver bridge with black saddles etc) going V cheap.
