Washburn Status 1000

[absolutpepper]

Hi

I have a lovely wine red Washburn Status 1000 bass. Its all original (inc a brand new set of Status double ball strings) and has recently been fantastically set up by Mark (7string) at Setups Glasgow; the only thing missing is the case. Condition wise its pretty good, there are the usual knocks in the finish and pitting of the brass hardware but these are superficial, most importantly the bass sings! Used but far from abused would be an apt phrase.

The reason for the post is that in light of my band taking a 'possibly' permanent break I really don't need the number of instruments I currently have and I could do with cash for some more studio equipment.

So does anyone have an idea of the going rate for these? I've seen prices vary wildly so I was hoping for a rough ball park. I am really only toying with selling at the moment but if I do i'd like to know a reasonable price for this site so I don't drastically over or under-estimate things.

Cheers

Chris

Oh, its the bass in my avatar.

I sold mine on ebay and got £180 for it about 4 years ago but have seen them go for £360 recently. Wish I had never sold it tho', lovely bass and still miss it.

yep - agree around the £300 to £350 mark seems fair. I had one back in the day and like alot of othes, regret selling it (although mine was no minter). You coudl drop into the statii forum to get the view from the Statii massive :-)
