270degrees Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Perhaps, after years of being nagged, he promised his other half that he'd put it on ebay. "Alas, dear; no-one was interested." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Whilst not knowing the exact model makes this little more than a guess, the most expensive Ibby BTB i could find in a quick search, was £720 new. Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 What are you moaning about? The guy is throwing in a Ritter gig bag for free. Some people are so ungrateful. Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 He obviously lucked out in Vegas with the Dice & needs to make the cash back quick. I too rate those Ritter Gig Bags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randymussel Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 If you take a minute to consider the lifetime string warranty, then he may have a point: Buy it now = £27 500 Minus the value of the bass, say £450 to be generous = £27 050 Divided by the price of a nice set of strings, say £30 = call it 900 sets Say I change them every three months: 900/3 is 300 months of string changes, or 25 years worth of strings. If you're playing the bass for longer than this then you're quids in - every set of strings after the first 25 years is pure profit. Or, if you take a chance on the auction you could make your money back in less than 20! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
