King Tut Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 These are great basses - I had one, sold it then missed it so bought another! Free bump
ianrunci Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 [quote name='et1058' post='149893' date='Mar 2 2008, 05:20 PM']how much would you sell it for?[/quote] Probably be looking for about £250 which is what they seem to go for used. It was about £360 new
ianrunci Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Also, and I know this isn't a bass but I have a Gorgeous Peavey EXP HP Signature 6 string guitar in cherry Sunburst A beautiful instrument with ebony fingerboard which plays like a 2 grand PRS i kid you not. They are between £399 and £450 to buy on the web depending where you look. Its in mint condition and in a very good hard case. I would suggest the used price on this is about 250 to 300 inc the hard case. I will sell for cash but would rather swap it for a 4 String bass of the same value, or even the Peavey and the Yamy 5 string together for something. Edited March 4, 2008 by ianrunci
Higgie Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I have this exact same bass, but with 4 strings (same colour and everything) and it is awesome. You cannot get better for the money! I've also had the 5 string version and it is awesome. I would love to take this 5er, but I have no cash! Good luck with the sale/trade!
