Musicman20 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hi all In the second hand market, what roughly are Bongo 5 HH basses 'worth', not taking into account they are a little 'out there'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'd say £800 would be what i'd expect to see. Maybe a little more if it's a rare colour or absolutely mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Wazoo Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I agree £850 - £900 depending on conditions but Gareth don't forget I sold my few months old mint Sapphire Black Bongo 5HHP (p = piezo) to Guenter on the EBMM forum in Germany for £1300 in Oct 2010, it was immaculate with the original hard case and candy. He's been a happy German ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 That's my thoughts exactly Fran, if someone wants one, and is waiting for one used to come up, they tend to go for a high value. Of course yours had the icing on the cake piezo, but its interesting to know if you look after you gear, you can get a good value for them. Im still pondering getting one.

Grand Wazoo Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hey Gareth, keep an eye on this one to get an idea on how much it'll fetch, perhaps you might want to put a bid on it yourself: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Musicman-Bongo-5-String-Bass-Guitar-/110736275467?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item19c865780b"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Musicman-Bongo-5...=item19c865780b[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Wazoo Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Well that particular Bongo 5 on ebay with some minor scuffs went for a very good price and free delivery incl all for £628.60!! Not bad, whoever bought it did well, the original case was also included in the sale. Attaboy!

swanbrook Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi Gareth, Fran Here is a funny thing, I would never let the condition of a bass stop me buying it or make me pay More for it. But then all of fran's basses are in better than showrom Condition and he got a very high price for his bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
