steviedee Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Hi folks just not sure if I want to trade this bass but I've just picked up a Ric and I'm not sure I need the [i]70s Ibanez Copy of a well known brand[/i]. It's a great bass and sounds fantastic. Been fitted with an aluminium hipshot bridge and a pickguardian but I have all the original bits and bobs minus a screw or two. It's beautiful example of a 70s lawsuit faker. Just been setup by Jimmy Egypt in Glasgow. I'm looking for a precision or jazz and perhaps a 5 string, traditional looks really. Not interested in cash unless it's cash going your way. PM for more info and pics etc In light of all the controversy I dunno if this is contravening some rules so apologies in advance. With hipshot and pickgaurdian [attachment=107341:new medium.jpg] These pics are pre pickguardian and hipshot.

MB1 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 MB1. Pics of this "Familiar to Millions" bass shape? could indeed enhance your chance of a sale!
steviedee Posted May 7, 2012 Author Posted May 7, 2012 I'll take some pics and post them when I get home was a bit worried about ending up in Gitmo.
warwickhunt Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1336390703' post='1644784'] I can't see a price, but I could be missing it. [/quote] 'Trade' so technically doesn't need a price.

Zekragash Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 a price is usefull when you want to decide which bass value you want to trade with ...
steviedee Posted May 7, 2012 Author Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) As I said folks only really interested in a trade for something interesting, I really like the bass but you know how it is. The value of the potential bass traded for mine is irrelevant to me, if someone is interested in the ibby and have something they want to move on that I'm interested in then cool. Also as I said I'd potentially put some cash up for the right trade. It's just a feeler at the mo anyhoo. Edited May 7, 2012 by steviedee

[/quote] Not wishing to be antagonistic but that isn't always the case! The OP might put a value which is low/realistic and someone looking to trade might consider their trade significantly higher. I personally think that folks should have an idea of relative values and just put their offer forward accordingly, the OP can thus say yes/no/barter; if someone has no idea what something is worth then IMHO that's a bad position to start negotiations!
