pierreganseman Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 No man, sold mine for £2000 too. I did not ship it the buyer picked it up. Lets be honnest, In the uk a pre ernie ball Stingray goes for about £2000 anyways. So a cuttlass, 450 EVER produced. 2k is a very fair price I think. Alex at the gallery quoted me "easely £2200/£2500" depending on the condition! I don't think at all that any of this is negative towards the seller, but feel free to PM me if any one wishes to, i'll erase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapolpora Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) And I bought piereeganseman's Cutlass...... It's absolutely awesome. Or should that be +++AWESOME+++ ...and this one looks to be in nicer cosmetic condition. If I had another £2000 I would buy this as well. Just so that no one else could have it The same week there was another Cutlass that also sold quickly. That had an asking price of £2000.

I have to admit, after MysticGuitar mentioned it might be harder to sell due to being Collection Only, I was a bit concerned. From the looks of the For Sale threads here, many basses on the market to get sold and that means more of a chance of my post falling down to the bottom or on another page. I put the wrong tag up too, using the word "Cutlass I" instead of Musicman as a tag and I can't find where to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wonderful everyone is so friendly and helpful on here; I'm sure their words are a big relief to you, FlyingGuitar.

Bass-Thing Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Oh dear I desperately want this bass and I don't have £2000. I have even suggested to your good lady offering one of my children in part exchange. I'm curious as to why you want to sell as it is utterly gorgeous. Regarding price I think that you are spot on, though I would say being a seller on ebay and here that nobody seems to have any money at the moment. If you were to post a picture of it with a mirror scratchplate, I would probably be driven to going and robbing a bank (or robbing a bank back I think it's called these days!).

RachAllenBand Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 LOL I'll have to show him your post. He's not online right now. I wish you were able to buy it, too! We kept hoping my car would sell fast so no guitars would need to be sold, but the car has been sitting for two years now and I've even lowered the price on it. Just a difficult economy, even back in the states. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could easily get £2500 at least for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't too fond of eBay, as the last time he sold a bass on there he was inundated with responses which asked him to ship it to another country. He hates shipping his basses because it risks getting damaged (based on our prior experience with other items that became damaged upon arrival, despite being packed extra well). I do think he'll go that route, though, if there are no takers here. He hates losing the bass, so he isn't in much of a rush yet. I can't blame him.

[/quote] He can make it UK only, for collection only and do a buy it now or best offer price. Having done a bit of research, I think he should put it on for £3000 and see what offers come in. The trouble is generally that nobody has any money at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you about the money situation Thanks for doing the research, though, that was very thoughtful of you! He'll be happy to know you recommended £3000 Worth a try, eh? I'm still hoping my car sells soon in the USA so he won't have to lose the Musicman. There's someone who wants the vehicle but has to sell their own truck first. I'd secretly buy Tom's bass to hold it for him, but I think he'd notice the money missing from our bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachAllenBand Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Save the bass, buy my car. lol If anyone has friends on the eastcoast of America who are into classic muscle cars and considering buying one as a project, please let me know. Then Tom won't sell his bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep telling my Tom that he probably should offer to ship it instead of saying Collection Only, but he is afraid it will somehow arrive damaged. I still have the link to BC where they discuss how to ship basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the bad economy, people are purchasing less expensive basses. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
