CPBass Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Ive got one of these in my bits box. Way things are it seems it's valuable. The only provenance I have is pics of me playing the bass. It's not the usual black colour but a very dark burgundy. Worth selling?? What would you folks do?? Cheers Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The original dark burgundy ones are slightly transluscent when held to the light, they are quite rare, made for about 14 months, and not exclusively during that period, black ones were pressed too. I've seen them sell for £70, and also £20. You have to be kinda lucky that at least 2 people want it at the time you sell it, as with anything scarce.

Stick it on The Bay, with a reserve, or BIN with best offers and see what happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
