Guild B302

[Roc]

I've got an all original B302 that I'm seriously thinking of selling. Can anyone give me a pointer as to what it's worth? It's very well gigged but is in good shape for its age. Cheers in advance.

Well, I like these old Guilds and can tell you of the ones I ones that I know of.

There is one in a shop locally at £895, has been there for ages.

In the USA they seem to sell for around $700

Here in the UK there were a few for sale at around £600-700 a few months back that didn't sell but the number for sale at that price suggests that they were selling for that until fairly recently. ooh and there was one dog that sold much cheaper, it had lots of err character!

I hope that helps

Note: I just noticed that I think this thread is in the wrong place, it needs to be in bass guitars.

It must have sold? Can't find it anyway?

Its about 18 down from the top, I love the look of them and if I had £699 I'd seriously think about pulling the trigger.

Promenade Music have one in that's rather nice. It's a 302A and they want £513 for it.

I played one on Saturday and it was definitely £513.00p It had some wear but played and sounded beautifully. Give em a ring and ask for Gary.

Thanks. I wasn't doubting you but could only see the rather lovely B302 with Mahogany body. £513 sounds like a bargain for one.

Yeah, does sound like a bargain, but I think the ash ones are a bit cheaper than the mahogony.

I saw it at Promenade also on Saturday, nice vintage bass for not much dosh. Good luck!

Thats the only one I can find - mines in better condition than that one as well. Looks like I'll be selling. Any interest?

[Roc]

Well, I'm definitely going to sell this. Any interest before Evil bay?

Try putting it in the Basses For Sale section

[Billy Apple]

Either you're selling this or not. State your price in the for sale section, or take it elsewhere. Stop fishing for offers through the back door. And have the courage of your convictions, it's your bass so you know what it's worth.

It was already in the for sale section but got moved, but fair enough, I'll stick it back in. As for fishing, I genuinely wanted some pointers as to its worth. Thanks for the input.
