Hello Mr. Manning.
You say London, your avatar says Portsmouth.
Is a case, gigbag included?
Would you courier at buyers cost?
Presume that says Made In Japan on headstock?
The answers may help you sell.
Nice to see a Miller at a sensible price.

Sensible?! That's a serious bargain, that is! Lovely basses these. Even though they tend to be a bit on the heavy side, they balance very well indeed.

Nope, in my opinion it's a sensible price.
Because of exchange rates/increased vat etc, the price on the new Japanese ones went through the roof about 3 years ago (in Britain anyway). I have a feeling that is why these and the Geddy had production moved to Mexico. The Mexican ones I have tried have been just as good as the Japanese, and generally a touch lighter.
People who had 5/6 year old ones Japanese ones that cost about £550new were punting them out at £700/£800 second hand, stating they were over £1000 new. They bloody well weren't when they bought them as 2 minutes on Google would show.
Then they were wondering why they weren't selling them. ;)
This is IMO a fair and sensible price for both buyer and seller. Cracking bass, good price, somebody get in quick.

Maybe, but there is no doubt that the Jap versions are still more highly regarded and sought after. Perhaps in a few years the MIM ones will catch up... And second-hand value doesn't necessarily reflect what the bass cost new - especially if they are unusual and sought-after (which, to an extent, the MMs are).

Anyway, the market will stand what the market will stand! B)
