MiltyG565 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OLP-Ernie-Ball-licensed-active-4-string-bass-guitar-/130848999542?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e77354876&_uhb=1 LOOK AT THAT! I own one of these, and it is genuinely as close as you will get to a musicman for less than £200. I paid £200 for mine about 16 months ago, and even in the condition it is in now, i could still shift it on for £160 i'm sure. If you are going to buy this, phone up and make sure it's a Korean one. It looks it, but just to be sure. He's in Watford. It looks to me like it hasn't been played very much AT ALL! The pickups react to the sweat in your hands (mine did at least) and this one has none. If i had £100 and lived near watford, you have no idea what time i would be at this guys house in the morning. I would honestly be right there to by it, i'm not joking. I think i should be clear, i've never met or talked to this guy, i just think you have to be mad to pass this up. If it is a Korean made one, and it certainly looks like one (maybe even japanese) you need to buy it. ah, i'm going to cry if one of you don't buy it and do a demo with it :'( Quote

stevie Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Even with collection only, it will go for more than £100. I had one and I still have the back pains. I don't know if they're all like that, but man was it heavy. Quote

TheGreek Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 I've got £100 and the bass is just up the road from me - unfortunately I've got too many basses already..it'll sell for a bit more than the £100 it's currently at... Quote

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 My guess is , it will sell for £180. 3 people bidding on it now. Quote

BetaFunk Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 The listing says 'great condition, plays sweet'. Does that mean you can only play Little Willy, Wig Wam Bam, Hell Raiser etc on it? Quote

MiltyG565 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 I think the person selling doesn't know a lot about basses. Probably bought this to start on, then didn't. Judging by the looks of it, it hasn't done much, or even gone very far. Quote
stevie Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Went for £130. That's a bargain, and shows you why Collect Only isn't always a great idea. Quote

I can never understand why anyone who is selling a bass that came halfway around the world at one point in it's life won't send it a few more miles. Mind boggling. Quote

It should probably have gone for around £200, but as you say, this is why collection only isn't a good idea. I hope whoever bought it realises the bargain they got. Quote
