Billy Apple Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 [quote name='Talbo' timestamp='1388531828' post='2323225'] Thats a bit aggro, have you been drinking!?? Pics tomorrow. Not sure what the deal is with needing an exact weight!?! The official weight is 4.10 kg - I dont have a set of scales in my house AT ALL, so I cant weight the bass to the nearest gram Sorry! [/quote] Not really aggro, Talbo. You're asking a lot of money for a bass that you haven't provided details for. Would you part with £2200 to someone who couldn't take the time to provide pictures of the actual item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1388532923' post='2323237'] The weight is vitally important to those of us with dodgy backs.

Talbo Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Im asking a lot of money because I paid a lot and its still in perfect condition. I'm not some kind of shister who's pulling the wool over peoples eyes, I just want to sell a nice bass. I'm not on here asking for comments from people who aren't interested in buying the bass. These sort of remarks make the basschat board look a bit silly.. There will be pictures tomorrow, until then, you can get a good idea from the vid!!!!

loweringthetone Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 +1 Folk here [u]are[/u] interested in what you have for sale. The pics will provide us with a look at the actual bass you are selling. Looking forward to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1388522505' post='2323146'] To be honest Talbo, if you want somebody to spend £2200 you are going to have to make a bit more effort. I say the following to help you. Photos. I certainly wouldn't spend that amount without decent photos. Weight, ask girlfriend, wife, her mates, see if they have luggage scales. Ask a fisherman you know if they have any scales. Piece of ribbon/cotton tround the nut, gently hang off scales. Good luck with your sale, I would say it's a great bass but I've not actually seen it. [/quote] I thought it was a very valid contribution I also think Karl was trying to help you out with the sale you can get some cheap luggage scales in Morrisons for a fiver may be worth getting some if it shifts the bass on quicker anyway GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Talbo, I see that you are quite new to basschat. Every forum has its own ways of doing things and you are quickly finding out ours. This is seriously a great place to buy and sell gear if you take on board the suggestions that are being made. People don't ask questions out of idle curiosity and if you don't respect their need to know the answers then you are seriously reducing the amount of people who may buy your bass. You should also appreciate that people may have been stung in the past by sellers making claims for their instrument which turned out not to be the case. That is why pics and details always give the optimum chance of selling. We are nice people and we just want to see and learn about what we are buying especially when a couple of grand is involved. I hope this helps and good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroybasslines Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 +1. I'd love to see this bass; the chances of me even entering into negotiations on ANYTHING worth £2k without seeing the real thing and having some kind of basic info are zero. But with some pics, a bit of basic info and some civility I'd be there with bells on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] + 1 its fair comment on why your item Isn't shifting. You have an interested potential buyer, you should, in my very humble opinion, be doing your best to answer their questions if you want to trade with them and shift a high ticket item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 its a simple formula : 1. Description 2. Photo or photos (the more the merrier) 3. Condition 4. Weight (not important to some buyers but a key point for others including myself 5. Price Just some humble advice Good luck with the sale sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the original point's been sufficiently made now, and it's worth pointing out that he wouldn't be the first person to begin somewhat inauspiciously only to become one of the key members of BC.
