Geek99 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Some pics would help ? Specify jazz or precision would also assist - with the deluxe gig bg and case candy or not ? Do a search in the market place for threads selling them, and look for the sold ones and take 10% off the price asked and you wont be too far off. They're really good basses and thats a popular colour - whats so wrong with it that you need to sell.?. Quote

How much did you pay for it? Was it new when you bought it? What is it worth to you? What do similar ones sell for? etc, etc. Quote

Alfie Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Generally speaking, I would not consider buying a used bass for more than 75% of the price I could get it new. Quote
Geek99 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) 960 euros? 800 pounds or so. You might get £550 if you were lucky Edited January 15, 2014 by Geek99 Quote
Conan Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1389794449' post='2337966'] 960 euros? 800 pounds or so. You might get £550 if you were lucky [/quote] Agreed. The market is very slow at the moment, and although Fenders are still selling, they are often going for less than the seller might have hoped for... Actually, I've just looked at the link above and they are now going new for 898 euros, which is £745 at today's rate. £550 is looking a bit generous maybe... Edited January 15, 2014 by Conan Quote
