karlfer Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Possibly because you are from THIS planet Dunc. They tend to actually SELL at around £450/£500 now because they are known to be good, well equipped, a finish that will age quickly and discontinued. Quote
itsmedunc Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 There was an element of sarcasm in my post! I love that he states that it's post 2006. Obviously something great happened at Fender that year! Quote
JapanAxe Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 The same bass is for sale under the same user name, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/233459-three-basses-for-sale-2-fender-jazz-1-ibanez/"]right here[/url] on Basschat, so we are talking about a fellow member here. Just sayin'. Quote
TheGreek Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I think Karlfer's price is closer to reality - sorry if this upsets somebody - I bought one for £400. Quote
karlfer Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Think they were updated from Highway 1 to Highway One in 2006, ie a second version. Think the second version had graphite rods in the neck but to be honest can't be arsed looking it up. Maybe tomorrow. Quote
itsmedunc Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 That sounds about right. That might have been when they started putting the Badass ii on them? I can't quite remember which way round now? On or off? Quote
Count Bassy Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1396645374' post='2416116'] The same bass is for sale under the same user name, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/233459-three-basses-for-sale-2-fender-jazz-1-ibanez/"]right here[/url] on Basschat, so we are talking about a fellow member here. Just sayin'. [/quote] So are we expected to let it pass because of that? If the Basschat community thinks he's asking too much then I'd have thought he'd want to know. If he wasn't a bass chatter I'd be saying that the seller was hoping for someone to come along on E-bay who didn't know any better. [size=4](Sorry seller, but that is what I'd think).[/size] Quote

[/quote] I believe it's when they started putting the 'greasbucket' electronics in instead of a typical tone circuit. Mine is 2006 and I know it's the first year they introduced it (still no real idea what it actually does mind) but I think that drives a slightly higher price for them. I paid £415 plus a clapped out epiphone for mine, also I think trans finishes sere introduced in 2006 but might have to look it up Quote
itsmedunc Posted April 7, 2014 Author Posted April 7, 2014 The one I had was quite nice and I paid £400. When by chance I got hold of a Squier Classic Vibe I quickly sold it. I really think the CV is a far superior instrument. Quote

Just sayin'. [/quote] Yes, but a fellow member with no posts other than the one selling the bass in question... I don't think anyone should take offence at a fairly unanimous opinion that it's over-priced whether its on eBay or here to be honest. It might just be an innocent mistake, which can easily be rectified. Although my dad always told me that something is ultimately worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for it. Quote
bigsmokebass Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Tbf, this is in perfect condition (all bar a few blemishes) and he lost the pick guard..... This surely has to be worth £500<?! Quote

bigsmokebass Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Apologies, I see the difference switching from phone to tablet Some serious idiots in this world Quote
