Sadpie Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I have just found basschat and thought it would be a great place to put my '74/75 Gibson Ripper out there. It's been stored safe and sound for a good few years and whilst it is part of my past, I am reluctantly needing to give Ubu the old beast a home where he can get noisy and enjoy the feel of a grateful hand on his warm maple neck. I could do with a bit of techy help as to how I can post pictures in a post so I can put him back in the land of the living. How do I put pictures on from an iPad? Any other advice on selling would also be appreciated. Someone out there wants my Ubu and I don't think the Mrs idea of Cash Generator is really the best option. Thanks in advance, Mark Sadpie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lw. Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Upload your photos to Photobucket then link to them when you're writing your classified ad on here (in the market place). Cash Generators is the worst option, even ebay is better than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would be very keen on your vintage Gibson Ripper. Those basses are very much back in fashion at the moment for would-be hipsters, and so you may well be able to get a decent price, depending on the overall condition of the bass. I've seen good examples in vintage guitar shops for anywhere between about £800-£1100 in recent times, and if you do a search on the Basses For Sale section here on Basschat that should also give you some idea of what kind of money you might be able to get for your bass. Cash Generators would be a terrible idea, and I'm sure you could do much better selling the bass yourself. .

Sadpie Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Haha yes Cash Gen was the Mrs idea but I don't think they would understand the love involved, probably only give me £40, a tenner for each string. I should sort out a photobucket account so I can put up some pics in the right thread. I've just put some on my Facebook page, if you search Mark Sanders you will see the Sad Pie and there is my lovely old friend. Thanks for the replies, appreciated Edited May 21, 2014 by Sadpie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy1984 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm sure if you post this on the bass sale section, someone might be interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBass Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Alternatively give Andy Baxter Bass a visit as they sell these all the time! Or any shop in Denmark Street will take this and pay fairly well for it! www.andybaxterbass.com www.notomguitars.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadpie Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Cheer JamesB but I'm Oop North in Manchester and they're both Darn Sarf. Got it posted in a couple of places on Facebook site uk bass gear north west and Vintage guitar and bass so fingers crossed it will go to a good home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
