mistahbenn Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Is there really no interest in this bass? Thought the market was bad, but not this bad! Ah well, will have to go the Fleabay route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BassKS Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 It must sound a killer but no case, refin, replacement pup, and the bridge looks much newer than the rest of the hardware. I would love to listen to it. do you have any sound bites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistahbenn Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hi BassKS The bridge is original.... as is the rest of the hardwear.... I will record some snippets later today and post for you. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I think the price is a tiny tiny bit too much! Refins are generally half price, and like gareth said, only wanting to be constructive, with a different pickup and no case, I'd probably look along the lines of £700 - £800 Good luck, I do bet it sounds amazing!

Thought the market was bad, but not this bad! Ah well, will have to go the Fleabay route.[/quote] That Ebay link you posted actually highlights one of the problems with the bass - you've shown how expensive it will be to bring the bass closer to original, or, on the other side of the coin, you've shown how much of the value went with the pickup. And yes, the market is absolutely in the toilet at present. I think the only things that are probably retaining their value are 100% original gear, and I'm not even sure about that. Just my 2 cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
