Not mine - but I'm curious about it... Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 the description values it at £175 as is, which would seem a fair price. Quote
Prosebass Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Its probably worth what he quoted with the case and lead but will probably fetch less as it is pick-up only and so you instantly loose about 98% of your potential customers. I'd say £150.00 Quote

I think £5000 is a fair price to shake my hand.... Quote

MuseMatt Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I like this bass a lot myself, but I got it fairly cheap. Had pickups and preamp replaced and it's my current gigging bass. 150 pounds would be cheap, I'd happily pay 300 pounds for what you're getting for it! If you're looking to sell quickly aim at 225 poundish Quote
bassbloke Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I know a few people who swear by their P bass Lyte. Quote
The Burpster Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Some parts benefit by upgrades.... I think they are much maligned though.... I would much rather have one of these than a brand new Mex P deluxe (P+J pups) Quote
Duarte Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 £175 is an excellent price for a classic bass. I'd pay £300 quite happily, too. Quote
timmyo Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) fret asked this for me (I don't think each of us knew the other was a member here ) I bought it cash for £160 - I'm no expert (I play the guitar normally) but it works (the vol pot crackle is actually jack socket crackle - only when you wiggle - I'll re-solder it) is light as a feather and to my uneducated hands plays very very easily. The P pickups seems a bit quieter than the J pickup - is that to be expected ? Anyway - it's nice - it'll do me fine. Tim [b]**edit**[/b] - it says made in Japan on it - are all the Lytes Jap ?

MuseMatt Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 afaik they're all japs yes. I had my electronics replaced (currently (not) for sale (sold pending payment)) which sorted that out. Still they're great imho and I don't think I'll part with it anytime soon. How's your fretwork? Mine was a bit dodgy high on the G Quote
