It seems that lowball bidders (of which I am one) are not an endangered species!!!!

The flight case is included in the P&P. If you pick it up, you only get a soft case.

And, the owner (presumably) wants £232 for it. [url="http://london.craigslist.co.uk/msg/794642560.html"]http://london.craigslist.co.uk/msg/794642560.html[/url] Rather precise amount.

Certainly not at the moment. I think the festive season has come early for lowball bidders, the secondhand market seems to be suffering at the moment.
Looks a decent 6 string starter bass and will probably sell for just over £100 maybe...?

If I hadn't bought a bass, I might have put in a cheeky £101.1p bid. But starting on a six string might be a bit extreme. My current thinking is that some time in the future I'll definitely try out a six string to see what it's like.

I thought that! It's a small world!

The bass seems to be being sold as a Johnson these days. The US price looks an utter bargain if this is the same bass that Tauzero thinks is good. Unless the quality has dropped along with the name change that is. But it looks the same bass.

Edit: US$225. Is this the cheapest six string bass ever? [url="http://www.thinmanmusic.com/bassguitars.htm"]http://www.thinmanmusic.com/bassguitars.htm[/url]

Indeed it was me that had one (ta to AT for the heads-up). If I didn't have a Tsai 6-string in about-to-be-put-together state (I know I have to put the hardware on to it, but at the price I paid it was well worth it) and had some spare money, I'd be tempted by this. It was certainly well playable, the only weak point was the electrics - I think there was some distortion in the preamp, although I have an ear like an old boot (© my old music master Dr Roy Massey) and so I might be wrong.

Up to £102 now. Given the US new price for the Johnson, and that this is ripoff Britain, that might be a decent price. For both the buyer and seller.

Edit: Sold for £150 plus £30 p&p
