Hey mate,

you'll need to drop the price by about £100 for a sale. not being negative simply realistic.

the mark 1 has some kudos but anyone would want and buy mk2 at the price of £500 s/h or £800 new, unless...they were a collector but unlikely.

You see, the mark 2 was a major upgrade in terms of neck stability, pups and believe it or not hipshot. the original hipshot was fraught with issues.

anyway...

good luck

andy

Not any more :)

On today's exchange rates it's now about £780.

In fact a friend of mine had to buy some Euros yesterday and got less than one Euro per pound after he'd paid commission on the exchange!

Probably no longer a good time to sell to the UK if you're in a Euro currency country. However, if anyone has something over here that you'd want to ship to Europe then there's never been a better time. . .

Billy has signed my bass!

doesn't make it worth any more, to you and me personally, yes but then I couldn't or wouldn't want to personally gain from a famous person who took the time to do this as a favour.

the market value for these basses is what it is...think how long yours is taking?? Shockwave bought a secondhand mk2 in brand new condition with shop tags still on for less than what you want for your mk1 - go figure.

Your bass is superb and I would dearly love a mk1 in red for my collection but personally even with billy's signature I wouldn't give anymore than £500.

good luck

with the pound being so weak at the moment, i think pretty much everyone is going to avoid buying from overseas unless its really something special ;)
