Half price P-bass 1976?

[zvirus]

Hi,

Anyone can tell me:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1976-fender-P-bass-/252636142827

1550 - 13.4%(ebay + paypal fees) = 1343 British Pounds

Shall I sell my Mrs and go for it? Im from N. Ireland and this bass is from NI too.

Cheers,
Tomas

Half price...?

Yeah why not you will still pay 1550 as the seller pays the fees

from description:
"...I have been offered £400 for the pickups alone. These basses are selling for around £2500 in this condition...."

So nearly half price is not?

Half price...?
[/quote] In the description it says these basses go for about 2500 so guess thats how the OP got half price?

If you choose to believe the seller, then... yes.

How can it be in mint condition but also have "the usual scuff marks"?
Mint means as new, totally unmarked.

£400 for the pickup from a 1976 Precision? Really?

One wonders, if they're selling for £2500, why he is offering his for £1550. Possibly because the 2500 figure is a load of bollocks? Just like the rest of the wording in the advert.

If you want that bass, and have the money, the internet can't tell you to buy it, you'll need to decide yourself. Personally its no way worth £1550 to me, but then I'm not you.

It is a pretty decent price for an all original 76 Precision, it's certainly not half price, but it's priced to sell......

Last set of 76 P pickups that I saw sell went for £165.

Using the same ratio of exaggeration would value the bass at £1,030 😄
