wateroftyne Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Half price...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Yeah why not you will still pay 1550 as the seller pays the fees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zvirus Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1479380750' post='3176031'] Half price...? [/quote] In the description it says these basses go for about 2500 so guess thats how the OP got half price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_c2 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) 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.

chrisanthony1211 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 It is a pretty decent price for an all original 76 Precision, it's certainly not half price, but it's priced to sell...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 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 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
