Now any I've seen come up are more than they were new. £1000 but up for sensible offers. Advert suggests postage is included in that, so if I collected there should be some decent wiggle room. What's the general concensus on the price of these. Are they going to keep rising, in which case I need to get one soon, or are they gonna peak and then start to come down after a few years and the novelty has gone (pun most definitely intended), in which case I'll wait? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon a grand to £1500 for regular and for the 5 signed ones from PMT, sky’s the limit. Will you outlive Hooky? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 So if I got it for less than a grand it would actually be an investment really then. A sensible purchase and something not be passed up on. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a long drive from Cornwall. 😉 It's in Wellington, Somerset. Sounds a long way from Cornwall but I'm only just in Cornwall and the bass is only just in Somerset, so just a quick blast through Devon in reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) I think £1000 is a good price for the uniqueness of it and the hooky connection will appeal to some. I think folk might struggle to get big money for one in a few years and it might see a surge once Hooky snuffs it. If you can nab one for 1k or offers it’s defo worth a punt on what seems to be a decent giggable bass.

Guest Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 How much does a used bb734a cost? How much would having the split pickup reversed and the bridge pickup and 2nd vol knob removed cost? How much would having it refinished in classic bb red cost? How much would you lose trying to sell the resulting bodge job? Does a grand for the real thing still seem expensive?

Reggaebass Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 The way I see it is ,if it’s a reasonable price and it will hold it’s value and it’s something you like then you’ve got nothing to lose 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 The thing is, I just don't need it. I'd like it but is that a good enough reason. I know they're not comparable but I'm really loving my reverse P 424 at the moment. @Reggaebasshas just posted the counter argument. I can't go tonight anyway so I'm going to see what happens tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Personally I'd get one of these over a PH... Just lovely! And that reverse P pup is likely to be awesome - would love to hear one being played live. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final offer £18.50 (got to feel like I'm getting something off), declined. Thought why bother putting offers if you've set your auto decline limit at virtually the asking price? Then saw it was an auction. 🤣🤣🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
