spinynorman Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 That went down like a lead balloon. So is the Spector market saturated by the Sound Control fire sale, or is that just a very unrealistic price?

I was one of the fortunate ones to get a Euro 5 so I am a happy chappy. On t'other hand it could just be general lack of money at the moment until we can all get our funds out of Iceland..... Had a look at Homer's ReBop a little while back and they are awesome basses. Good luck with the sale.
spinynorman Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 Hmmm - looks like the current going rate is more like £850. For which you do get a fancy finish. This is a man's bass in plain alder - we don't need no steenkin figured maple.
wrinkleygit Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Hello just seen this on the forum,I'm looking for a 5 string,but I only have a budget of £300,if it's still for sale let me know,I would pay cash on collection if your interested in an offer,thanks,mike.
spinynorman Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 Hi, thanks for your interest. I was hoping to get more than £300 for it, though. I have actually got it up on eBay on a BIN/Best Offer basis and if nothing comes of that I'll probably keep it. But thanks anyway.
wrinkleygit Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Best of luck with ebay,it's a shame there is a 140 mile drive between us for face to face haggling,if it doesn't sell keep in touch,mike.

But it's a much, much, cheaper bass than your budget would cover. Would you be potentially interested? It's a Rockbass Streamer Standard V. I'm nowhere near Devon either.
wrinkleygit Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Hello again,still pondering over your spector,it would seem that mint cond thro' neck 5's fetch around £480,so a bolt on in used cond has to be worth significantly less,also take off what you would pay ebay in commission & with a bit of haggling we may not be a million miles apart,if it doesn't make it in the auction send a PM thro the forum,I have a few days off work this week so collecting is not a problem,best of luck either way,mike b.

A thru neck (i.e. Euro or US) 5-string would fetch at least £700, particularly as the new RRP is £1500. This bolt-on ReBop is, to my mind, realistically priced. Have a free bump!
wrinkleygit Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Carried out a search on ebay completed listings,you can also search various forum's for previous sales,bear in mind a rebop 4 has just been listed on this forum for £300,mike b.

Bear in mind that said ReBop 4 does have some 'thumbrest damage/modification' though. I would say this ReBop 5 (with Aguilar pre-amp) is worth £400+. Bumping a great bass...
