mathewsanchez Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) I really love this bass but i'm just not sure fretless is for me. Original for sale thread with pictures can be found [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27836"]here[/url]. I'd like to trade for something fretted and i'm open to ideas on what bass. Pickup preferred (or meeting half way). Thanks in advance for your time, Mat Edited March 28, 2009 by mathewsanchez
mathewsanchez Posted November 29, 2008 Author Posted November 29, 2008 As there's still been no more interest i'm now considering part ex offers on Statii, Musicmen Fenderseses. PM me if you gots any questions. Oh, and there's some more pictures [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=31972"]here[/url].
Phil Wilson Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 are you still selling this? how much is it, still 450?

mathewsanchez Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 [size=4]BUMP[/size] I'm still unsure about selling but it's not getting played at all. I'd love to keep it but I really need something more useful to me (i.e. a fretted bass). Are there really no trades/part-exchanges out there? Musicman Status Fender G&L ...anything else fretted!

jmanfunk Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 No worries Mat, it'll be available should you not find what you're looking for. Good luck in the search.
mathewsanchez Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 Anyone wanna part-ex a [b]musicman sterling[/b], [b]squier classic vibe jazz[/b] or [b]status S2[/b]? (obviously with appropriate cash adjustments) Anything else considered.
mathewsanchez Posted December 27, 2008 Author Posted December 27, 2008 Another BUMP. It's still sitting in it's case. To be honest I expected a bit more interest. For conformation I can potentially add about £400-500 with the bass bringing the trade to a possible value of almost £1000. However the actual trade does not have to be that much, it can be anything as cheap as squiers (£200?) or as expensive as a grand so offers on absolutely anything fretted will be considered. And i'd also like to note i'm not picky about condition, even though the S1 is pretty mint.
MB1 Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 MB1. Youd be better off selling this outright while youve got cash interest! Either that or list it on the Statii Forum,people generally buy a fretless as an additional bass,not many folks are gonna think,O a fretless status I'll trade me Status fretted for it? ......But they might wish to give you Filthy Cold Hard cash For it!

[/quote] I know, thanks for the advice but I really don't want to be without a backup bass while i'm waiting with my cash for the right bass to come along. Especially as i've started gigging with my new band. I might buy a squier as a backup so I can sell the status and start looking.

Sure there must be another Basschatter in Suffolk who would perhaps let you borrow a back up/ spare,Or maybe has a cheaper bass for sale! while you sell yours!.....
mathewsanchez Posted December 30, 2008 Author Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Ok lads, up for sale at last i think. Offers no less than £450 and i'd prefer to do a deal where buyer picks up or organises their own courier to pick up. Edited December 30, 2008 by mathewsanchez
Matte_black Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Lovely bass, really. I'm surprised you still haven't found a deal for it.
mathewsanchez Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 Thought I had a buyer but he hasn't replied to my last PM which I sent almost a weeek ago. So I guess this is still up for grabs.
Matte_black Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I'm so in love with fretless that I'm almost tempted to get it myself

(fretted) hahaha i dont even know if i want a fretless i just had a pleasent experience with one in a music shop this week and its made me more confident with them but a fretless in a metal band? hahaha am i really asking for the right thing here?
Matte_black Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 A fretless with the right woods choice and pickup position can be used with a loud metal band without problems, don't worry.
