SpondonBassed Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 It must be part of the collector's mentality to see additional value in hardware because of who owned it previously. I have no time for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 [quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1509778659' post='3401531'] It must be part of the collector's mentality to see additional value in hardware because of who owned it previously. I have no time for that. [/quote] It’s an interesting point. A few vintage Guitar dealers I know don’t mention previous owners or try and increase the price as a result of who has owned or used it in the past. Unless it’s an iconic guitar (or bass) one dealer quite righty said he can’t see why it should increase value. On the other hand, some of the London dealers will use every trick in the book to ramp up value, which is fair enough if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Wouldn't it be funny if Tony Levin was reading this thinking, "what a sh*t pedal that was, glad I got rid of it, sounded crap" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 If this IS TL selling it, then he's not shy of trying to screw money out of fans is he? Hate to say this Tony, old chap, but Peter Gabriel was the celebrity, as you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I think someone has wasted the time it took them to write that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Even the shipping is €133 I wouldn't personally pay that for the pedal and shipping together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Crikey there's a whole load of stuff on sale or sold from his Reverb shop. Now there's several V cool Musicman basses he has........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom skool Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Amazing. That's more than Jimi Hendrix's fuzz face is expected to get at auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 My old Mesa Boogie Road Ready 210 EV was previously owned by Mark King. Thankfully it didn't make me sound anything like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hilarious. I suppose some idiots fall for it (like the fools who pay a fortune for soiled bed linen used by stars and sold by the hotels they stay in). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 This seems better value for the same price. At least it's actually an instrument. https://reverb.com/item/5276535-jack-bruce-owned-and-played-bass-guitar-with-certificate-signed-by-jack-and-photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilco Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I think you're all overlooking the fact that there is a guitar pick also included in the deal, clearly adding justification to the price....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 It’s no different to people buying gold or diamonds. The value is in the rarity. It’s the effect of supply and demand in a totally inelastic supply market. If a few rich people want something they’ll pay whatever the market will stand.

ZilchWoolham Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 And it seems they won't pay more than 15k for a phaser owned by Tony Levin. And neither should they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Well, if its not good enough for him, why should it be good enough for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super al Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I see the Tony Levin funk fingers are £117! Our drummer keeps threatening to make me a pair from his old sticks, I made a rude hand gesture in response :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) [quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1509778659' post='3401531'] It must be part of the collector's mentality to see additional value in hardware because of who owned it previously. I have no time for that. [/quote] Me neither. Do people think that if they buy a bass (for example) that was owned by a famous bass player that they will somehow, by osmosis, suddenly be able to play and sound like said player and instantly enjoy the fame and success of that player? Or what..? Buying a phase pedal previously owned by [ROCK STAR] at an extortionate price isn't going to help you record and produce a million-selling album, is it? Unless you were on your way to recording such an album anyway, of course... Anyway, I like Behringer pedals. They're nineteen quid.

mingsta Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 For that money, will Tony Levin be included with the sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 A finger of funk is just enough, to get you through your day... [color=#33ffcc][i][b]La-la. La-la. La-la. La! La!

SpondonBassed Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1509823229' post='3401922'] I assume because I've looked at this Reverb listing, I'm now gettting Tony Levin's for sale ads popping up in my FB feed. Amongst them, I found this. One for blue I think.... [url="https://reverb.com/item/5902739-vox-george-harrison-sergeant-pepper-ul730-amplifier"]https://reverb.com/i...ul730-amplifier[/url] [/quote] Is there an advert with two funk fingers coming at yer?
