Maverick John Pybus 5er

Hi. I might be getting one of these as a trade deal. Its not my thing so does anyone think it might be a saleable item because of the shape? Thanks

They're certainly good for metal... Ahem...

If you're not sure it'd sell surely it doesn't make sense to do the trade? You wouldn't want to be left with it! What would people think?!

The guys got something else that I really want but hasn't got all the cash

John Pybus was always a funny one to give a signature model to - Cradle Of Filth and Anathema aren't exactly household names. 

I don't think it'll be worth loads to be honest - metal shape, mid-range instruments don't command a huge value on the used market, particularly when the brand no longer exists.

Never buy or trade a bass that someone else can't sell.

Thanks for the opinions.  Cheers

Dave Pybus wasn't it, not John? You're probably looking at around £200 tops value for it, weird shape and defunct off-brand doesn't help it. A little shop near me had a ton of Maverick stuff in when they came onto the scene, mighty fine instruments but they look very dated now and hold little appeal.

 

Unless you want it yourself or are prepared to hold out for a sale then value it very low in a trade deal, chances are you'll be stuck with it.

Was just going to post that I was pretty sure his name was Dave Pybus (met him a few times, sound bloke).

Yep. Deffo Dave!!
