Goodfellow bass

[Edmouk]

Hello !

I am the (French) owner of a Goodfellow bass that I part exchanged some time ago for a Spector bass.
I intend to put it on sale in a near future but I have no idea about how much this kind of bass may cost used as it hardly unknown here in France.
I f anyone can help, that would be great !
Here are some pics of the lady :





Thanks !

I can't but you'll know of James Durand (durandassi, jd on statii.com) he's a big goodfellow fan. He might help if he's around or pm him.

Hi BassBus !
Thanks for your reply. That's a good idea. I know James owns recent Goodfellow basses which must cost much more than mine so I hope he can help anyway.
I'm not sure but from what I've read here and there, my Goodfellow might be a Lowden production, making the bass probably less valuable than a Bernie Goodfellow production.

Thanks again for your help !

Hi Edmouk!

A fine lady you have there! Price-wise, these seem to go for around £800 to about £1000.

Hope this helps!

Hi Edmouk,

Nice looking bass but I agree with you that it does look like it might be one of the Lowden-era Goodfellow basses from the 1990s. I remember back then buying one of the 5 string models for about £700 and it was a goo dbass but not really in the same class as one made by bernie himself.

I'd say that a second hand Lowden-era one now would be worth between £500-700, but that's a total, total guess!

Good luck with it,

Nik

Bonjour!

Stunning bass! But I'd say she's only worth about £100. I'll give you £150 though.

Just kidding. Good luck with the sale...beautiful bass.

Hi mates !

Thanks very much for your comments. This is really helpfull.
I think selling it around 600 £ could be a reasonable price considering that I had to replace the battery plate by a home-made one as it was missing when I got the bass. But this is the only "missing" part.

Best regards to everyone.

It's a Lowden era example.

500-700 seems like a fair price, you'll add a few hundred on for a Bernie example. You can tell by the headstock logo, the tuning pegs, the controls and the bridge.
