yorks5stringer Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) Not really, as that hand print is actually Mark King's..... Edited December 10, 2009 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kets Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Actually looks like a really nice instrument, but probably overpriced by about £500 IMO! I tried one of these about 16 years ago and loved it but wasn't in a position to buy. If only someone had one to sell at a good price... Sounds like the guy selling it doesn't know much about basses.

Shambo Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 One of the many overpriced guitars that click by unsold on ebay every week. First inclination is to pour scorn, but then you think about it from the sellers point of view. The majority of them probably don't want to sell, but need the money. Then they think of how much they paid for it originally and think of a figure they would have liked to pay for it.. unable to comprehend just how much of a buyers market it is out there these days... ...but I think this one might just be trying his hand.

The seller does the obligatory 37 seconds of internet research, and discovers that Status basses often fetch over £1000. Great, he thinks - this is a Status, but to move it quick, I'll price it just under that value. A slightly more cynical slant on that argument is that the seller actually knows the true value, but is hoping that he might find a buyer who doesn't.

martfitz Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 They're nice little basses for the money, I bought one a few years ago for £250, which is okay second hand. Either the owner doesn't know the true value or is trying to make a prize mug out of someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
