Conan Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Crikey! That's just showing off! That Ibanez is just like mine! He's asking a hell of a lot for it IMO.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platypus Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I like that '82 Ray - though he says its 'All Original', when theres clearly one foam mute missing from under the G ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen auctions for this seller before, although never this quantity in one go. His prices have always been pretty high in the past as well. I don't know if it's a cultural thing, but it seems to be quite common for some of the European sellers, especially Spain and Italy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Beppe is straight, and a good guy to deal with. His prices are high, but that's partly because his stock is superb and partly because the Euro exchange rate is so Godawful these days. I've dealt with him a few times over the last couple of years. His current stock list is nothing special for him. PS: He does take sensible offers pretty seriously.

Cat Burrito Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Some lovely basses in there. The prices are a little high but I'm sure there are people who will pay asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingeringAm Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 WOW. Theres not a nick on any of those basses! I ding mine just taking it out of the case. The Dakota P and Blackstar are giving me fits :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) That 72 telebass is fecking filth. I would kiss it in the mouth. Edit; Having looked closer, the neck pocket is a bit gappy, it's a refin and the pickguard is a repro, and looks like a crap fit. It's sort of filthy, and i'd peck it on the cheek. For a grand. And that Dakota red would get £800, and a candy apple red refin, with a gold anodised pickguard...also, the treble side of the neck socket has got a crimminal 'lip' - i'd get my luthier to shave that down flush with the neck... So, i'd probably just leave it, haha. Edited January 1, 2010 by AndyTravis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Having just looked at that lot, I am relieved that I can, in all good conscience, ask £1500 for my 74/75. However; That White 1970 re-fin with Rosewood and Pearl blocks has brought about a "What will I get for the car?" moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) I know a lot of these prices are screwed by the current exchange rate but some of this lot are nearly a grand more than they'd fetch over here at the moment. There's a good £500 on most of them anyway. With that kind of differential even making an offer seems kinda pointless. It'll be interesting to see if any of them sell. . .

Sibob Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yeah that 1970 OW is a beauty! But 2700 for a refinish? naaaaaa . And also, where has the truss gone in the end-of-the-neck picture The '68 Jazz is also very nice, non-original tuners from wrong era kinda ruins it though haha.

Happy Jack Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I nearly bought the OW re-fin when it was listed by its previous owner on German eBay in September. Beppe (Giuseppe) bought it and is now offering it at a suitable mark-up for his profit. I haven't got a problem with someone who likes to trade basses. I see one in my shaving mirror every day.

Marky L Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yup It was me looking at a Blackstar before and it went too rich for me in the end. The one he has is lovely, but stupidly overpriced. Even taking into account no duty to pay, it's significanly pricier than the US one I had to walk awya from. I have emailed him a link to the US one just sold, and the guide price from 2010 Vintage Guitar book (thanks Si!). So we'll see what he comes back with. He rates it as "Near Mint".. but it has some obvious cracking/crazing to the paint, would that still keep it at NM status? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
