Beedster Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 [quote name='ian' post='747026' date='Feb 16 2010, 11:10 AM']is this over priced ? many thanks[/quote] I think you should sell for what you think it's worth Ian, plenty of basses are listed for months on here before they go. I've heard from a member whose played it that it's an outstanding bass, so probably not something you want to let go cheap. Problem as far as most are concerned I imagine is the battery compartment. I think some pics of what's under the both the non-original plate on the back and the pickguard might help? That plate on the back doesn't scream minor mod! As soon as a vintage bass gets modded it either gets very hard to sell at a decent price (as you're finding), or has to be sold a bit cheaper. If it's all original you could probably get a decent price splitting it and selling on ebay to be honest (check out what the US dealers get for their '70s Fender parts, mad). To be honest, it's not a great time to be selling full stop anyway! Good luck mate Chris
ian Posted February 16, 2010 Author Posted February 16, 2010 many thanks chris for the feedback i have just orderd a new battery compartment which will fit straight into the hole .it did have one when i bought the bass from the gallery but i took it out and lost it .but the gallery did tell me the bass is all original and it was up for the price of £1800 i still have the receipt to .like i say it probverly does look a bit scary so the battery compartment is on order and ill post a pic with the hole exposed .many thanks again for the feed back to you and molan
