benthos Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hi All, I'm thinking of selling/trading my corvette standard 4 string (2003 German made model) for a jazz-style bass. Unlike a lot of folks on here I have don't have in-depth experience of the second-hand market so am struggling to come to a decision on what would be a reasonable asking price for it and what I could expect as potential trades. I understand that under the rules I need to state a sale price if I post an ad. Any advice/opinions on this would be really helpful - thanks in advance!

josh3184 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 depending on condition I'd guess about £350-400? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Depends on a few things like finish and condition, but I would pitch it at about that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finish-wise, it is 'Ocean Blue' transparent oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
