Time to streamline my Musicman collection


Rickster
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi, due to my current Bass collection getting very near 20 guitars, not to mention a Yamaha SBV800 I purchased on here earlier this week, I'm seriously running out of room, this has also been brought to my attention by the future Mrs Rickster.

So now is as good a time as any to streamline my current collection.

Given that I mostly seem to playing my Jazz's first to go is my Musicman collection.

I have attached a couple of images of each, but if anyone is intrested in any of the guitars on offer please mail me for additional images.

All 5 are in pristine condition and come with hard shell cases.

Thanks

[quote name='presoulnation' post='83343' date='Nov 3 2007, 11:23 PM']Any idea on how much for the 5'ers?[/quote]

Given that they are are both in excellent condition, I was thinking offer's over £800 was a reasonable price, given what they retail for.

If you want any addition pictures let me know.

Cheers.

After doing a bit of research with the serial numbers on a Musicman site, the Sunburst appears to be a 1998 and the Natural (which the pictures don't do justice as this Bass is the business) is a 2002.

If you need any more pictures please let me know.

[quote name='mistahbenn' post='83539' date='Nov 4 2007, 02:59 PM']How about some pics of the backs of the 5s please?

More images of the 5's as requested.

Both these guitars are in excellent condition and are kept in hard shell cases, there are no scratches, dings or dents to either of them.

If you require any more info let me know.

Cheers

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='83690' date='Nov 4 2007, 08:48 PM']How much for the HH4 and the traditional sunburst 4 please?[/quote]

The 4HH is the 2006 model with 3 band active EQ and the 5 way toggle switch, this guitar is pristine and has hardly been played, I think it made it to a rehersal once. Given that these are retailing between £1200 -£1400, I would be happy to see it go for £825.

The standard sunburst is a 2005 and is also in exceptional condition, although there is a tiny mark the size of a biro pen tip on the back near the bottom, this is only to the clear coat it does'nt make it throgh to the body. offers over £700 for this one.

Both come with Hard shell cases.

If you require more images let me know.

Cheers

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='84402' date='Nov 6 2007, 01:36 PM']I keep having a cursory glance at that 4HH - very nice. Just out of interest and not that it matters - are you a dealer Rickster?[/quote]

At first glance it would appear so, but unfortunately for me I only have two bedrooms and it's currently taken up with cases and amp's.

You know the story young single lad has own bacherlor pad full great of guitars, meets girl, falls in love, girlfriend moves in, then one day your hit with the question "why do you have so many guitars when you can only play one at once" and "wouldn't this make a great bedroom".

You know the rest, roll up roll up Musicman collection for sale.

With regards to been a Guitar Dealer, after the day I've had at work I kind of see the appeal.

I wish I had a pound for everytime that's happened to me...I'd be penniless :)

As stated earlier - nice basses Rickster, good luck with the sale. :huh:

Do you have any preferences? You clearly have some experience to share. I think you owe it to your host market members.


That's a disturbingly clean thumbnail you have there though :huh:[/quote]

With regards to preferences, I quite like playing the Bongo and the 4HH, but to be honest I've never played them live as I always play a Jazz.

Don't know why, but sometimes I take other guitars along as a second with the intention of playing them, but only ever get as far as the soundcheck. Comes time to go on I automatically grab my Jazz, must be a comfort thing.

However up until recently I always played a Geddy Lee, then I had a Jazz built from bits I bought and got a local Guitar builder to put it together for me and now it's turned into my numero uno. Sounds amazing must be the DiMarzio super Jazz's.

I have a Roland GW7 workstation keyboard,stand and a Boss BR 1200cd Digital recorder-seemed like a good idea at the time!!!!!I desperately need another SR5 or I dont know what will become of me!!!![/quote]

Sorry mic mac moe, but I need to sell them as I currently need the space and I already own a digital recorder that never gets used. (seemed like a good idea one Saturday afternoon, whilst standing in the local music shop).

I will be listing all five guitars on the Bay later today and are letting the five's go for £799 each. Bargain!

The Bongo sold this afternoon on the Bay, got £775 for it, which is'nt a bad price considering what everything else is going for.

With regards to the 4HH lets just say I got a good deal, in theory, but then you've got shipping and taxes to take into consideration, given what their selling for this is still a bargain as it's like new.
