mistahbenn Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 OK Guys, I really do need to let this beautiful bass go, it has only been in existance since 23/07/07 its not really even broken its cherry in yet... Life has got in the way and I need the money. I realise the market is slow at this time of year, so Im putting the $$$$ to £1900 + post, Sei bass have just put their prices up by 15% so this really is a steal, and without the 12 month waiting time... People are welcome to come a hold her, im based in the NW.. Cheers, Benn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozbass Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) I agree with CS2 - if there's any way you can, try to keep it. I have an almost identical flamboyant (different woods of course) - I picked it up for a little over 1200 and it had been on sale for more than a year (perfect condition, exquisite bass in every dimension). From what I see, residuals are bottoming out, especially in niche markets. 'Property values, market jitters and seasonal adjustment starting to hit the luxury goods market? I can understand there are pressures, but will you find anything as good or better - and your playing/technique certainly justifies something of this calibre.
