We're glad to have you here Mark if you want to participate, and you can price the bass at whatever you like, but in my opinion your price for the bass is way off. Look around at what the parts cost on the used market, what you typically see used Warmoth basses sell for, factor in that you can buy a new Nash bass for less than you're selling this used bass for, consider what other basses are in the $2500 price range both new and used.

Look at what a used Lakland sells for vs. what they sell for new.

By all means try for the best price you can get, but don't be surprised if the bass doesn't sell at your asking price.

Dudes, Rockbass was kidding. :)


Thanks for pointing that out. :roll:


Unfortunatelly, every high priced bass loses about 50% of its price, when it is used.
Even if it is still flawless.

Except if it is a very rare vintage instrument.
If there are only a few left and many who are willing to pay a high price. The price could rise above its price, when the bass was new.

Like Einstein so truely said : Everything is relative.

That price point might seem high for some people and it might be justified for someone who's dying to own a bass like this and can't find something similar to his taste anywhere else. I'm not saying that the price is THE perfect price but you never know.

Plus I'm not in a hurry to sell.

And like I said, I might consider any reasonable offer.

So thanks for the greetings and for having me here. Seems like a great place and I'll be hanging around.


Mark

I heard about him only last week actually. I believe he has a shop here in Mtl but he is right now with Celine in Vegas I believe as a guit tech.

I don't know the name of his shop.

despite the price, i guess that one key element that could convince someone to buy the bass is the sound.

i would spend 2000+ $ if the bass nails the sound of a 60s precision or at least the sound of a fender custom shop, but unless you publish some kind of sample i don't think people is ready to spend that money for an unknown brand precision bass
