    I appreciate that it's not your bass, but please note that Joe's name is OSBORN.

    I also recommend uploading a bunch of hi-res photos to a Photobucket account (or similar) and then linking this For Sale listing to those photos.

  7. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1321552' date='Jul 30 2011, 06:27 PM']Now I think this is a serious point and possibly the route of both bass and car buying troubles. If Im selling something and look at the market value (another can of worms I know) but for arguments sake lets say Im selling my 2002 Ray, I guess current value would be £700-850 so in my mind any advertised for the upper price should be mint,cased and setup well (to your terms if you like of nut being right no bad frets etc) after that any negatives should then be deducted from there, so unless its advertised as needs a setup/strings (some are which is fair enough) I take that as its already good maybe not my taste but no issues as such. What many sellers do is start at the top then wait to get some interest and be knocked down on any issues.

    All of my basses have stayed put for years never needing any work other than a seasonal truss tweak or an action adjustment due to my changing preference, Even the Ray 5 can take a gauge change without fuss. Many people seam to go on as if these full setups need doing every five minutes?[/quote]

    I,m with you on last point a good setup should last years ,and totally agree on items at top of price bracket should come with no issues whatsoever

  8. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1321428' date='Jul 30 2011, 04:20 PM']A setup and a service are different, If parts need servicing/or replacing like on a car thats fair enough but tweaking a neck and raising the action does not compare IMO.[/quote]
    depends on what is done on setup and adjustments are made during services are they not and parts are replaced if required during a proper setup if required. intonation may need setting, nut may need filing to suit, there is more involved then tweaking a neck and adjusting saddles sorry but guess we will have to agree to disagree

  9. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1321369' date='Jul 30 2011, 03:19 PM']I have never had a good setup from a shop ever infact PMT 'looked over' the Ray 5 while I was paying and they made it worse infact it had no tension in the truss rod at all. I can make minor changes and the rest is done by a mate more clued up than me for mates rates (food, labour or just general begging etc). You can only really learn by having a go whilst being shown too IMO, How do they know what you want or do they set it up and people just get used to that guys personal setup?[/quote]

    Depends on who has done setup, saying its worthless is like stating a service carried out on a car you where buying was a waste of time. asking extra is not on though, should mean bass comes with no unexpected issues if done by someone who has had either correct training or working knowledge of whats required and that can be difficult to find sometimes, and yes personal tastes would dictate an optimum setup but a general once over from someone who knows what is req does have value in my opinion.
