Have a bump on me! Just bought one of these from a fellow BCer and I have to say they are lovely quality basses with beautiful tones!

Yes, its been well looked after. Will be sad to see it go but with my recent Sadowsky and Fender Jazz arriving it's not getting the work out it deserves sadly. Open to reasonable offers. Cheers, Steve. [quote name='NAS' post='620415' date='Oct 8 2009, 11:42 AM']That's a sweet looking instrument - looks to be in great condition. I assume this is the same instrument as mentioned in your other thread?[/quote]

As far as I am concerned the matter is closed and I am not going to waste more time on this, as I have stated before if you feel its too much then don't bid! If you want to give me some friendly advice on the price, then fine please do so, but please PM them to me rather than putting your personal point of view. You may feel £600 is too much, somone else might not. Also £600 is a starting point if someone offers me less I may accept it I didn't for one minute think someone would offer me the full asking price and does anyone who sells? the point is this forum isn't the lets sell our basses for rock bottom prices, you feel the £350 you paid is a fair price for a £650 bass I think you did very well particularly if its fairly new, currently the Laklands on E-bay are all at the £600+ mark and some of them are second hand. Ultimately there is no way I am going to sell a 3 week old bass for a 50% mark down price!

Hi Lance, I couldn't fit them all in the picture, I have a few more to put up, bear with me and I'll try to get the pics done today. Cheers, Steve. [quote name='harlowbassplayer' post='620125' date='Oct 7 2009, 11:44 PM']hello im confused sorry where is the fender black jazz bass in the photo cause i only see the marcus miller jazz sig Lance PS it doesnt take alot to confuse me lol[/quote]

Blimey this has stirred up a nest, and all at my expense. Just because Mike managed to get a Lakland for a real bargain price does that mean I must sell mine for some 50% off - for a 3 week old instrument!? I have now requested all these personal comments be removed! [quote name='largo' post='620302' date='Oct 8 2009, 10:05 AM']But Google very rarely give market value on second hand goods. Mike did give an indication of what he'd sold his 55-01's on the pre-owned market.[/quote]

Thanks Mike, you are quite right. I fully expect not to sell for £600 but I think everyone should put up some kind of starting point. Personal opinions should be sent to me privately and not put on a sales thread at my expense. If someone was struggling to find a Lakland in my finish that they really wanted for example and had tried a few shops (we have all done it) to no avail and was prepared to offer me £600 or close, thats their choice and mine to accept reject it. I bet I could do what they have done to every sale on here, the point is if I think a price is high I just walk away and don't bid. People are putting up personal opinions and making decisions on what is a fair price and what isn't Its not like I am putting up a Fender Squire and asking a grand for it! I am hoping a Moderator will send me a message as I feel the rule you have highlighted pertains to this issue. I have nothing against people having points of view but make them to the Mods or me personally. Cheers, Steve. [quote name='lonestar' post='620160' date='Oct 8 2009, 12:14 AM']I'd like to sympathise with you Mr Bassatnight but you have too many nice basses and it serves you right Seriously though I thought the policy on here was not to quibble over sellers prices in public and as you say effectivelystitch up honest members who just want to sell their stuff. If you don't like the price don't buy or if you feel that you must offer advice because someone is taking the wotsit then surely a PM would be more appropriate. Any moderators advice here? Good luck with your sale. Mike Edit: This from the market place guidlines "5. If you believe the price of the item is too cheap/expensive, then please PM the seller as to why. Do not ridicule or undermine the seller by posting how much you think it's worth or how much it can be gotten for elsewhere, the laws of supply and demand will determine if the item sells at that price". I rest my case[/quote]

Thanks for the kind message Gareth, sanity at last! [quote name='Musicman20' post='620122' date='Oct 7 2009, 11:40 PM']Hey I hate the way retailers have such different prices, I know your frustration. I got quoted a lot more for my Lakland ive ordered everywhere else I went, luckily I got a really good price. Good luck with the sale. Gareth[/quote]

Right, I am getting slowly peed off with this. I paid £669 from GAK for this bass three weeks ago and am trying to recoup as much as I can, who wouldn't? Like you guys I can find any bass if I look hard enough for cheaper as we all can. If you don't want to pay £600 for it then don't, if you can get it cheaper elsewhere then good for you go ahead and do it. I am up for bids, but what is the point of stitching a fellow chat member up by making personal comments about finding it cheaper elsewhere, I think we are all adult enough to shop around as is everyones right. I hope if you guys sell anything on here someone doesn't do the same to you. I am not a shop, just a bass player trying to sell an instrument for a price that is less than I paid for it. I shall take this post down now as it's well and truly stitched up! I hope the mods will look into this kind of helpful advice for sellers!

With respect I bought it under a month ago that in my book is pretty new! thank you for your views and your helpful advice. [quote name='Mike' post='620009' date='Oct 7 2009, 09:48 PM']With respect, I can get this exact bass new for that- might be difficult to sell s/h for that price, in these times I'm afraid. I sold my 55-01 dlx for around £500 and bought a 55-01 regular for £380 not so long ago. Great basses though![/quote]

A stunningly beautiful Overwater Perception for sale. In excellent condition with mighty pups providing a sweet tone or if required a very dark bottom! Comes with hardcase (including the lock keys!) Looking for £700 price includes courier

Due to recent acquisitions I find myself no longer having room for a few basses; here we have a month old brand new Lakland 44-01 with supplied Lakland gig bag. The bass is totally mint and unplayed bar tuning it. It has lovely robust Hipshot tuners in gun metal and comes in a beautiful natural finish. I am looking for £600. Not looking for trades.

Pics will be on tonight, price for the Jazz is £375 plus courier. [quote name='harlowbassplayer' post='619622' date='Oct 7 2009, 02:53 PM']you got any pic of the black jazz bass and a price Lance[/quote]

I'll be sticking up better pics of the basses tonight, but as you asked, the Lakland is £600 and the Jazz will be £375. [quote name='pal1972' post='619651' date='Oct 7 2009, 03:22 PM']how much for the lackie and the jazz?? are you looking at straight sales or trades??[/quote]

Its not a seller, sorry. I just can't fault it. Sadowsky's really are worth the money in my opinion. [quote name='ikay' post='619649' date='Oct 7 2009, 03:20 PM']If you do ever decide to sell the Sadowsky please let me know .. I'm looking for an exceptionally good black/maple jazz[/quote]

Sorry the Sadowsky is not for sale! unless you have £1200 to get rid off! Its the best Jazz I have ever played!
