Absolutely agree that there is a massive range of desirability in the range and some will certainly be of higher value than others but as a point of reference to the (non-UK) OP, an 'average' Ray can be had at or around the price I stated. Many folks do hold out for a higher/better price and if it is in a nice colour/combo then they might get it but there's equally as many that don't sell. Bringing in commission sales or shop prices takes it to a different place as the OP was talking about selling privately from the States to the UK.

Sadly you can look through ebay & BC sales and find lots of examples (not just the odd mut) for sale at £850, in fact getting more than £850 would be a result!

£150 (ish) for shipping + 25-30% taxes + cites (possibly); an average Ray in the UK (not pre EB) is £850 ($1100). You'd need to sell it for approx $600 - $650.... In short, no!

Shame they didn't reduce the 2x10... I own a pair but at these prices I'd replace old for new.

You pay peanuts, you get...

TBH once you get into the realms of declared ratings they are written on snakeoil paper by Mickey Mouse. Added to which you could have a 1000w 20lb cab but it might sound cack! OK if you just want to compare numbers but in the real world of limited use... oh I'm an old cynic!

Just seen your bass on ebay! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Godin-A4-LR-Baggs-electric-acoustic-lightweight-hybrid-bass-hard-case-MODDED/303004822118?epid=17027311638&hash=item468c7eaa66:g:pggAAOSwPWtcHQ9r:rk:37:pf:0

Answered my own question...

I'm sure I recognise this Godin bass as being from this forum. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Godin-A4-LR-Baggs-electric-acoustic-lightweight-hybrid-bass-hard-case-MODDED/303004822118?epid=17027311638&hash=item468c7eaa66:g:pggAAOSwPWtcHQ9r:rk:37:pf:0

I initially thought it was a fake (I ignored the stupid price and his ramblings) but it could well be genuine... not that anyone will be daft enough to pay that price!

I've had the same bass (+many others) on a wall hanger (securely fixed) for 26 years and it's done it no harm and that has been in 4 different houses with variations in heating/ventilation.

Spot on deal with Cal, no issues... even recommends cracking eateries when your visiting.

Is it April 1st?

I've had fingers crossed since I typed that!

I wouldn't think that your bass has a 2 way rod especially with a nut on a threaded rod.

You get one and two way rods; 1 way rods counter string tension and takes relief out when you tension/tighten it (tightening is 'usually' clockwise BUT sometimes is counterclockwise). 2 way rods have a mid -point and depending on whether you turn one way or the other it can add/subtract relief. I'm discounting necks with 2 parallel rods. If you know what you are doing and you don't go daft, sometimes you need to apply relief into the neck with pressure before tensioning the truss rod BUT you'll need to be sure which way your rod is operating!

Very true and when I first used Transferwise I was very wary and kept looking for the catch; they weren't making enough money out of my transfer and sadly that made me suspicious... we expect to be scr3wed when using fiscal institutions.

That's true but as someone who has fallen foul of unscrupulous buyers (not on BC) buying, paying PP then claiming money back as item wasn't as described (PP always find for the buyer), I'd not accept PP as a payment means! BTW in my case the item was returned to me but it WASN'T the item I posted to the buyer (I assume they had a broken one, bought mine and sent their broken one back) but I've heard of various ways that PP can be turned against a seller.

No buyer or seller protection. I's just a simple money transfer system.

Also used Transferwise with no hassle and WAY cheaper than PP or bank charges.

I don't think they can lack in pure volume but the actual tone may not suit everyone (hides behind barricade and raises hand).
