vincbt started following 1997 Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Unlined Fretless 2eq - *SOLD* , Is this the end for the boutique bass? , Warwick Thumb NT 1989 and 5 others

It really depends, sometimes you'll come across a boutique bass that goes around in circles, and it has no end really!

These don't really come up often for sale. Last one I saw was from a dealer who was looking at close to £2,000. I would have thought for a private sale it would clear somewhere in the £1,600-1,800 allowing for some inflation. It really depends however on how much you want it, it's definitely a bass that you want to snap up when you come across it if it feels right. I have been keeping an eye out myself for a faded sonic blue one and they just don't seem to get sold!

I am selling my Warwick Thumb NT from 1989. This is the fourth Thumb I own, as it took me a while to settle on an early 4-strings NT with 2 bands eq. Unfortunately I had surgery to my left shoulder and the ergonomics of the bass (long reach to 1st fret) really don’t work anymore for me. Body is bubinga, neck laminated wenge/bubinga, EMG pickups, 2-band MEC electronics, black Schaller hardware. The bass comes with its Rockbass gigbag. I don’t have the exact weight (can check) but it’s definitely heavy! Located in Paris, but also available for sale in London. EU shipping possible at buyer’s risk, no UK shipping. Priced at 2200 EUR / 2000 GBP any questions, please let me know!

I was there on Saturday night, he was playing what looked like a 68-73 sunburst P bass with both covers on

I’m selling my Fender Custom Shop 1961 Jazz Bass in faded sonic blue over sunburst, stack knobs. It comes with its case and the case candy (as shown). Currently strung with TI flats. I bought it in 2024 from BassBros, I love the finish but I find myself always reaching for the Precision, so I can’t justify having it. I am based in France, but I travel to London regularly. Collection in Paris preferred, shipping within the EU or collection in London also possible. Sorry but no UK shipping. The price is 3400 EUR or 2800 GBP, shipping excluded. Trades I’d consider only: Fender Custom Shop Precision relic (not sunburst) Possibly also Fender AVRI Precision 2013-2017 in faded sonic blue + cash my way Fender AVRI Jazz from the same series + cash Any questions, let me know! Thanks

No, I bought it on here from someone who had bought it on here from someone else who bought it on Reverb. There’s probably a longer chain onwards so my thinking is the same as yours so far, probably a swap at some point in his life

The bass sale that turned a (massive) corner… - *SOLD*

I have the opposite situation on my Precision, and I am not 100% sure how to explain it. The pots are 66 The serial number would point to 69 (264XXX) The neck is 71 I would have thought the neck plate with the serial number should be the last thing to go on together with the neck, so why would anyone put a 69 plate on a 71 neck escapes me...

I am selling my Wilcock Mullarkey in black limba. I believe it was built in October 2023. I only bought it a few months ago, but as much as it’s a great bass I prefer to stick to long scale for now. It has black hardware, Schaller bridge and Gotoh tuners. The bass comes with with its original hard case. I (and the bass) am based in France, but I travel to London regularly. I'd much prefer collection in Paris, or a meet in London when I am there, but I can also ship within the EU - no UK shipping sorry, it would require too much logistic. The price is 2700 EUR or 2200 GBP, shipping excluded. This is what I paid for it and I think it priced it correctly, but happy to hear sensible offers if not. Any questions, please ask. Thanks for looking.

I will come to regret this, but I am selling my Music Man fretless Stingray. It is a 1997 model in sunburst (honeyburst really, but it was called sunburst at the time), with pau-ferro neck and 2-band EQ. I bought this bass from the Bass Center in Paris in January 2023 (happy to supply the receipt), but I don't need a fretless anymore and this just cannot sit in a corner taking dust. The bass comes with 3 pickguards: black, paerloid white and clear. I don't really have a case for this, but I am happy to buy a gig bag in case I need to transport it. I (and the bass) am based in France, but I travel to London regularly. I'd much prefer collection in Paris, or in London when I am there, but I can also ship within the EU - no UK shipping sorry, it would require too much logistic. The price is 2000 EUR or 1700 GBP, shipping excluded. Any questions, please ask. Thanks for looking.
