[quote]Well...
£1300 is a lot of money (regardless of the value of the bass) so there are only going to be a limited number of people with that kind of cash...
...and for those with the cash, there are a LOT of great basses with very modest price tags at the moment.
...and you're in Belgium which means anyone interested, has no-chance to try it which is not ideal for an expensive bass.
And being in Belgium just adds shipping onto the price. Plus difficulty if the buyer is dissapointed.
It may be one, or all of these reasons. ...or maybe it's overpriced. I dunno. I was interested enough to look myself, but will probably keep looking for something for a while longer. Ironically I may be in the market for a clunky old Fender if I can see the right one. But it's a buyers market at the moment so I'll sit tight for a while I reckon.
Good luck with the sale. I would suggest patience. I'm sure the right person will come along, but you may have to wait.

If I may...... It seems like your're so far away from the rest of the EU and it is something scary.
I bought my bass in Switzerland and drove all the way just to check this wonderfull bass. If it was crap I would have left it there. Still, after some 7 years now, I don't regret the trip and treasure this bass. For an important instrument in GB I would do the same, the tunnel is something like 50 pounds for a day retour and going to the south of GB is the same distance for me as going to france or Germany, not a big deal to the value and pleasure you will have on getting a fine instrument. There are no worries for taxes or things like that. If you see a fine instrument, go for it.
my 2 cts....
Cheers!
