Is there something wrong with my post above that said:-

"the guy is looking for £900" ?

The seller sent me this pm:-

du bist echt ne total arme wurst junge..unhöflich und dumm..wenn ich das hätte publik machen wollen , hätte ichd as getan du vollhonk

Anyone speak German and able to translate this?

[quote name='73Jazz' post='538765' date='Jul 12 2009, 08:15 PM']yes this is what i told you in a, what i thought privat message.
i said exactly..JV basses are sold around 900 gbp.
no manners..
maybe you do not know the prices for a 82 JV. It is definitely more than this 350 bucks you offered[/quote]


Sorry - no offense intended

the guy is looking for £900

Why has bidding for this reached over £200:-

When you can get a new one for less than £200, with free delivery:-

Ok I can see it comes with a gigbag, but thats worth say £10?

Madness

[quote name='birdy' post='537367' date='Jul 10 2009, 05:45 PM']Well in that case I think its a decent price. I have seen them go for £550 but thats rare. If you want a ray I would snap it up!

EDIT: You did make it clear, I just didn't read it properly [/quote]


Thanks Steve

[quote name='birdy' post='537359' date='Jul 10 2009, 05:37 PM']Depends how keen you are to sell in my opinion. I have one the same but 3 band eq and we valued it at £700 as part of a trade. £600 could be reasonable if you want to get rid.

Sorry maybe I did'nt make it clear - I am the potential buyer

I've been offerred one of these with a case.

It has a few dings, maple neck and the transition style bridge, 2 way pre-amp.

I've been offerred it for £600.

[quote name='bassbloke' post='537346' date='Jul 10 2009, 05:24 PM']One of these was very nearly my first 5 string bass.

Good job you did'nt get as this 5 string only has 4 strings - you' d have been disappointed by that missing B string no doubt!

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='509374' date='Jun 9 2009, 06:41 PM']Nice one - I think you got a great deal on it at the price it went for. If I'd had any money and a forgiving missus I'd have been bidding against you.[/quote]


PM me when you're ready and I might be ready to sell

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='508655' date='Jun 8 2009, 10:33 PM']Is that the one that was on ebay last week? If so - good to see you got that stones sticker off it.[/quote]

Thats the one

[quote name='beerdragon' post='508417' date='Jun 8 2009, 06:29 PM']That looks nice,not sure about the headstock though. how does it sound?[/quote]


Sounds very nice - woody edge to it - although the piezo is un-bufferred so its not very useable, but there is a modification that can be done to improve things.

Yeah, the headstock is a bit thrash metal, but i kinda like it

No PMT here, just a lovely Fender HMT in black.

Lace Sensor magnetic pup and piezo in the bridge.

[quote name='Shockwave' post='491811' date='May 18 2009, 08:18 PM']Ok i have pruned the thread.

Official warnings have been given out to gareth and mntl73

Please refrain from diverting the purpose of the thread.

Lysdexia is a very well respected member on the forum, and i hope it does not put him off future sales of his fine instruments and interesting sales techniques [/quote]


I can see that mntl73 was out of order, but what did gareth do?

I declare the parrot the winner!

pm'd but no reply yet

[quote name='R0ry' post='486284' date='May 12 2009, 07:39 PM']I'm looking at about £550-600. Open to offers.[/quote]


surprised this has not sold as it seems like a bargain

Don't want to be a party-pooper BUT I understood that the world wide recession/depression that has hit the UK and USA is now, after a lag period, hitting other countries such as Australia, NZ and South Africa. Only last week I was told the story of a heavily qualified master carpenter who 6 months ago had his arm bitten-off by the Australian's to go out and work there, but having put all the forms in some 6 weeks ago, they are now not interested.

Hope it works out for you.

Hi

Is the body solid wood or is it veneered?
