What do you need doing ?

And we were trying to explain that spending in the wrong place can actually cost more. That said - @Mands, if you have to pick from the limited over priced offerings on Very - they're all effectively the same, pick which ever looks best.

You will pay much more using Very on instalments than other places, their APR is 10% higher than most credit cards.

That's some very prospective pricing.

Correct. Generally available on 2nd hand market for apx £250. There's an overpriced one here, however this is the 2nd edition which has humbuckers not the single coils of the one pictured. There's also a 5 string model here, at about the right price. I have a RBX765A which is from 1997, got it for £200 (mega cheap) earlier this year on Facebook Marketplace - it's my main 'do it all' instrument and it would make a great instrument at any level.

I tried a red 4 string Jazz a few weeks ago in GG. Setup wasn't great and didn't allow me to get a great feel, but it didn't feel like it was worth the price to me.

Very unique, why don't you tell us more about it ?

Welcome to the forum. That is a pro level instrument, so you have saved yourself a bit of faffing buying a beginner bass and finding limitations with it and losing money on that, upgrading etc.

Yep stunning, totally up my street. Unlike the price.

Someone went to a lot of effort to big up that instrument. Bless.

Anyone who can read Russian knows this song is really called Absuryad. Sounds like junk tbh.

Anti-flood protection. Mostly annoying when you made a typo and want to correct it quickly or want to try a new string, but bearable generally

Yet they get a lot of 2nd hand stuff on the website, do not underestimate that people want the new shiny thing now, not after they've patiently sold things at the right price.

I got one in dark green for a ridiculous £250 from an obscure guitar shop in the depths of Shropshire. It was nice, but the headstock dive was a dealbreaker.

Law came in Jan 2017, no way is this 4 year old stock. I keep a regular eye on GG website, this isn't that old.

True, but this is a brand new instrument, so I can see CITES applying to it as it has passed through the USA.

What bass is it on ? Laurel hasn't been used much AFAIK until CITES came in. If it's a few years old, could very well be rosewood. EDIT: I'm guessing this Lakland 55-01 , the Lakland website states they are Indian Laurel

Thanks for answering the posters query 12 years later 😁

I've sold about a dozen instruments over the years through them. Price high and drop over time if no interest. Not sure about post Brexit, but most of the sales went to Europe. If it's in good condition, 75% of new price isn't out of the question, minus their commission. I've sold one at full retail price after owning for 4 years, they were still available new too. Totally depends on brand and popularity though.

I'm unsure. With the price of new gear rising quite ridiculously (£1k+ for what was £600 a few years ago), as such 2nd hand stuff is going up too (in shops at least). I've not grabbed any bargains for a few months now. In regards to the OP, if it's in your way and you won't make a big loss, get rid. Price is utterly dependant on brand, current availability, location etc etc.

Hey @Rayman, think I've got a pic of you with Alan, Mike and me from a bash in 2006 😁

It's just the lighting. Definitely orange.
