    Do you have the treble knob? (ie the buyer has to get a pot and use the existing knob?). Are the parts available via NS dealers or direct?

    [quote name='Machines' post='1287567' date='Jun 30 2011, 12:34 PM']That's not my interpretation of it. Even if that is the seller's intention - it doesn't give the green light for people to publicly question the price of the item.[/quote] OK I've deleted my comments and reported the original post

    I know one isnt supposed to comment etc but... Wouldnt it be cheaper/better to trade in one of your basses for a new natural Stingray?

    OK, thanks, bon chance and have a bump on me

    Personally I won't consider any damage to the neck and this includes dings, chips and even discolouration. The body can look like it's been dragged around a gravel car park... THe market is slow and I've been looking for a while for a bass and I'm not committing. I need a bass for a short term project and I'm not going to buy one if the prices tank further when I come to sell it.

    LOL thanks

    If it's serial number 053, it's my old one. Actually I'd rather not know...

    [quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1164096' date='Mar 16 2011, 09:27 AM']Yep, it's annoying. I'd rather be open to bartering and a broader range of offers, but I spent several days trying to barter with a guy before I withdrew this and he was just not willing to be at all reasonable. I ended up offering him the maximum I've ever seen his bass go for second hand and knocking an extra £50 off the price of mine and he still wasn't interested unless I knocked £100+ off to match the price of a 4 string version he saw on eBay. I'm prepared to work out a deal but he wanted me to give it away and instead of making a proper offer so I could accept/reject, he dragged it out as long as possible while I was trying to be accomodating. This is still here. I'l look at any 5ers, any trade offers will get extra marks for any of the following though: Maple board. MM (or similar) pup(s). 2 pups. Red/Black/Natural body. I'll take a serious look at any reasonable offers though.[/quote] I have sold cheaply and taken partial trades of stuff I sold later because for various reasons I had to sell quickly. If you don't need to shift the bass right now, you should get a reasonable deal. Patience, now if I knew what that was...

    Consider this a bump... I am guilty of keeping my money in the bank at the moment and I'm not really sure why as my sole bass is an Ashbory and I really need something more substantial. Maybe it' s all the spending cuts... Anyhoo, IMHO there's always been an element that seem to think that a trade is valuing there bass more than new retail and yours lower than a dealer cash price. Stick out for a good trade or keep it. That is all...
  16. CS2
    That would be because I sent it to the wrong bloke. Don't tell anyone I think I have got away with it
  17. CS2
    Very interested and very near (Luton), you have a PM

Case in point I do my best not to be a cock and have bought and sold lots here and met and had pleasant chat with many people including Clarky, Flanker and the bloke I sold a Graphic Fuzz to whose name I forgot but me, my daughter and him sat in a pub garden in Ealing drinking Strawberry beer. BTW we are coming out of a recession... Edit forgt Birdy had coffee with him.

    Bearing in mind that people can ask what they want for their items.. A while back you would see something go up at a price, stay that way for a while and then be reduced once or twice and then sold or pulled. Now there are items with a 'not reducing' statement and they either sell or not. My conclusion is that things are not so bad that people have to sell gear, they want to. I personally have money in the bank for a bass and I know what one I want. I also have not seen one for the price I will pay for it. That's not the sellers fault, it's my expectation based on what I think is fair for that item. I think that is the case with a lot of (non) buyers. BTW when I have sold I have either ono'd or taken something as a partial trade and then sold it on later.

    I have a blue one and at this point is my sole bass. I use it for a jam band in London. I go on the train, play for 4 hours, drink for 6 and manage to get home with the Ashbory. Smashing!!! IMHO it's a bass instrument so you play bass on it. Sounds simple but how many of us slap tap play chords harmonics etc? I did. If you leave that out and play for example previously mentioned walking lines or something with a little movement the Ashbory works. It aint going to do all music styles but it suits me and I also borrow a Precision when I need a real bass.

    I dont usually make random comments of sales threads but that bass is stunning and I dont like maple!!!

    I bought one new serial number 053 in April 1988. I had some work on it at the factory in 1989. They were just introducing the Series 4000 (which was the same bass but with a plastic body in various paint colours). So 1988-1989 maybe 1990. The Series 3000 had a natural finish and came in three wood options, walnut, cherry and utile mahogany. If your bass is headless and has the natural finish it's a 3000 except for one bass that was (re)finished in sky blue. If it has a solid colour it's probably a 4000. Another similar bass was made, this was the headed Matrix bass, around 90 92 ??? It's a long time ago but maybe this gives you and overview of the bass. Oh btw it was a fantastic bass and I traded mine in 97 for a fretless Warwick.

    Flanker is a gentleman and good to deal with. He also knows his boutique jazz basses...
