NS Wav4 radius, as new condition, picked it up off a forum member and probably picked it up a dozen times, piezo pick up in conjunction with EMG, lots of tonal range, very clever tuning system, as new with NS gig bag and original receipt, looking for a natural/maple stingray or Fender road worn P or J with cash adjustments
So I was after a USA Ray (and probably still am) but I picked this up from Gafbass02 (top man by the way) I added a tort guard, what a bass! Sounds and plays lovely (38mm at the nut), now I’ve had American stingrays before and this ain’t far away, along with the Chinese CV P bass (pictured) which also plays great, these Indonesian & Chinese basses have come such a long way, build quality is excellent
Status Empathy 4, neck through in absolute stunning condition, zero fret wear, walnut burl, apart from a couple of scratches this could pass as new, the action is low and neck relief perfect (no truss rods on these early status), I won’t bore you with the ‘Status not producing anymore graphite’ as I’m sure anyone interested knows that🤷♂️
Spot on! Sold rarely means it was sold for what it was advertised for, re ‘rich person’ I sold a status for quite a lot! I could have asked more as the guy was going to have it no matter what (quite a wealthy gentleman as it transpired) but it didn’t matter he paid what I advertised it for so fair dinkum and buyers like that are few and far between (but of course there is the Status kool aid thing going on atm) 🤣🤷♂️
Saw a house, liked it……oh wait, let’s make an offer, offer accepted, super happy bunny with the Porsche 911 I bought with the money I saved🤷♂️ why wouldn’t you
Love this………..”I don’t like to haggle, if I think it’s a fair price” well what if it ain’t and you want it’? 🤦 really! Nahhhh I just like to give my hard earned cash away😡 even if it’s ‘any movement on price’ or ‘would you include postage’ hardly insulting, yes I’ve dealt with some great ppl on here but c’mon🫤
Going off on a tangent slightly too, I’ve just picked up a Classic Vibe (Chinese) P and it’s as good as anything 3 times the price, mebbe there’s just no need to spend large amounts of money anymore? Have Chinese/Indonesia guitars just shot up in quality? I’ve just sold an early series 2000 status for what I think is a lot of money! And seriously……..they ain’t that good and I’m sorry but in what world is a Wal worth £8k+ ???
I’m after a nice stingray at the moment and I know what I think they’re worth and what I’m prepared to pay and I really do think bassbros has an influence on this site as to what ppl think their stuff is worth recently, now I’ve been keeping an eye out and Bassbros’s stingrays seen to be creeping up! Do you agree this has a knock on effect to private sellers on Basschat? Japanese P & jazz asking prices seem to be creeping up near £1k when American versions seem to pop up regularly for under that 🤷♂️ and………. don’t even get me started on Status & Wal🤣🤦
but, in re-cap it definitely seems slow out there too
NS Wav Radius 4, I bought this recently here and have probably picked it up 5 or 6 times, Ive put it back up for sale at what I bought it for £500, it’s just not getting any use🤷♂️ as new condition, really clever tuning system and super comfortable radius/contoured body and light (please excuse me using the original pics)
I get that and their service is not in question at all and I’ve chatted to Will also…. ‘bloody lovely bloke’ as the OP says I’m curious on the effect on prices🤷♂️
