[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='980500' date='Oct 7 2010, 01:24 PM']End of the day mate its your bass and you can sell it for what you like regardless - on here its going to be well researched before purchase, you'd be a moron to fork out £1400 on a whim or you'd have to have a soft spot for it. It says the bass was sold in July this year, so there won't be a great change anyway. You don't want an opinion, don't ask for it.[/quote] I asked an opinion on how much people thought it was worth in the current market. It wasnt me who mentioned £1400. I just didnt see why you needed to say whoever pays £1400 for this is a moron, and that you didnt like the colour. Understandable? Certainly didnt intend to cause any trouble. Sorry if it seems that way. Im well aware people will research it, and this is the whole reason im asking. If i did sell, id want it to be a fair price.

[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='980474' date='Oct 7 2010, 12:59 PM']If its second hand, £1400 is too steep - I would just buy a custom shop one and look past yours. Despite being a lovely bass, I don't like the natural ones.[/quote] Lol, cheers for giving people an alternative, when im only looking for an estimate of how much its worth!

[quote name='Doctor J' post='980447' date='Oct 7 2010, 12:34 PM']How much was the item you traded?[/quote] I cant honestly remember. About £1k mark. Ive swapped a lot of basses, so cant remember for definite, which one i swapped for this. But after time value changes doesnt it? Depending on how sought after they are? Thats kind of what im trying to gauge

[quote name='Bassassin' post='980352' date='Oct 7 2010, 11:25 AM']Realistically, if you bought it here, it's worth what you paid for it. Jon.[/quote] I didnt buy it. It was a trade, so i thought id ask what they are worth now, to get a general idea

[quote name='bubinga5' post='979606' date='Oct 6 2010, 04:58 PM']£5...ill take it...but seriously there £1400 + now..never seen this color combo on a 75 RI....you have a very desirable bass, especially in TTS...its not easy to say but i would put it up for £1000 and see where it goes..this may seem steep but its a rare color and people will pay... its a buyers market, but when you got a bass like that, the balance tips somewhat... to be honest im fed up with seeing people having to sell basses so cheap.... any pics?[/quote] Yeh,i have a load of pictures, but they are in an email. Like i said, ive no idea how to get them up on here sorry. Can forward the email if youd like a peek though pm me an address if your keen. Thanks for the advice too, much appreciated!

Im not sure where the right place to post this is, so if it is in the wrong area, i apoligise Anywhos......I have a 75Ri Fender jazz. MiA. Case is original (G&G) but there are no 'extras' (not sure if the chrome covers were included with this early model, but they're not there now).Bass is in exceptional condition for year ('99) and plays really great. I was looking to see how much people thought these are worth now as im looking to get a 5 string. Its quite rare in the 3Ts/burst, and was previously owned by Eubassix. Still in exactly the same condition as i had it off him, its been well looked after! I have got pictures of it, but dont know how to put them up on here (such a luddite) . i can however email them if needed. Thanks in advance for any help i may get! Kert

Absolutely kicks ass.[/quote] I have the MB4410. Like Nick said, great combo! Little too heavy for me though, Thats the only reason im selling mine. If your back can handle it, youll love it. Served me brilliantly over the last year for all my gigs

[quote name='Dandelion' post='728133' date='Jan 28 2010, 09:32 PM'][u][b]BISCUIT FACT[/b][/u] The industry standard test to ascertain the difference between a biscuit and a cake is thus. Left in the open atmosphere of standard temperature and pressure, A biscuit will become softer. A cake however will become harder. This was used in the Jaffa cake affair to persuade the powers that be that their product was in fact a cake and not a biscuit, saving themselves a fair old whack in tax. Apparently, There is no VAT on cakes, but a chocolate covered biscuit attracts VAT as a luxury item.[/quote] Someone watches Qi!! Cool pedals by the way!!

Loved the drummer. Liked how into it he was aswell! I thought the guys playing bass were good. Yeh, i understand its not everyones thing, and thats fine. But what a few maybe arent realising is, he didnt play that gig worrying about what the people of youtube were going to think. So maybe after the reaction he was getting to the slap bits he played, he thought hed turn it up a notch to give the crowd what theyd seemed to want. Just an idea, not saying im right! But yeh, drummer rocked it

[quote name='Sibob' post='723127' date='Jan 24 2010, 02:27 PM']My band does a lot of weddings and functions etc, and ALL of them are word of mouth and people seeing us at both public shows and the functions....it's a domino effect! I know that doesn't help much, but the trick is to play plenty of public shows, we're out usually 2 times a week as a band, not including the guitarist and singer going out as a duo, the sheer amount of gigs means that people are gonna see us and want to book us at some point. 2 Years ago, we had very little function work, 80% public work probably. The last two years have seen it go to maybe 60/40 public to functions, possibly even 50/50, it's that domino effect at work. We don't have any 'press packs' or demo CD's, never done wedding fairs etc. We have some videos on youtube, but most people who book us have either already seen us, or we do enough shows to be able to invite them to see us! Si[/quote] This is what happened with our band. Never intended to play any weddings really. After playing one as a kind of favour, it all took off. We probably play one wedding a month, which is plenty for me. Only so much of "wonderful tonight" i can play!! So yeh, go out,play some shows and get your singer to make it known to whoever may be watching that you play functions/weddings etc. And, as everyone has said, a good bit of online marketing is sure to help! Just a quick side question. What seems to be the most popular choices of 'first songs' other wedding bands play? I'd say ours was definitly Wonderful Tonight. Although "Im Yours" is definitly getting to be a popular choice.

Im sure we could do it. Whether theyd want us too......dunno. Our sound is a little different so really up to you/them. Can hear our music at www.myspace.com/theomegablend Do covers ranging from Marvin Gaye to The Stones to BonJovi, through to more modern numbers. Can fill a set with our own songs too. If we are of any use, give me a shout
