What sort of guitars are you looking to browse? There’s loads in the UK that are smaller than those you’ve mentioned but specialise in specific areas.

Was the Vigier modded to be invisible?

No, but looks legit. Not many P basses had blocks and binding. When did they transition to truss rod access at the headstock end?

Try calling some of the shops in Denmark street to see if they would buy them from you. Wunjo would be a good starter. You would get less money than selling privately but at least it would be guaranteed.

Yep, can see the strap lock from a mile away 😜

When I joined basschat (probably was 15 years ago) I was initially attracted to the bargains that could be had in the classifieds. But I quickly realised that it was because the BC community were passing bargains on to others by selling on for what they paid. I didn’t see much obvious flipping for profit but once I saw it on a sale of mine I lost a bit of respect for that basschatter. Also, I think since the charges came in there isn’t the same basschat spirit that used to exist in the classifieds, all be it with a few exceptions. Apart from being legal, immediately flipping for a profit isn’t a million miles away from ticket touting.

Is it just me or is this Deja vu of a thread from last week? Considering all the benefits available on basschat, it baffles me that anyone would have an issue with paying.

Watched Raye on BBC One last night and thought it was one of the better musical performances I’ve seen in a while. Almost Amy Winehouse territory. The bass player was terrific and I now have F bass GAS. On IPlayer for anyone who didn’t catch it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001zq01

😍 if you ever sell….. ect ect

It’s a blight on the standards of this country that such practice is tolerated whether it’s selling houses, cars, guitars or anything else. I would like to think that most would condemn the shops actions and no one on Basschat would go back on a deal like this scenario.

A bit of over enthusiasm and a bit of desperation. The blame should lie with the shop. They made the original deal and shouldn’t have entertained anything else after that. A true display of greed.

Two:

I used a trolley to get to a gig in central London via the tube and by the time I got to the venue I was exhausted. Then after setting up one of the other bands put his full pint on my amp, so in my short fuse state I let him know what I thought about it. Got fired from my band the next day!

This is a healthy reminder of why I stay the hell away from gigging!

Yes, although heavier than my Fender

I’m glad it’s in the hands of a player rather than someone who could potentially be a collector or seller, but it’s bad of a shop to renegade on an agreed sale.

I can’t remember if it should be stamped or not for this age, but if the neck has been off you’d think it would have been photographed and included in the advert. This is where Andy Baxter is at the forefront of the vintage market.

Contextually reasonably priced 62 refin jazz in bass bros. Not something I can justify and my least favourite custom colour, but I’m sure it will garner interest quickly. https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1962-fender-jazz-bass/

If buying basses is evil then sign me up for hell 😆

Let’s hope they don’t track online mentions because that price might have been updated if they do

A tenner hopefully 😂

I was going to say the same thing. Unless you need the cash, just put it aside for 6 months and if you still don’t want it then you know it won’t become a regret.

£2800 15 years ago feels like a lot of money still. I remember 60s Fenders being priced around that at the time.

Best buy was a Fender American Deluxe Jazz V in trans red. It was mint and only £400 on eBay! Should have been more patient with it but traded it on here after a few years. Worst sell was a 3EQ Musicman Stingray. Traded it for an Overwater Jazz and a bit of cash that valued it at £500. Would be double that now, and again should have showed more patience with it.
