BassBod Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Don't do it! (scrabbles around looking for things to sell....) Give me about a year, and I might have enough cash (but probably not a car!). BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbass Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Can you post (or if you prefer, PM me) a list of prices that you'd let the parts go for? I'm interested to know the value of some of them and you might even get a few takers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few expressions of interest already so I'll see how they go before posting full prices for all parts on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I have seen 66 necks go for a grand or more and the oval tuners are worth £2-300 in their own right. As I say not certain of these values but I think £900 is a very keen price and someone will get a bargain. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll welcome any and all advice on these prices as this is a market I am not that familiar with (I'm used to selling complete instruments).

Shall I split the neck and tuners? £600 and £300 respectively if any interest. NB: One screw will be missing from the tuners; it obviously sheared off at some point!
