discreet Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Apologies if this has been spotted already, but... phwoarr, eh? Eh? Very groovy original P-Bass produced in the year of my birth: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390292560032&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] Just a little bit hot on price though, imho! Couldn't possibly justify it anyway -- particularly considering the cheap tat I gave to my missus and boy for Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 £8695? You could buy nearly 150 Sue Ryders for that. If you chucked them in a river for a few days they'd come out looking pretty much as destroyed. The law of averages would probably suggest that a good few of them would probably play & sound as good as this one too. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtb Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Pricey - but anywhere with New Kings Road rent and rates to pay isnt going to be offering any bargains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesfinn Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I contacted them recently about buying a 64 burgundy mist P bass from them. I was genuinly interested and sent an email. no reply...i made a phone call...they said they'd get back to me....no reply...I called them again and they just couldn't be assed to talk to me... all I wanted was they're best price. I was ready to take the very large loan the bank had offered me and go down there if it would of come out at the right price. but after that I shall not bother!

I rang this morning and they clearly hadn't checked their emails. The guy was perfectly friendly but didn't really have much knowledge of what they had in stock that fitted my requirements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Do they own any of these basses or are they just selling on commission? If this shop had their own money tied up I would assume they'd be better at selling their stock, and their prices would be much lower!

wesfinn Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 a lot of it is commission sale. The people who own them obviously know how much the guitar is worth so want a good return on it. The shop just whack a huge sellers fee on top i guess. They can probably get away with it being on kings road with all the rich business men looking to invest their money in old guitars instead of putting it in the bank. Clarky-that 63 refin P is about £2.5 k over priced! for just over £3k you could get headofires 1961 refin P off the for sale thread in here!

If I was born in 61 instead of 63, headofire would have had a PM a long time ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
