karlfer Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Funny what "the market" will pay.

Musky Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I don't think it's an outrageous price really. Domestic Japanese basses aren't so easy to get hold of nowadays, and that one is in near mint condition. If someone specifically wanted that colour and didn't want the hassle of importing I can imagine that it would be worth that much to them. Especially if they happened to be within easy reach of Hove.

BigRedX Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) If you bought a second-hand 62RI from Ishabashi's Ubox it would cost you approximately £675 after shipping, duty and VAT etc. Edit: That's to a Sunburst finish.

karlfer Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Makes me have dis- loyal selling thoughts about my '75 re-issue. Half heartedly put it up for exchange for a Duck Dunn. It's my 1st bass to look at, but 3rd to pick up and play. Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Does anyone else think a private listing for a bass might be hiding something in the bidding dept? Not like it's anything to be ashamed of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Whilst I acknowledge the above comments I do think there are better bargains out there! Nice colour though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I recently bought a MIJ 62 RI Jazz from 'starless' here on basschat for £380 in almost new condition. Great bass, great price, looking at this it seems I got a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
