BassBod Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Lovely ...but MOT and car tax are getting in the way! Best of luck with your cash flow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 This is just ridiculous. For a start I cannot believe how much Jon underprices his instruments....BUT £300 for a luthier built bass of this quality is INSANE!!! I am trying seriously hard to stop myself buying this as I have 2 cars to get though MOT's next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not familiar with these they are seriously nice hand crafted basses, top build, v light and great sounds/playability. A bespoke build for sub fender mex money? Someone will be happy with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully my next bass will be custom built by Jon...I am saving lol! A bespoke build for sub mex Fender money - yes indeed, we are living in strange times. Why anyone would choose the mass produced and variable quality over the lovingly hand made remains a mystery to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loushort Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 guys I'm sorry but I cant justify letting it go for £300 but am asking for £400 as I would kick myself forever if I let it go for less as its a stunning piece of work i feel really bad repricing up but I'd rather keep it than give it away hope you all understand and thanks for the intrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monz Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) I sent you an offer for your asking price and you reply with this "i cant justify letting it go for £300 sorry to mess you about but I've just pulled it out and played it and Il never forgive myself so Im asking for £400 sorry its a sh*tty thing to do hope you understand and thanks for your intrest" You can go to the top of my sh*tlist... That's a w*nkers trick... Rest assured there is no longer any interest and seeeing as you are the endorseee of Letts basses your actions will no doubt be associated with your endorser, well they will be in my eyes anyway.

Roland Rock Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Ouch! Very poor etiquette and bad judgement for sure, but hopefully not a dastardly plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loushort Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 so none of you have ever underpriced a bass before.......wow your all amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morsefull Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 No, I haven't. But if I want to buy or sell on this forum I want to do it with the confidence that comes from knowing that people on here act with respect to each other. I think what you did was disrespectful to the buyer who offered the asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Still a [b][u]very[/u][/b] fair price, the luthier of these instruments is a true artist and from the threads i've read, a perfectionist too EDIT: Oh wait I didn't read the replies fully, um...well if buyers can pull out of purchases, sellers can pull out of sales too I guess...above statement still stands Edited December 29, 2012 by Schnozzalee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Had I agreed to the buyer to sell it for £300 then changed my mind then he is totally in his right to be upset-but I sent him a message saying thanks for the intrest but I cant let it go for that price an error on my part I underpriced it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
