phsycoandy Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) I saw one of these in a shop today Marked up at £649, I guess I could haggle aswell it sounded really sweet. I have no idea if that is a good/bad price, please enlighten me, it was new with Status case,tags etc. Fretless unlined with side markers, twas a beauty. Guess this is nearly in the right forum as it was a "Bass For Sale" Edited May 23, 2008 by phsycoandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_ferret Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Status dont publish prices except for the smart bass that start at £900. This has got to be a lot more expensive. I looked at the retro-active when I got my GB and it was about the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yup, think that's a steal. Even the old Electro 1's (with less desirable wood neck) come in at about £5-600ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matte_black Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 The one on Loot is an Electro I (a bit cheaper than the new one). The Electro I had Maple neck, Rosewood board, piezo (no magnetic pickups) and didn't have the Rosewood top neither. I'd buy this bass in a heartbeat if I wasn't a builder myself.

OutToPlayJazz Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 That's literally less than half price. I don't have my Status price guide on this computer, but it needs snapping up very quickly at that money! The new ones (Electro 3) have graphite neck & one soapbar pickup in addition to the piezo bridge units. Great bass! Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooks Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 That's a luverly looking bass and at that I price I would definitely say it's a no brainer, I'd snap this up at this price without hesitation!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I've agreed a price on the one attached - may be the one on Loot but I can't see that link now. Seemed like a bit of a steal at just under £250 so agreed a deal quite quickly. Just fancied something to noodle around on at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
