Don't tell the seller though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 MB1. Needs some better Pics! (and a rear pickup screw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Looks like he came to his senses and kept it, unless someone offered him a suitable amount off eBay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazed Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's a bit optimistic. For 4k I would expect it to be perfect! Or am I being picky?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I being picky?? [/quote] No, not really. You could take the view that for a little more you could get a new one built to your own specs, but you'd probably have to wait a year to get it. I'm surprised the seller hasn't at least got a new pickup screw from Paul to replace the missing one. His bass is obviously from Pete Stevens' era, so to some that would make it more desirable. Bottom line, that's the value he's placed on it, and if someone loves it enough, it will sell. Good luck to him, they're great basses.

Dazed Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yep totally agree they are fantastic basses, I've owned an 81 fretless since the early 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acebassmusic Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 £4k!.......if he sells it at that price I think I may put mine up for sale, add a bit extra and order a new one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 With a waiting time of almost a year and a half, if you have a used one to sell, that is in good condition, you can charge a premium for the buyer to be able to own it now.

Happy Jack Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I have to say that mine is nicer than that and definitely in much better condition. If someone offered me £4000 for it I'd bite their arm off. That's a ridiculous price, and anyone who wants a 5-string Mk.II can definitely and easily do better than that. All of which said, if he can find a buyer at that price then good luck to him. A fool and his money ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
