Pinball Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi, I know of one locally. It seems a really nice instrument-it felt classy. Lovely neck, very light, natural with a torte guard. It's in a charity shop so I couldn't try it through an amp. Both knobs were missing although the electrics and tuners appear good. Whats the value? Note: If I played 4's I would have bought it by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Get it, try it, don't like it? Sell it. Sure a mate gigs a very similar one. I'd have a look if you decided it wasn't for you, how much is it up for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) £100, not good timing as I'm buying another bass and collect tomorrow It feels very gigable Edited February 7, 2015 by Pinball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hmm, charity shops don't normally price things that well... £100 is fair enough, but not as 'go on then' as £60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you decide not to take it, please let me know as I need a beater P-Bass Cheers Edited February 7, 2015 by nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 £100 is a pretty fair price (broadly speaking) for a 70s MIJ bass. I say broadly speaking because like pretty much all the MIJ brands, the Maya badge went on stuff from plywood beginner basses right up to replica-level. If it plays as nice as you say then it's probably not a low-end example, could you get a pic or two by any chance? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I have had a couple of Maya basses, the necks were excellent on both, at £100 for a P it has to be good value as long as it doesn't have a truss rod cover spoiling the headstock end, the earlier comment about ranges is correct, the replica basses are excellent, the Kay / Satellite copies not so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks all. I really can't justify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
