[quote name='spinynorman' post='318570' date='Oct 30 2008, 05:54 PM']That went down like a lead balloon. So is the Spector market saturated by the Sound Control fire sale, or is that just a very unrealistic price?[/quote]
I think there could be an element of the Sound Control situation as anyone who "lives" on this forum will have clocked the fact that Rebops were going for £300. I was one of the fortunate ones to get a Euro 5 so I am a happy chappy.
On t'other hand it could just be general lack of money at the moment until we can all get our funds out of Iceland..... :)
Had a look at Homer's ReBop a little while back and they are awesome basses.
Good luck with the sale.

Depending on what I think once my six string arrives and I play it for a bit, I [b]might[/b] decide to sell my five string. But it's a much, much, cheaper bass than your budget would cover. Would you be potentially interested? It's a Rockbass Streamer Standard V.

I'm nowhere near Devon either.

Hello again,still pondering over your spector,it would seem that mint cond thro' neck 5's fetch around £480,so a bolt on in used cond has to be worth significantly less,also take off what you would pay ebay in commission & with a bit of haggling we may not be a million miles apart,if it doesn't make it in the auction send a PM thro the forum,I have a few days off work this week so collecting is not a problem,best of luck either way,mike b.

Not sure where you got that info mate.... maybe you saw a one-off.... :)

A thru neck (i.e. Euro or US) 5-string would fetch at least £700, particularly as the new RRP is £1500.

This bolt-on ReBop is, to my mind, realistically priced.

Have a free bump!

[quote name='wrinkleygit' post='327464' date='Nov 12 2008, 12:01 PM']bear in mind a rebop 4 has just been listed on this forum for £300,mike b.[/quote]

That is the sellers choice to price it at that, and it is IMHO a bargain price. Bear in mind that said ReBop 4 does have some 'thumbrest damage/modification' though.

I would say this ReBop 5 (with Aguilar pre-amp) is worth £400+.

Bumping a great bass...

Thanks for the moral support. :)
