Happy Jack Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago (edited) So here's a game I play roughly once a year. I list a whole bunch of basses for sale (really not wanting to sell any of them you understand) and once a couple have actually sold 😩 I let the remaining listings slide down below the radar. Until the next time. I'm not selling because I'm desperate for the money, and if I was John Entwistle then I'd just keep the lot and have an ever-expanding collection, but the reality is that over half my basses get played very little, if at all. Common sense says that at least some of these lovely instruments should get back out in circulation. I have no interest at all in trades. Replacing a bass that doesn't get played with a different bass that won't get played seems like a complete waste of time and effort. On the other hand, many of my basses are pretty non-standard or left-field and therefore hard to price, so I'm not absolutely wedded to the figure stated. I'm in Harrow HA1, close to Sudbury Hill on the Piccadilly Line, and I gig regularly throughout Beds, Bucks, Herts & Middx, with occasional forays into Surrey. Pickup in person is always preferable to despatch (from home, or a mutually-convenient pub, or at one one of my gigs), but I've had nothing but good experiences with DPD so if you live more than - say - 50 miles from Harrow then that's an option. Lovely thing this, lightweight and comfortable. I bought it about 15 years ago when I first discovered that a great-sounding P-bass didn't actually have to weigh over 10lbs. The P-Retro is a perfect match for this bass. The finish is not perfect and there are a few dints and marks, but the colour and nature of the finish make it very hard to photograph those marks. It also means that they're invisible on stage. Edited 12 hours ago by Happy Jack 7
Happy Jack Posted 12 hours ago Author Posted 12 hours ago Quite possibly the most under-priced bass in the entire history of Basschat, I had three offers to buy this bass with 30 mins of listing it, and the deal was completed within the first hour. Reckon I'll start adding 20% onto all my listings in future. 😂😂😂 3
