Dronny Posted Tuesday at 14:26 Posted Tuesday at 14:26 Selling my Vintage (brand) V1004DX bass, I've had it for a fair few years now (probably 10 or more!), originally bought as a backup but I actually used it for a few gigs and really enjoyed playing it. It's currently strung with TI flats, and in great condition. It's kept in a smoke-free home, but doesn't have a gig-bag or anything, hence the reasonable asking price. Collection only from near Swindon, in Wiltshire. 8

Machines Posted Tuesday at 15:52 Posted Tuesday at 15:52 (edited) I reviewed one of these in 2007 for Basschat (see here), as well as bought one a couple of years ago. Superbly overspecced, you should be asking twice this price at least. Edited Tuesday at 15:53 by Machines 2
80Hz Posted Tuesday at 16:03 Posted Tuesday at 16:03 Oh man, I've been looking out for one of these for a couple of years now. No chance of getting down south for it though. Great looking bass!

Cornwall Steve Posted Tuesday at 17:30 Posted Tuesday at 17:30 I have the fretless version. Bought it a few years ago. Absolutely love it. My favourite out of the five fretless basses I own. Such a pity Vintage never did a 5 string version. 2
Gizmo Posted Tuesday at 17:54 Posted Tuesday at 17:54 I have one of these as a 5 string (but with the Brown maple quilt..soon to be remove/refinished) it's had a few mods (new bridge/preamp) and it's a fantastic bass, If you decide to offer it an option posting this give me a shout.

I never knew Vintage made a 5 string V1004. Was it known as a V1005 to reflect this ?🤔 1

Cornwall Steve Posted Tuesday at 21:52 Posted Tuesday at 21:52 Well I never knew 🤗 All these years I've owned my 4 thinking I so wish I had this in a 5 😢
3below Posted Tuesday at 23:00 Posted Tuesday at 23:00 How is this only £100? I would but it is a long way from mid wales to Swindon. Postage? 1
Stub Mandrel Posted Wednesday at 00:01 Posted Wednesday at 00:01 Crikey I'm tempted... and within range for me...

Sorry but I don't have a suitable box, and unless I can get to a bike shop (my usual way of blagging a box big enough), I can't easily get hold of one. I have a busy week ahead but maybe at the weekend I'll look into getting hold of a box big enough...

Thanks, but I wasn't really able to find anything (eBay, etc) to base my pricing on, other than what I paid for it over ten years ago. Too late to change my mind now, just happy to move it on to a good home. 6

Too late to change my mind now, just happy to move it on to a good home. That's very admirable however I'm sure most members would prefer to see you receive a fair price for this. I recall paying £250 or £260 for mine. I see no shame in asking for more. You're not being greedy if you do, the because these are pretty decent instruments and yours is quite simply worth more than a hundred quid IMO 2
