Davo-London Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 And yet I can't sell it. So how is it too cheap? Davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo[/quote] I think it could be that it's a rock/blues bass with a jazzers neck, so it's going to appeal to a smaller market. I know this is a crude generalisation, but Precisions are great for straight up no nonsense bass playing and fretless necks require high levels of technical ability, and that may be the problem.

Precision is a rock/blues bass (I won't even bother providing examples of jazz, funk, pop, indie Precision players, there's too many to list)? Fretless is for 'Jazzers' (what, famous Jazzers like Rick Danko, Jeff Ament, Les Claypool)? Precisions are for 'no nonsense' playing (not sure what you mean by no-nonsense really but I suspect the tone is one of root notes etc, Rocco Prestia immediately springs to mind...)? Fretless necks require high levels of skill (so do fretted necks)? OK, you admit they're crude generalisations, yes, but probably sufficiently crude to warrant not writing them in the first place IME, having owned a few, most players are simply suspicious of maple fretless in terms of tone and rate of wear. Both are, again, crude generalisations! C Edited March 4, 2010 by Beedster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarcher Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 My wife says I can look but not touch. Seriously its a lovely looking bass and if I wasn't overspent I would love to have it. Its probably waiting for its Mr Right to come along. I would add that if it were mine I wouldn't let it go at that price unless I were desperate. If I were you I'd take it off the market for a few weeks then have another go at selling when possibly theres a bit more money floating around. Theres been nothing that good looking on ebay for that price. Good luck with whatever you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesso Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Thats a beauty. I'm broke, so I won't be buying it, but if I was, I'd expect to pay quite a bit more than a grand. I would consider this quite a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can categorically state that it has been sold. They have had the bass for 9 months or so! Thanks to all who have PM'd interest and sorry to Matski.
