Edmouk Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hello ! I am the (French) owner of a Goodfellow bass that I part exchanged some time ago for a Spector bass. I intend to put it on sale in a near future but I have no idea about how much this kind of bass may cost used as it hardly unknown here in France. I f anyone can help, that would be great ! Here are some pics of the lady : Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I can't but you'll know of James Durand (durandassi, jd on statii.com) he's a big goodfellow fan. He might help if he's around or pm him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know James owns recent Goodfellow basses which must cost much more than mine so I hope he can help anyway. I'm not sure but from what I've read here and there, my Goodfellow might be a Lowden production, making the bass probably less valuable than a Bernie Goodfellow production. Thanks again for your help ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_of_the_bass Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hi Edmouk! A fine lady you have there! Price-wise, these seem to go for around £800 to about £1000. Hope this helps! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hi Edmouk, Nice looking bass but I agree with you that it does look like it might be one of the Lowden-era Goodfellow basses from the 1990s. I remember back then buying one of the 5 string models for about £700 and it was a goo dbass but not really in the same class as one made by bernie himself. I'd say that a second hand Lowden-era one now would be worth between £500-700, but that's a total, total guess! Good luck with it, Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM1 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Bonjour! Stunning bass! But I'd say she's only worth about £100. I'll give you £150 though. Just kidding. Good luck with the sale...beautiful bass. Regards AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmouk Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hi mates ! Thanks very much for your comments. This is really helpfull. I think selling it around 600 £ could be a reasonable price considering that I had to replace the battery plate by a home-made one as it was missing when I got the bass. But this is the only "missing" part. Best regards to everyone. Fabien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 It's a Lowden era example. 500-700 seems like a fair price, you'll add a few hundred on for a Bernie example. You can tell by the headstock logo, the tuning pegs, the controls and the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
