basshead56 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 looking into a second hand one of these in very good condition, so would like to know what they fetch these days. Also, where are these made? Are they Korean? Any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I sold mine last year for £200, it was Korean but not in the best nick - some cosmetic damage around a neck repair, worn gold foil on the bridge pickup and a couple of deep dings near the bridge. So one in tip top condition would probably go for a bit more, £250 maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 So I bought Neepheid's. I was watching a good nick one on eBay a couple of weeks ago, just to see what it went for, and it made £350. They seem to be well thought of, even amongst fans of the Guild original. One possible drawback in some people's eyes is the 32" scale, though it actually doesn't feel like a short/medium scale bass. The other drawback is the wide body, which means very few cases or gig bags will fit. I've ended up with a gigantic Warwick acoustic bass gigbag. The alternative, if you can find one, is the Epi Jack Casady case, and I think you have to modify that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few go for 300 - 400, and most seem to be fairly near mint condition. If you've got the spare cash you sometimes see them converted to Darkstars, which makes them very good indeed.
