jonsparrow91 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) WHY IS THIS STILL HERE? I think the low price must be putting people off. I've played basses that cost 4x as much that didn't sound or play as good as this! Schecter Stiletto Studio-6 Bass Guitar Features: Neck-thru construction Multi-laminate maple and walnut neck with rosewood fingerboard 35\" scale Mahogany body with bubinga top 24 jumbo frets Offset dot position markers EMG-Hz pickiups Master volume and blend controls 3-band EQ Diamond Custom bridge Grover tuners Satin gold hardware WHY IS THIS STILL HERE? I think the low price must be putting people off. I've played basses that cost 4x as much that didn't sound or play as good as this! Cash price of £275 (not including postage.) These things are very rare in Britain and cost £600-£700 new. In terms of trades, I think its worth about £350 trade-in value. I'm after either a cheaper (but solid) bass with cash from you (Like a Squier VM or CV + £150ish from you), a better bass with cash from me (Like an MIA Fender + £200ish from me) or a straight swap for something of equal value (like a Fender Highway One bass.) I should mention that I'm very open to trades but I'm not going to take anything from 'no-name' brands. I am willing to send by courier but AT THE BUYER'S RISK AND EXPENSE. Collection or meetup is much prefered and (if you buy it) I'll take £20 off if you pick it up straight from my house and pay with cash (yes I am exceedingly lazy).

pantherairsoft Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Stunning instrument. Plays, looks an sounds like it should be worth well over 1k. How they produce them for this price is beyond me. I can vouch for this being a top bit of kit and one of the best to get you into playing 6ers.

This is unless I see something I really want for a similarly good price which is rather unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsparrow91 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Unfortunately this has to go now I love the tone, I love the neck and I love the look of it. Unfortunately the body is far too small for me (I like 'em big ) and the tone may be lovely but it doesn't fit into my music at present. Open to all trade options so long as the bass has a large body. Bonus points for: maple necks, string through, active, 5 strings, nice tonewood. Show me what you got!

jonsparrow91 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 I know I got this for less (cheers to pantherairsoft!) but if anyone wants to buy it I'll need £350 in order to get a replacement. My intention wasn't to make a profit its just that £275 wouldn't usually come close to a bass of this standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsparrow91 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Bump, as current trade offer is unlikely to go through. Info - I am based in Lancashire and I cannot travel very far to pick up or deliver. So unless you want to pick it up in person it will be sent in a padded gig bag with extra padding by courier.

jonsparrow91 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Quick bump. Anyone who offers a Fender Precision bass (of any type) can expect an automatic YES. Same goes for a high end Squier P plus £100 cash (paypal). Still open to most offers on 4-5 strings though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsparrow91 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 May be shooting myself in the foot but I've decided I want either a straight sale or a swap or p/x for a Precision or Jazz bass (Squier/Fender only). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
