tauzero Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 [quote name='Wil' post='814490' date='Apr 21 2010, 11:45 PM']Yeah, but it's a bass, not a used car - using that logic, pre CBS Fenders would be going for a tenner on ebay.[/quote] Using that logic, 1963 E-types would be going for a tenner on ebay.

silverfoxnik Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 My favourite is: "..reluctantly, I'm selling my [i]beloved[/i] XXXXX Bass.." I always think 'if you love it so much, why are you selling it then!' Mind you, I've probably said the same thing myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a feeler you need, go see your girlfriend, wife, boyfriend etc. sex acts are not performed in our for sale department. Personally I think my basses would just get in the way, or am I doing it wrong. Ta very glad BIGd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazza1 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 [quote name='Bilbo' post='814786' date='Apr 22 2010, 11:08 AM']To be fair, I suspect many of us are forced into selling gear by our personal circumstances as opposed to any deficiencies on the part of the gear. I have got three guitars and 2 basses but, in order to finance a double bass and associated accessories, I am going to have to let some of them go. Nothing wrong with them, I just can't get what I want without raising capital. So my reason for selling them is, surprise, surprise, because I need the money! Nothing wrong with them as instruments, perfectly good quality kit, but, in the overall scheme of economic things, I need to prioritise. So, 'great bass' can easily apply to something we have to move.[/quote] Yes I know what you mean, unfortunately you can't be honest & state that you need the money because some tw@t will then offer you 50% of what it's worth.
