Please hold the flames and let the moderator deal with me if this is too close to the edge for this forum.

Just looking for a place to trade for a '62 Amervintage RI Jazz bass, but I know I cannot do it here. But thought you all would know:
Is there a good website/forum/marketplace where anyone has had good experience with like tight community like here?

Again, apologies if this pushes the boundaries.

No. I just thought I would get more success using a Fender related forum for a trade.

Jack, lay off. The dude wants to know where he can sell his instrument and not have to deal with too many low ballers and twits like guitar center and Craigslist.

yeah craigslist blows where I live for selling guitars. I bet it's the same alot of other places. However if you want to trade for an Xbox or an Ibanez go for it.

And yes- GC is total rip on trades.

Here's a couple of ideas.

1. Supporting members at TALK BASS can do trades in that forum. Sabre Lane's Conservatory allows that for all members.

2. EVEN BETTER! Check local or regional guitar shows and music festivals where players and collectors gather. Here are the ones I know about for the next month. I try to attend as many guitar shows and music festivals as I can in my area. Unfortunately there are two very good events the same weekend near me and I can't do but one.

THE ONES MARKED UPFRONT * ARE A GOOD BET FOR TRADES. THE ONES MARKED ** UPFRONT MEANS I AM PLANNING TO GO. (The ones not marked will be more live music and little if any actual trading. However it can pay off to network with regional players and it is always good to support local live music.)

Wasn't tyying to be a #$%@. I have had great success on Craigslist in my area so I said what I said. Made some great trades and bought some nice guitars.

I would never consider GC.

I think that talkbass has a policy that only supporting members can sell instruments in their forum.

Not sure if only supporting members can sell on Talkbass . You do have to register & become a member to reply to posts or start a thread.
I like Talkbass, it's a great place to converse with other bass players & get info on new Bass gear.
