There is a fellow a province over from me who owns what I think is a really beautiful p-bass.

Here's his ad:

Does this bass appear legitimate? Is the asking price reasonable, keeping in mind it's in CAD?


Anyway, I sent him an email offering him an AM Deluxe Tele + an MIM 50's pbass for it. Both are in very nice condition.

My instruments:

He emailed me back and seemed interested, asking me to give him a call.

In short:
-am I offering this guy too much for the bass? Or would this be a fair trade? OR would I be getting a deal, even?

I thought I'd consult the forum before I did anything. That bass just screams mojo, and being a 21-year old this'd be my first sort of vintage piece of equipment. I'm becoming a sucker for the older instruments, I guess.

Thank you all for looking, I really need some help here.

I got your email directing me to look at the original post on the Telecaster guitar forum. I replied to that post and you can see my response there. This one is a toss up. I'd sure hate to part with either of the instruments you have now. A lot would depend on how the '78 plays.

All too often I hear people giving up their instruments to trade for another, and then missing the old instrument. I'm not saying this will happen, but it is something to consider.

If you were trading a 50's p bass and a am. deluxe bass, I would say go for it. But you're trading a mid range bass and a high end guitar for a high end bass. It's not gonna cover all of what you are giving up, and it is something to SERIOUSLY consider. Really, if you are at all hesitant about the trade I recomend not doing it.
