Hello,

I want to sell my 1998 MIM Fender Precision Bass, but have know idea what it's current value is. The serial # is MN8141561. It has been used in my smoke free, pet free, climate controlled studio. There is some minor wear scratches on the back. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cosmorecording

If it's mint your 1998 p-bass can vary in value,Ebay which takes a few weeks(give or take a few days or so..)will fetch you the most money along with a privete buyer as well,but a music store will be far less willing to pay what its really worth,which is probably around the 300.00$ mark(this a general guess but close).
Used music stores will pay ABOUT 2/3rds of its re-sale value depending on the model,color and condition and if you want to up-grade your bass to a newer or better one they will be more than happy to give you more store credit rather than a cash exchange,most every music store employee's earn commission so the less they pay you the more they get from its sale later on.
Do some homework,E-bay can provide a ruff estimate of value for your perticular bass and remember you can haggle,most stores are willing to negotiate if you ask,they wont offer it up freely,call a few places and get a general price,it saves time and gas money and most of all with a phone call you wont feel obligated to make the deal work especialy after packing up your gear and driving out there.
Knowledge is Power :mrgreen:
