How about offering him a slap with a wet bunker(a baitfish often used to catch bluefish with a oily texture and strong foul fishy odor)AND $150.00 :?: And tell him that its for wasting everyones time ! :twisted:
For the new price its being listed as you can go to a music store and buy one for even less,they usually sell for $300.00(most used stores) give or take(including the"HOLYGRAIL" I hear) :wink:
The newer models made much better are in the 450.00$ range,save up and get one and avoid any question,the extra money for a modern one is well worth the wait,they have come along way in the last 5 years or so,and your exp. with other brands should carry over to all basses as far as playability,fit and finish.
Pricing is easy,figuring out all the physical traits of a guitar/bass is the hard part and most often avoided,learning the parts and set-up of ones instrument goes far in avoiding problematic basses,re-pairs,set-ups and modifications,I cant believe some of the great musicians I have met over the years who still cant change their own strings and re-intonate their bass/guitar :shock: (nevermind a set-up).
:mrgreen:

I paid $175 for my '99 MIM. It was in a rough shape. I got it for a project bass tho, and my main concern was a straight neck cuz maybe one day I'll buy a Warmoth body :)

$375 is too much tho for my area (going with a HWY 1 PBass '06 is going for $499 before negotiations here) not sure what the going price in Chico, CA is.

I know which one it was, and I'm not telling.



Thanks OXman. I am getting positive feed back from serious people who know what a bass should sound like when I'm doing the jigedges. The Grail lives. I cannot expose it nationally or worldly. It's priceless to me. I don't think I'd take 10,000 for it I swear. It has taken my whole bass existance to find the one. I'm aware it could be a wanted item so I am very carefull.
