Title: 88 Persuader bass question
Post by: ukbassman on September 09, 2009, 07:33:30 AM

I've had this old lady for a number of years now and she spends most of her time these days in the case minus battery and stood upright in the closet.
Any comments on value would be appreciated.

Title: 88 Persuader bass question

Generally, Persuaders seem to run around $1,200 - 1,300US in the states; however, market conditions do fluctuate, and the trading range can be higher or lower.  UK and European prices are generally a good bit higher.  Yours has a nice top, seems to be in great condition, and has a case, all of which can add to the trading value.  I don't think it would be unexpected to see a bass like yours go for $1,500 in the states, and higher in the UK/EU.
