Title: Possible sale?!?!
Post by: white_cloud on October 04, 2008, 03:25:59 AM
Im thinking that my Persuader may have to be sold. I really cannot justify it sitting around unplayed!
 
It can be seen under white clouds Persuader at the showcase section.

What's getting all the playing time John?  Did I miss you picking up another bass somewhere along the line?
 
My first impression is to say hang onto it.  I'm sure we've all sold a few basses and have usually ended up wishing we'd kept them (assuming finances allow).

Thanks,

Hi Toby, my prometeus bass has the tone I have been craving and is being played all the time at the moment. The Persuader is amazing but I just cant live with myself knowing that it is sitting under my bed in a hard case...a real sin!
 
Taylor, I can see that you are in the US - I think the UK price would be too rich for most US members (Alembics in the UK change hands for considerably more than in the states because of their scarce numbers.)
 
I was thinking if I have to sell that a price of around ?900 is about right. That may seem a lot to US members but remember here in the UK a second hand set-neck Epic would be around the same price (or more)!

Hmmm . . .  www.prometeusguitars.com (http://www.prometeusguitars.com) redirects one to a My Space blog.  Unusual, but it turns out to be owned by the maker and is an interesting read.

Unusual it is - and incredible they are!
