interestingly enough, it's still there. I'd kinda forgotten about that bass ( and this thread) until it bubbled to the top of the heap once again.
price-wise, it's a reach imho. what is a good price for an instrument? how do you know what the market will bear?
used to be, if you wanted to sell an instrument, you'd put it up for auction and the highest bid would pretty much tell you what the market would bear. nowadays, it seems, you set some astronomical optimistic price and see if some sucker agrees with your market assessment. judging by the glut of high end basses sitting for months and months on ebay and reverb, it doesn't seem like a viable strategy to me. and yet when you reach out to the seller and ask them if they're interested in selling it or carrying on their inventory for another 8 months or however long it's been, they'll say the price is not negotiable.
i just had another nacient deal die on the vine under this very same scenario.
I don't get it. am I off base? living in the past?
