First off, I am not a dealer. Just a guy who has done too much stupid stuff looking for the right equipment. More than anything, I love playing bass, but initially I didn't realize how much it takes to be happy with your ax and sound. So I spent tons trading, looking for the right ax. Is there one? Well, I have found my home in two ax's, and besides looking for a 5 string fretless, I am good personally.
So, as for trading (as I call it), I am now doing this for fun, and not to lose anything on it. Which is why I can't just take any trade, only stuff that really makes sense, or interests me. If my price that I offer for your item seems low, let me just say I don't mean any disrespect up front. I just have to think of what the market is offering, and I do my research through ebay, bassgear, BGRA, and other areas, including used and new searches through google. I do my best to keep up with the value of items out there, but this is not my main gig.
As a final note, what I really started this for is to answer any questions about any item i have, or had, as I have posted most of my previous basses. If I can help you find reasons to buy or not to buy a particular ax, it would mke me feel alright. Wish I had that kind of help, but then again, I didn't know what to ask. Good luck!
