Members Ender_rpm Posted March 27, 2009 Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 Not bad, but high for Tribby's, especially since he likely bought them at the old price (~$600) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Death Hands Posted March 27, 2009 Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'd rather buy new for that kind of dough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hotblack Posted March 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'd rather buy new for that kind of dough... Is anywhere still selling them near that price new? Last I saw, most places were selling in the $800 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ender_rpm Posted March 27, 2009 Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yeah, this years production is going for $800 (which is a rip off, IMO), but those are NOT this years basses. It's like all the douches that put up thier Geddy Lee Jazzes for what they paid for them NEW because Fenfer decidedd to charge too much for those too.

Moderators ThudMaker Posted March 27, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2009 A tribute should go for $400 absolute tops, especially in this economy. Especially when you can kill some time and be patient enough to find used USA G&L's for $750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really argue with that, but I think as more time passes, it's going to be harder to find that deal, specifically because of what Ender said. Though it shouldn't the NEW prices are going to inflate the used market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know locally I can get two for 450 new, an old SB2 for like 400, and a JB-2 Trib for 400 new...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it shouldn't the NEW prices are going to inflate the used market. Possibly, but look at G&L re-sale values as it is. A new USA built one will set you back ~$1700, and it's worth most of that, but the second you go to sell it, you'll be VERY lucky to pull $1000 back out of it, most likely get somewhere in the mid $900s. A used import bass should not go for approximately what it cost new. Hell, I'd go 75% for a G&L, but for a $600 bass, thats $450, NOT over $500.

It's been a few weeks since I've been in, and I don't think Sherman would do shipping, but I can see. And those are they prices they give ME. I've dumped 4 grand into that place over the past 3 years, so they like me. The {censored}ed me pretty bad on my first two purchases, though. They're just an old holeinthewall mom and pop that tries to have good, quality gear. They deal in PA stuff mostly. EDIT:And I just got off the phone with the owner. He asked me to keep the number to myself. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poltergeist Posted March 27, 2009 Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 i bet that if someone offered 800/850$ for both, he'd sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
