Members AntiStuff Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 A local music store has this used:http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Palatino-VE500-Electric-Upright-Bass-?sku=512015 The price on it is $600. There's a few scratches on it, but other than that looks and sounds good. Strings seem to be in decent shape. Comes with gigbag. How much should I offer? $550? Less?

Members PaulyWally Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 If it were me... I don't think I'd pay more than $400-$450 for it. $600 for a used product that is $680 new is a rape job if I ever saw one. Assuming it's still as solid as it was new - they're not collector's items... there's probably no warranty on it... and they're not in high demand. If I REALLY wanted it, and I REALLY couldn't get the extra cash for a new one... I might go up to $500... MAYBE $550. But I would have to be pretty hard up for it.

Check the Double Bass forum on talkbass for those. They aren't big fans of that particular brand. They seem to have quality issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
