| | | Any luck selling your Charles Cote Bass? I searched your items on eBay, and didn't see the guitar listed. I'm asking because I too have a Charles Cote bass for sale. I'm not much of a bass guy  , I got this bass from a trade. I just know it's a fretless Charles Cote, I believe pre-1995 because I can't find a serial number for it. It's a beautiful bass and sounds amazing! I have no need for it since I don't play bass, so I would like to sell it to someone that will appreciate it!
I'm only asking $500 plus $50 shipping. I have it listed on eBay (seller name: dolphins*). It's hard to find information on the internet, other than some history on Charles Cote. Can't find too many people that actually own one of his basses.
Anyway, hope you had good luck with your sale! |

Put it on consignment at BNW and got quite a bit more for it than the asking price on this one (in less than a month). So great deal here. GLWTS.
