It's a real nice sounding bass for sure!
Although if Rainer sells something it's always questionable how much profit he's making.. tho the price aint bad...  |
Yes this has been Dirk's before we made a trade recently. Basses are coming and going and this one is definitely worth a look and a try.
Not sure how I feel about your post Bram ! It's always a gambling to buy and sell or trade-in basses. Sometimes there is some profit, sometimes (and much more often) there is some loss. I think you refer to your personal experience with our Fodera deal. Especially in the Fodera area you never know whether you will get back your invest. In the end I made NO profit with the Fodera. Believe it or not.
But you are forcing me to point out here that I never intend to buy or trade-in basses to make profit. I am a bass player and not a dealer. And I feel absolutely NO FUN about re-selling basses ! So please decide whether it is a good price for you or for someone else but never judge about how much uplift there might be hidden in it.
I made another trade with Dirk long ago and I finally made hundreds of loss. For me that is OK as I had the chance to play and feel another worldclass bass (it was an Alembic Series 2).
Of course it's always interesting whether a certain seller may have some space for negotiations (which is obviously different from calculated profit). It's up to the buyer to make a best offer and then we will see.
