I'd say you have an idea then. Offer 150 and see what the person does.

well the thing is its on eBay lol. its at like $1.00 now but the auction has like 6 days left so yea...it has the potential to go up alot. but here's the weird thing after some research i found one that sold on eBay for about $115 with shipping, what a deal, and it was a UK one in mint condition. =o

A top limit of 150 sounds good to me if you really want one.

If you know anyone handy with a soldering iron it'd be much cheaper to get this kit:

oh wow thats a really good price, seems very tempting but idk for two reasons. the last time i built my own guitar related item was my first bass and it was a nightmare, it ended up looking and sounding like a ****** squier p-bass copy. And the other reason is i don't know the website even thought its probably trustworthy right?

ooh and also this pedal once built would be good with bass right?

It'd be the same as the one you'd be buying off ebay but newer components so probably more reliable than a "vintage" one depending on how well it's soldered.

Totally trustworthy site/company, I've never heard a single bad thing about anyone's dealings with them.

Guitar pedals will function with a bass, but the quality of the resulting sound will vary. Experiment! No harm will come of it.
