    Double Bass Recently quitting double bass but need help selling my current instrument.

    I bought my bass in 7th grade about 7 years ago and it doesn’t have any price tags or any markings or number codes. I bought it from an old high school teacher back in San Diego and I’ve had it for years but I no longer play and I wanted to sell it to help move. How should I make a post about...

    Hi everyone, I'm a music grad from the UK that's moved from the more classical realms of piano and trumpet playing, to the more modern venture of playing bass guitar (I'm thoroughly enjoying the challenge!). Though I'm a confident reader of notation, for whatever reason, I find it considerably...

    For sale Desperate hunt for a lefty Aerodyne; trading/selling StingRay

    Hi guys! New here. I'm a bassist based in Luton UK. Been scouring the web for my dream Fender bass: a left handed Aerodyne. TBH I'd go either Jazz or Precision with one of those. Because they are like gold dust, I'd also go for a 70's American P-bass or 90's Japanese P or Jazz - all options...

    Berg/EA rig - Questions about value and sale logistics

    Hi everyone, After 20 years as a full-time working bass player I semi-retired last year and it's time to downsize, so I'm thinking about selling my old gig rig. I've never sold anything like this online or shipped something so large, but I doubt there's much of a local market for a boutique...

    Selling Internationally Reverb Ebay

    I buy and sell gear now and then, mostly locally but sometimes on Reverb and Ebay. Recently I've considered selling/shipping a bass overseas on that's been sitting stagnant domestically. I thought it might be of interest to someone abroad. Wondering if anyone has experience doing so from the...

    I think I am going to sell off my pedals - am I crazy?

    Hi TB! I was playing my new bass today and I was playing for a good, long while... Thing is - all of my pedals were turned off and I think I do not want them anymore. Let me explain. My setup has been a fully portable pedalboard consisting of a compressor, preamp, fuzz and a reverb. I have...

    Value of Acoustic Image Claris 1 and Coda Ex

    Hey all, I bought an AI Claris 1 and Coda EX cab back in 2010 - the models are likely from 2005 or so. They are in great working condition with some minor wear and tear. I’ve scoured the internet but can’t find any sales of these units within the last 5 years to refer to as a list price...

    Has anyone used Sweetwater Gear Exchange?

    Has anyone used Sweetwater Gear Exchange? If so, how does it compare to Reverb and/or eBay? The website states that there are no seller or transaction fees. However, that only applies if you choose to get paid with a Sweetwater gift card. Otherwise, there's a 5% seller fee and a 2.5%...

    Should I repair Eden WT550 head before selling?

    I'm getting ready to move states, and I have an old Eden stack I don't use anymore that I would like to sell. It's an Eden WT550 head with two cabs. The issue is that the physical power switch is faulty, and actually triggers the amp to turn on about 10% of the time. Once it is on, however...

    Best way to sell a bass and advice on getting one shipped from another country.

    Is Reverb a Good Site to Buy Used Basses From?

    See title. It seems like TalkBassers are generally fans of Reverb. However, then I also have read about bad experiences with Reverb. What does everyone think of Reverb? I'm sure you can have hit or miss experiences on any online buying platform. Some people are super anti-eBay. I've had both...

I thought his original asking price was a little high. He lowered the price two times, yet still, no one bought it. Now he relisted the...

    I’m up to 3 separate listings and then take downs for my P bass, and I think all three lasted only one or two days each. I’ve done this 2-3 other times for different gear, and it’s usually the product of indecision: I think I want to fund or trade something else, but the reality of making it...

    Reverb seller not happy with 4 stars: WWTBD?

    I left feedback today for a pedal I bought on Reverb. I know this pedal is meant to come with a "manual" (ok, an instruction/spec sheet), warranty card and a power adapter. I don't care about the warranty card because it's been modded (by JHS), so that's void. The sheet is easy enough to print...

    Double Bass Why are several PJ Double Four's selling for $900+ on ebay?

    I'm clueless as to why anyone would ask for, or pay, $900+ for a Phil Jones Double Four. There are one or two on ebay now, and they say "from Japan," at this price. To be perfectly honest, I'm getting ready to sell mine, so I was curious as to what they go for on ebay. They still make it, so...
