Hopefully to educate anyone confused enough to think that this is a good deal. Called helping out Bros bro.

Fair enough, I just think snobbery should be next to haberdashery in dictionary...but believe me I know that money is money and something is only worth how much aan wants to give for it.

I mean it's not like I'm buying it anyway, I just thought maybe someone on here would enjoy it but I guess not lmao

I'd think to get top dollar out of it the seller would be better off replacing all the stuff he swapped out (presuming he kept it) and selling it as a straight-up used stock bass and selling the upgrades individually. A PIA compared to the one-stop-sale, yes, and maybe he'll get a buyer regardless... but we all know what upgrades are worth to a buyer, and it ain't what they were worth to a seller.

IIRC, these were well under $300 when new. I think they might have been $225–$250. (The short scale versions, one of which I owned, were about $165-$175.) Being used shaves off 40-50 percent of that, and having mods adds [drumroll] nothing.

And you have to pay tax and shipping? Er...no. The price is absolutely laughable. Hard pass – the laugh right in his face kind. This bass should run its buyer $200 tops, including tax and delivery.

A used Squier should not sell for more than what it cost when new, regardless of mods. Someone else's mods do not add market value, period. When are people going to learn that?

Plus the black hardware is ugly as sin.

If you think the comments here have anything to do with snobbery, you are missing the point. This just isn't a good deal, no matter how you look at it.

No the point is you could buy a "new" one for 250 free shipping and put the 100$ bridge on it along with TWO 70$ pickups and also some 40$? Tuners on it and have just as good of a bass if not better than a mim anything, but I'm not here to argue, cheers brother and have a nice day :meh:
