I went to a music store in my lunch hour yesterday. I found a fretless, lined 4 string MIM Fender Jazz bass (used) for approx. 500$. Good price or not?
That's pretty much what they go for in our countries. I think you could haggle a bit to bring it down a few $10's, but not too much. I bought my MIM J for a bit less than $500, but that was back in the days when the dollar was still moderately priced here (as opposed to blown sky-high as it is today). These days you probably can't get them for any less than $500 new, at least where I live you can't.
We live in Europe.. American basses are pretty expensive here.. But $ 500 for a used MIM j-bass is a lot of money, but since it IS a fretless.. i'd say it's a pretty moderate price..
Hmm.. actually.. oysterman.. you have got a point there.. i mean.. my MIM jazzbass was 1395 guilders, that's about $ 571 hmm.. all depends on how the jazzbass looks and sounds ofcourse..
That´s the price for living in Iceland It is used but in a very good condition... Thanks for all the comments
