Good Trade?

[SVTDOUBLEBUCK]

Alright so I have this 2008 warwick doublebuck bass, and a guy on CL offered to trade me a 2004 highway 1 jazz bass plus a traynor yba 200 watt tube bass head, I am really looking for a decent passive bass, anyone think this is a good deal? comments.....

seems like a great deal to me... Tough to give up a nice bass like that, but I'm sure the jazz bass isn't too shabby itself, and you get a pretty nice tube head with it. I guess it depends on if you need/want that head.

 

[Doodaddy]

Well, you're looking for a good passive bass; are you looking for a head too? I wouldn't trade for something that I wouldn't need. Drop the head and get cash or hold out and get a more even bass for bass trade.

You'll have to change your name too.

 

[RFord04]

Judging by your current setup, using a B2R solid state head, this may turn out to be a great trade. I used to have the same head, and I liked it alright, but the upgrade to tube would probably make the trade well worth it.

but doesnt your $$ have a passive/active mode?

 

[Vamposaur]

It really depends on what you are looking for. Personally, I would take the trade.

i guess your right...does sound like a great deal!

 

[EagleMoon]

Heck yeah, I'd do it.

 

[Luke19Boarder]

As long as the bass and head are in good condition, I'd take that trade in a hurry.

Alright thanks guys, seems like its a favorable deal on my end, I read the reviews on that jazz and they seemed pretty high, and comes with a badass bridge II, as well as the american fender headstock logo, instead of the newer 70's style jazz logo. The B2R has lasted me through some great shows, but I think I can get some good potential from the traynor, I mean I would love an svt but again, who wants to give one of those up? haha wish I could trade outright for a svt-cl!

 

[Webtroll]

I love my Warwicks but I'd take this deal; the Hwy 1 basses can be very nice and with the head it's like icing on a cake.

 

[N.F.A.]

Sounds sweet to me. Traynor stuff rocks and the bass ain't half bad either!

What about your username?

I wouldn't personally do the trade. I think the Warwick bass is a more "valuable" bass. However, it's in what you want to play. IMO though, you are trading down.

 

[RobertPaulson]

a good amp goes a lot further than a good bass imo. Sounds like a good deal to me.

 

[SVTDOUBLEBUCK]

Yea I am thinking about maybe finding someone that would trade an svt-cl for the warwick, because they are priced around the same, I mean I paid 1600 for the 'wick and thats how much the cl's go for.....Guess I just gotta be supporting member so I can get on that classified forum

 

[RickenBoogie]

Yeah, unless you're wanting that particular head, I wouldn't do it. Your bass is worth much more. And, I've never been a fan of any Hwy 1 basses I've ever played. They feel, well, inferior to an American Standard. That's where I'd draw the line.

I would not do that trade and I don't like Warwicks!










My wife told her best friend she got a hammer for me...... her friend told her "good trade!"

Bear in mind that used,your $$ is worth roughly half what you paid for it,maybe slightly less.The used market for Warwicks is lower than it's ever been.I havent owned,or paid much attention to Fender since the early 80's,so I cant speak for their more recent products,but this trade seems quite generous.I suggest you be very careful with this trade & make certain that there's nothing wrong with any of the gear you'll be getting in this trade.
Will you be more happy with a Fender Jazz than a $$?Only you can answer that.Ya should go play a few & see how they grab you.
Good luck with it.
