How much would you say a BB2005 is worth today?

[David3000]

I have this bass guitar that was given to me as a present 12 years ago. It was new and wasn't used by anybody else before. I used it for around 4 years after which I quit playing music. I didn't sell it back then because I always start playing again one day, but eventually I didn't.

The bass is in very good condition, basically untouched for the last 8 years during which it "slept" safely in its very protective case. I probably took it out just 2 or 3 times during this time. It never had any damage.

I actually never considered selling it before, but now I want to buy a new motorbike and some extra cash would help.

I am asking those who have a certain experience: how much would say such an instrument is worth today?

[David3000]

MattZilla... it's from 2005.. you kidding me or what?

 

[MattZilla]

2005??!!!!!!!

THOSE ARE WORTH $25,000!!!!!
YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A BB2005 BUILT IN 2005, DO YOU?! THAT WOULD BE CRAZY!!!


1) read the forum rules
2) don't sell gifts. Just don't.

yep. This was given to me as a present on January 1, 2006... so unless they built it on the same morning, it was built in 2005. I hope you're not f**ing around

You need to be a supporting member to get price checks, but I can tell you that it isn't worth 25k.

 

[David3000]

I see.
Yeah, that seemed a little extreme.

Those pre-Obama basses are worth a lot!
