I can't decide which bass to sell!

[trayner1]

Keep the Fender, Keep the Spector. Decide between the Ibby and the Squier which one loves you more. I really like the SR505, so I'd ditch the Squier. But they're your basses.

sell the fretless... i want it!

 

[Solarmist]

Thanks for all the replies and votes so far! Please keep them coming

So which one - or none?

 

[queevil]

That Spector is nice. The Ibanez SR basses are a dime a dozen but you may find it handy to have a 5er around from time to time and that SR neck sure is comfy. That fretless P is pure class. I'm sure people drool over it all the time. The Squier is nice but it can always be replaced cheaply and easily. With that being said, I'd sell the Squier first. If having a 5er isn't ever a must then I'd sell the Ibby as well. I'd try to hang on to the Spec and to P if possible.

I don't know. Never thought this would be so hard!

If it is cash you're in need of, the Ibanez probably would be your best seller. As for my comment about "dime a dozen", I simply was referring to the commercial availability of them here. Maple boards aren't a problem here stateside, but across the pond is probably a different story. I'm still sticking to the sell the Ibanez, but I have rarely seen fretless Fender p-basses. Just my $.02

 

[madbassplaya]

I voted fretless P, but only because I have 0 experience with a fretless so take that with a grain of salt. The fretless does look pretty amazing to me though.

I guess the question is which do you play most and how much cash do you need to get?

 

[gary mitchell]

Squier

 

[worshiprocker]

I agree you will probably get the most quickly from the ibanez, if you live without a fiver

 

[CapnSev]

I would dump the Ibanez. I've never played an Ibanez 5er that I've enjoyed. They all have really tight spacing and small necks.

 

[Evil Undead]

I'll just say that's a very nice collection and I can see how it would be a hard decision.

Thank you Sir. Very nice of you to say so

 

[Evil Undead]

By the way, where did you get the maple fretless neck?

I bought it from a guy over on basschat. He had it custom made by a Fender licensed company called.... hmm. I can't remember without taking the neck off. Next time I do that, I'll let you know

 

[Evil Undead]

Wow, I'm really having a hard time deciding on this one.

I'm going to keep the fretless.

I think it's between the Ibby, the Squier and the NS.

I don't really play 5 strings often, but the Ibby is the nicest 5'er I've ever played. And I'm bound to need a 5'er for something or other soon enough, I always do, usually when I don't have one.
And the Squier is my "dive bar gig" bass that I take to the places I wouldn't trust my Euro or my Wick.

So, unless I find some cash very soon, it looks like it might be the NS I'd be gutted to see it go though

If the Squier will net you enough cash for your situation, id move it over the specter. I see no problem playing dive bars with that Specter.

 

[worshiprocker]

I agree with mad. Play the NS-2a at dive bars.... No reason that wouldn't work

 

[Josh Pelican]

You'd have to be insane to unload the Spector. Sure, you're bound to need a fiver some day, but Ibanez is so common. Where I live, you'll never see a Spector in a store anywhere. I don't know anyone else in the city with one.

But if it got beer on it, or someone started a fight by it, I'd probably mess myself.

Spectors aren't made to be played in crack-dens

Ns2as are... Lol

 

[meatwad]

I voted to sell the Squier

 

[XBASSX]

U've got 2 Spectors. Even though it would be hard to part with, could you live with just one?

I'm facing a similar dilema except I'm selling 3 of my basses. 2 are an easy decision. The last one is hard to choose.
