Is this a great deal?

[spwath]

I was looking for a case for my bass, and I found a $100 case for $125 used, but it includes a bass. That seems like a port good deal for a $300 bass and $100 case. What do you think?

That is no $300 bass. A used OLP is worth about $75 tops, IMO.

Oh, ok. Not as good as I thought.

For the sake of full disclosure, I freely admit to not seeing the photos because they didn't open on my device.



Edit: You can get a brand new Gator case shipped for less than $110, and it will handle a MM shaped bass.

Well my bass I have now is a fender squire vintage modified Jaguar bass.

If its the short scale version, Rondo Music used to carry a perfect case for it. I'm pretty sure Guitar Center sells a Musicians Gear case for next to nothing, but that's what it's worth too. I prefer the Fender wooden case made by G&G, but I'm a snob.

Not short scale

Just a thought . . . the bass in the case might be permanently afixed. Like spilled glue or something. Maybe it won't come out?!

I've sold used cases in the past with minor dings and tears for $25 - $35. All worked fine but were road worn.

Those basses go for about $100-$200 depending on condition. They are pretty decent basses and the one in that listing looks like it is in good shape.
Edit: I think its a decent deal

If you want something similar, go for a used Sterling SUB 4.
I think you'll be happier.

I don't need a bass, just a case. But that one came with a bass.

 

[Old Blastard]

Buy a case, get a bass. How can you go wrong?

 

[fhm555]

Take the deal, flip the bass. Case winds up at $50 or less.

Or offer the guy fiddy for the case.

Thats a great Bass by the way...

Especially when you buy it for $150 with the plastic still on the pickgaurd from some guy who bought it and never used it on craiglist.

No, this:

IMO, OLP MM2's are way under-rated. They are excellent instruments for the cash, though not as good as the MIA SUB. I would say that was still a decent deal up to 250 or 300 $. I have owned several and thoroughly enjoyed them.

 

[groooooove]

i definitely thought OLP basses were selling for $280 or so, and were great for the price -

but i haven't seen them in so many years, i could be wrong.

looks good to me. but i don't know what im talking about.
