Should I sell my bass

[tom once dead]

I might have the oportunity to sell me dean soon. But I'm not 100% on it yet. I Hate the sound of it, and the quality, and I never play it. But I have grown attached to it (and it just looks so good). I really like the idea of getting a new bass.

help me decide! put some sense into me, shoud I sell this bass?

I think you know perfectly well what you should do. As a matter of fact, I am not even going to answer your question

 

[tom once dead]

aww, come on... I saw the GAS levels on this bass are through the roof (for me) i showed my drumer it yesterday, and fell in love (with the look) again.

 

[Budha bass]

your question is IMHO the question a lot of peoples on here has in mind, isn't it ?

 

[tom once dead]

Fine... Ill sell it then. Now the fun begins. What should I BUY?

 

[boabski2k]

Sell it.

Get something you will use, rather than just think looks cool.

ps. dont run while you have that strapped on, same rule as scissors.

 

[tom once dead]

haha, I learned that at a gig, If i run with it the lead comes loose and cuts out...

suprisingly i run into more thing with my esp than the dean. i never slammed the headstock into a door with the $600 dean, but I did with the $2000 esp. *cries*

also really likeing the Jackson CMG Concert, I might ask the local store to try and get one in...

I guess I'm the only one who disagrees. My first bass was a piece of junk. Horrible sound, horrible quality. But it was my first bass and I regret selling it everytime I think about. I know if I still had it, it would never get played but as you said I was "attached to it."

So I guess if the Dean was your first bass or if you are really attached to it then I say keep it. If not sell it.

 

[Psychotic_Hell]

Dont sell it man.
I was hell bent on selling it to fund my Lakland but im glad i didnt. Its a good reminder of where you first started out

 

[erigod23]

I've now sold my 1st 3 basses. All were to fund their replacements. I don't regret any of them. It's a tool. It's just an inanimate object. It's not gonna be sad that you sold it, nor should you be. The bassist is more important than the bass.

 

[tom once dead]

its not my first bass. although I did sell my first one already. really, the only thing that makes me want to keep it is the look.

also now im seriously gassing for a Jackson CMG Concert, in trans red.

 

[sobie18]

Keep it; don't sell.

 

[tom once dead]

do you have any reasons.

 

[sobie18]

Other than reasons of regret and kicking yourself in the ass later. I see & hear a LOT of regrets of folks selling basses here on TB.

Now, if the bass is crap, sounds/plays terrible, send it away.

 

[tom once dead]

it plays ok, but it sounds like a$$, and there are frets not glued in properly, the input jack is stuffed. And I never use it.

 

[vinxbass]

Hopefully someone will buy as bad as you make it sound.

 

[jerseyrichSnr]

Now you make the instrument sound very attractive...

Should sell quickly, knowing that.

Also, there may be a sizable market out there for players who are tired of correctly glued in frets.

 

[tom once dead]

haha.
well I will tell The possible buyer all that stuff before he buys it. it sounds bad to me, its really bassy with no definition. Thats bassically the opposite to what I like.

and this is also why I am selling the bass for almost half what its worth.

 

[JazzMarius]

how about some pics¿?there isn't really a bass without pics!

about the sound, what amp do u use? i have (still) my first bass, a Peavey C4.it sounded crap through a Torque combo with the help of my playing ( crap also ).through my Ashdown it sounds great ( with the help of my fingers also, just a bit better than back then )!

 

[JazzMarius]

oh, by the way, about ur question... i do love my peavey, the look, feel, everything but still want to sell it. i do own a Bongo that fills my need and i would love to get my hands on some jazz bass and mod it ( i so love to change parts in a bass , although my basses are all stock, except for the peavey, Gotoh tuners ).

i don't play it at all and it must go... maybe there is out there a guy that needs a bass ( for starting...etc, that doesn't own one yet ...) and urs would be great for him...

u should let it go! IMHO
