Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part 14 - The Search for 13

Dude, that's a nice fiver. I'd hold onto it, personally. Maybe through on a tort pick guard and some different knobs. I know Warmoth's don't have the same retail value as a "vintage" Gibson, but Grabbers don't really retain that much value anyway. Unless they have a semi rare finish or they're in really nice condition. I bought mine for $400 (and paid $100 for parts and maintenance) and sold it for $550, with no bridge cover and no case. Just my $0.02 though, I know you've got a high turnover on basses. Something else cool will always come along either way.
 
On a side note, listed the OLP local til Friday with special incentives. If no hits, it really is going off to ebay and I know someone will pick it up. So, two tenative items for ebay happening soon. Hopefully I end up with about $350 after all fees and whatnot. Got to try and stretch that for the DI, fuzz, zoom recorder thingy, and maybe strings or a guitar stand or something.
 
If the Warmoth was of use to you I'd say screw the resale value and keep it, because it seems like a great quality instrument. I've got a few pieces of gear that are worth way more to me than I could get selling them. If you don't have any interest in using it though, definitely trade it. There's no other useful measure of worth when it comes to gear IMO.
