Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[CL400Peavey]

What issue/s you having?

Tire kickers. Am I asking too much?

 

[Kaa]

Hell. Help me sell some basses.

Lower the prices to $200.00 each. I guarantee they will go quickly. More than likely to me.

The new mobile version of CL is so easy to use it's ridiculous.

I know aside from joe you guys probably don't flip on craigslist nearly as much as me, but do you get hassled by friends to help them sell crap?

I think my friends and some family got it in there heads I'm like antique roadshow/pawn stars out of my living room. They'll bring stuff and ask me what it's worth and get mad when I can't answer.

True story: my friend shows up with a porcelain elephant and wants to know exactly what he'll get for it and how long that would take to sell?!?

People also ask my opinion about flipping stuff themselves... I always say it's a good idea if you find promising stuff or a niche, do the research and try and see. They then get pissy that I didn't simply say "yes go do it, I guarantee you'll be rich in like 5 seconds!"

My moms friends son asked me how to get into refinishing boats and flipping them lol. I don't own a boat man, never have, so first steps probably ask anyone but me.

Yeah, I still have my buddy's 80's Gibson Flying V bass. It needs new strings before I can do a setup on it, but he hasn't bought any for it yet. So it's still just sitting in my closet. He wants to put it up on ebay, but asked if I knew anyone who'd be interested in it. I don't...at least that can actually afford to buy it.

Sounds like a good candidate for Reverb.com. That place is perfect for rare stuff with high asking prices.

What's one of those beauties worth?

You have had that a while. He could try reverb I guess. Or I'd imagine something like that is worth posting in like LA or San Francisco and other markets. For what it costs I bet someone would drive for it easy.

Edit: already beaten to the reverb punch.

That probably weighs 86 pounds.

Still not heavy enough for @beebassdude...

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

Sweet, All Them Witches going on tour with Windhand. Weird lineup but those are the best kind. Love both of those bands.

 

[The_Janitor]

Welp, I'm done for the day. I wonder if I'll actually get my amp back.

Good suggestion guys, I will mention that to him. He has an ebay store for vintage toys, skate decks and pro skater merch. So I know he's more comfortable with ebay, but Reverb might be a better market to get it sold.

It varies depending on the condition and finish. Up to $5k for the most rare ones, they only made them for one year. His is all original, except for the bridge. It was retrofitted with a Badass Bridge and the luthier put a metal plate under it to get it lined up properly and looking ok. An improvement in my opinion, the original bridge is a pain in the butt. I think he's looking to get about $2k for his.

 

[bassboysam]

ok i get it, he was in Kyuss. That doesn't mean we all need to bow down to everything he does. I really don't think this deserves all the hype it's getting....

 

[Ron Now]

Sam stop posting audioslave videos.

 

[ampegfuzz]

Lol, I alway thought him vocals were the weak point in kyuss. The band he did right after kyuss was ok too



Basically kyuss 2

 

[Corey Y]

I liked Garcia a lot in Unida. He has to have the right band to fit his vocals though or he can sound really cheesy.

About to put the speakers and recessed handle on tonight, end up being only 60!
