Tribute L2K for a Warwick Corvette?

#2
You'd probably get more money from the L2k if you sold it privately, music stores just don't give good trade-in values. After all, they have to mark up your instrument and try to make some money from it...
By the same token, you might find a used Corvette for less than $900 by private sale. For instance, there's a Corvette standard in the San Francisco Bay area for $450(!) on craigslist. Add $50 for shipping and you get to keep the Tribute!

that makes sense bro. I however, it is hard to gaurantee the quaility of something like that and I've heard that bubinga wood can be easily damaged. I understand that for somethings it is best to use private onling dealers, but as far as bass goes, I am a man who needs to touch it first. you know? One of those things. I'll definitely try to sell the G&L privately though. that's a good call! thanks a lot man!!

Definitely try to sell your bass rather than trading it in. Putting it up on your local craigslist is a good start. Throwing it up on the Talkbass classifieds would open up your sale to all the fine folks here.

I may be interested as well… PM me if you're interested in selling, I'm local. No promises, but I'll give it a look.

Back to the "buy private" argument:

There' a website known as "Phatduckk" that searches for gear on craigslist in multiple cities (see link below):

You can select the areas nearest you, type in "warwick corvette" (or whatever you're looking for), and see if anything is available locally.
Last night I searched for Warwick Corvettes across the country, found a couple nasty good deals; I know you want to keep local, but it's fun to look!
