What's a good price for a OLP musicman 4 string?

[slap-a-da-bass]

I'm looking locally at a officially licensed product, the Music Man by Ernie Ball. It's a 4 string, maple neck...looks to be in very good condition.

I'm looking for some idea on a good price?

I would say around $200

just sold my fiver for 180

Is it a good value? Sounds like it might not be any better than my 80's peavey fury? I was thinking it was an Ernie Ball, guess not.

Well IMHO the Peavey Fury is a much better bass than a OLP. Infact I would love to have a USA made Peavey Fury in good shape

GC used to sell the 4's for $199 and the 5's for $299 new.

I've seen a few OLPs pop up on the local craigslist over the past couple of months for around $140-150. I would think that unless it's in stellar condition, anything over $175 is too much.

This. When I last saw them, the 5 string was 229 new.

Thanks for the replies. I think I'm going to pass on this one.

Wait - Aren't OLP's considered "Vintage" yet?

I just got one for $100 just to keep at my GF's house....and I'm really impressed with it.
The neck feels really good...and it has the MusicMan sound unplugged. The pickup is ok, but the wiring/pots are wack.
I probably would still pay $150-$175 for it and feel OK about it.

I had a fiver in mind.

I've seen the 4's for $159 new at GC a few years ago.

I paid 125 for my 5'er on here.
