value

Hi, What, approximately, would the value be of a Fender Jazz made in Japan...based on the serial and the fact that it says "made in japan" as opposed to "crafted in japan", apparently the bass is from 1985-86. The bass is in decent shape, sunburst, and has a Fender case. Thanks!

Okay, I know we don't have crystal balls yet. But I would like to get a general consensus on the future value of this lovely Ric. It's a 1997 4003 in Fire-Glo. It's an easy 8.5/10 condition. There's a small amount flame here and there(Subtle but sweet). Thanks, FH Please vote in the Poll.

I have a 1965 Mosrite Ventures Model Mark X Bass, single pickup. I have a problem with losing the volume as I increase the bass tone. I replaced the pots a few years ago because they would not clean up. I also replaced the cap on the tone pot. But I don't remember what value I used (I'd have...

Hello, I need R2 value of active electronics. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! I have been offered a 1968 Gibson EB-2DC bass in a trade for a bass of mine but I don't know what to value the Gibson at. It is a very cool bass but like many other Gibson EB-2 basses, the headstock broke off at some point and was repaired (stable but not a pro job is what I was...

So I just bought (brand new) this Fender, Limited Edition Adam Clayton Jazz. The custom shop pups sound great, but with an Audere 4-band preamp with Z-mode (vol/vol stack) for the pups, there is so much more versatility! I cleanly removed the passive electronics and am putting them in the...

Hi, I am using Ibanez SRFF 806. www.ibanez.com/products/eb_detail17.php?year=2017&area_id=3&cat_id=2&series_id=51&data_id=82&color=CL01 I want to know the output impedance of this bass. I have asked to Ibanez about this. But they did not answer. So, I searched the Internet for the example of...

Had my SB1000 for about 20 years now, and think it's time to move it on. It's in great condition and with the original case. Whilst it's served me well, I now have a Ric 4003 which suits me much better, so have hardly played the Aria Pro for a the last three or four years. I'm sure someone else...

Getting a new body and putting together a parts bass. I want to sell the body im taking the neck off of. Its a mexican made fsr alder pbass body and will come with both pickups and guard. Was thinking of selling it for 280$ (350$ CAD). Do you think its worth more or less? One very small scratch...

does any one know what value cap is used and has anyone messed around with different values?

I've been looking around to satisfy my GAS and found something odd. It seems that some basses, most basses, hold their value more if all original rather than having upgraded components, even when those upgrades are better or more valuable than their original parts. For example, I found a...

Not sure if this is the right place to post. I own a 2003 German Warwick Corvette $$. I like to say I have some emotional connection to it but I do not play it much lately and when I do, I love the sound of it recorded but don’t seem to fully vibe with it and having kids, makes Question...

I have a vintage white Squier Matt Freeman Sig that will be with me forever. Without getting into the whole Squier Fender thing, this bass fits me like a glove and I love it. EMG Geezers in there and Chromes and it thumps. And the neck feels amazing. But! I can't quite get the setup exactly...

Hi all, I have the chance to buy a 2nd hand Tobias bass. I can't really recognize which model it is. It should be a gibson era (SN #74XX), am I right?. It is signed as made in USA. It is a satin finish. Very few pictures on google similar (not the same) to this one. In particular very few...

I tend to use 250K volumes for single-coil pups and 500K for humbuckers, but now I'm building a bass with dual Jazz pups (of a sort) in MM shells. I plan to use a 3-way mini-switch for each pup to go from series to parallel to dual-coil. Which value is the best compromise for multiple coil...

There is a drummer fellow near me trying to set up a band. I met up with him a couple of weeks and there's was another guy playing guitar and singing. I brought my bass and played a few on guitar as well. I didn't see it as having much potential. So a few weeks go by and he's had some...

Slightly off-topic dumb amp electronics question as this is for a guitar amp, namely a Mesa Boogie Nomad 45: Main volume pot pretty much dead (horrendous crackle, cutout etc), should be 100k Linear according to the Mesa part number. I want to replace it tomorrow (Sunday) temporarily and the...

Hello, I found a used Cort Curbow4 (red) at a thrift store (looks like this: Cort Curbow4 eltoro59 images ) It doesn't have any strings on it, but appears to be in good shape otherwise without testing the electrical side of it. They are asking $124 for it. I tried to haggle down but they...

I have an American made Fender J bass. Can't find the date based on fender s# charts (mine has a single "E" followed by 5 digits) but I believe it was made around 1990. It has a rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets. Also, it has Hector Montes' name stamped on the back of bottom of neck. Does...

TL;DR at bottom, but I would prefer if you read the whole thing so you understand what I'd like as a response and all that. I am planning on buying my first bass (I am currently renting one from my local music school), and I have two possible options in mind, the Ibanez SR500 and the Sterling by...

Will necks with rosewood fretboards sell for more in the classifieds? Will basses with rosewood necks fetch a premium as companies switch to cheaper wood options?

I don't expect many of you to read this, but I felt it was important to say something considering all the hate and negativity in the world currently. So I was reading a certain thread by fellow Aussie @BAG and was filled with a great deal of pride in the TalkBass community. I'm 18 and have just...

I would like to have a loud mesa bass head with some resale value. What would you choose between a carbine m6 or a titan v12? Most m9 and bb750 are really hard to sell and stay at stores forever, so im not so interested about having one of those. M9 and v12 reliability is questionable and bb750...

Oh man here we go - I inherited this bass from an uncle that passed away few months ago. He was the second owner of the bass and apparently bought it from a high school music program back in the 70s for a few hundred bucks. He wasn't much of a player but enjoyed playing occasionally with his...

More and more I'm seeing vintage gear with high price tags staying in stores for a long period of time before selling. I first noticed this with Gibson EB-2's, but there are others. There is a Danelectro that has been on the local Craig's list as long as I can remember. Of course, old P's and...

I have a '75 Precision pickup in a bass that I'm thinking about unloading. In great shape and sounds perfect. Any idea what the pickup's value might be? Many thanks in advance!

Hello Everyone, I am looking to upgrade from my 1941 Kay to a Carved Bass. I don't if there is a definitive answer to this question but I will ask it anyway. I have been playing my Kay for about 4 yrs. I think I have it sounding about as good as possible for me to make this instrument to sound...

I have an Epiphone Viola bass. About a decade ago, I took it to a Fab Faux show, met Will Lee and had him autograph it (below the strings where a pickguard would be) with a black sharpie. The autograph is in perfect condition, as is the instrument, since I almost never play it. My question...

Hey there. I just made a pretty impulsive purchase online. It's a 1977 ibanez lawsuit Silver series p bass, in excellent condition. I'm still waiting for it to ship. Who has experience with these basses? From what I've read on here they're fantastic basses. However, I'm a little worried I got...

Hi guys, I just recently acquired a Stingray 4, but it is used and shows wear on the back paint job. My question is, if I took this to a luthier to get repaired, how would this effect resale value? Does the value automatically drop due to any touch up painting? Or would it maintain its value...

What's you favorite tone cap value?

This lesson is all about letting notes breathe and adding fluidity/musicality to your playing. It's an often overlooked aspect of technique, and easy to address... Hope you enjoy...

Hi all. I just want to get some input on this. I originally asked this question in the build thread for this instrument but did not receive any reply. Thanks! 2nd build: 4 string, walnut body, 5pc maple/padauk neck with spalted sycamore top

Think it would be a wise idea to purchace a 2017 fender with rosewood board for a collector instrument because of them no lo ger being produced? Pls discuss

So I've got an old Chevy van up for sale for $1000, and a fella is offering me $400 plus a EBMM Stingray in like new condition. I'm kind of interested in Stingrays, but not really into this one in that it's matte black with black hardware, just not my thing. But I'm considering doing the deal...

Hi, What would be a reasonable price for a refinished vintage G&L L5000 with the sickle headstock that doesn't have the G&L Logo? Just a ballpark figure. Thanks

I've got a guy locally trying to trade me this bass for a bass I'm asking 400 bucks for. First off wanted to make sure I wasn't getting screwed on the value because honestly I could really use the cash but if it's a nice bass I could always just sell this one later if I really need the money...

I'm overhauling my bass and I've narrowed it down to two options for the electronics: full out three or four band active OR passive with the exception of an active mix pot like this one by Noll. For the passive + active mix pot option, can I stick with 500K volume and tone pots or do I need...

Trying to decide if it's better to keep or sell.
