I'll give you $1500 + a Stratocaster + an Alembic Essence Fretless. Seriously. | ||

I wouldn't take less than $4K for that if you have the case, cable and blue box. A higher price wouldn't be out of the question. I can't be positive about the woods, but that almost looks like an "original" brown bass. | ||

Market is a bit soft right now, but I agree with Bob. 4 is the right number, more isn't beyond reason and less is a steal. Doc isn't far off either, when you add it up. dw | ||

Like asked before, is the set complete including case, power supply and cable? Have you decided what you will be selling it for? | ||

I know the original price at Guitar Center 2 years ago. My opinion is added $1000 to the original price. I am very interested. But I bought another bass on eBay last month. If you permit, I can trade my 20th Anniversary bass + $1000. Eiji | ||

not trying to tease i just wanted to see what the board thought it's worth. i have a heap o cash in it and frankly it's in such nice shape that i am afraid to take it out live, it has virtually no wear and that's hard to replace and i don't want to spill a jaeger bomb on it. if it does go up for sale dela217 has 1st dibs . again thanks for all the info and interest!

In my opinion, being used to the appeal of a well played beat up Fender: a couple of spilt Jaegermeisters could only help to add some more spice to an overmint clean Alembic. Plus they make you stick to the groove a little more... | ||

My '83 Spoiler also shows signs of her age, you can see she's been played a lot. I'ts my favorite, beats the '87 both on playability and sounds. (Though I wouldn't say the '87 is bad  ) Here are some pictures of her "Beautymarks":    On the last picture you can see a "severe damaged area" on the bottom. Still puzzles me what could have caused that... There's also some "wood erosion" around the pickups. | ||

Fc Spoiler, by the looks of the back of your neck you stay in the 'LOW ZONE'! | ||

I would guess that damage was caused by a strap falling off the button and left hand holding the neck by the nut as the bass swung down to graze the floor. Maybe a concrete basement floor at that. Just a guess based on that pic... | ||

I bought this bass a year ago, pretty much in the same state as she is in now. I bought the Fender new in '92 and as you can see I tend to play in the upper regions instead...  (I guess practicing Cliff Burton's solo for years is responsible for that finish wear @ the 12th fret position...) | ||

If you play it, they will come. (The scuffs and dings that is) |
