Should I sell my SX bass?

[thepezident]

I have it for sale for $225. Assuming that someone will offer $150 and then I'll say...I'll take $180 and we'll be good...

I have an offer for $130.
Should I sell it.
The action is a little high and I dont play it. And I wouldn't have to ship it.

I thought you were a drummer?

I would hold out for a higher price

[tonebender]

I'd sell it.

I am a drummer. And barely a guitar player.
You say hold and @tonebender says sell....
Can i get a tie breaker?

I'm liking this thread

Well, you say you don't play it, you say that you're in fact a drummer, you say that you barely play guitar, and it's my guess that it doesn't hold any sentimental value to you.

I'd say sell it.

I guess you can do better with $130 in your pocket than letting it collecting dust forever.

If you don´t have a musically inclined nephew or niece interested in playing bass that you could give it to them, then I'd say sell.

Of course, if you could get a little more it'll be better, but if you're OK with $130, then go.

And after all this, please, let us know what you did

Do i sell for $130 or wait for more $$? That is the question...

$130 seems to me like a very low ball offer given your asking price of $225.

I'd throw $180 back at them with the expectation that you'll probably both settle for around $160 after their inevitable counter offer.

This make sense - and also points to the "sell" option -.

If you bought it new, use it to justify your price. If not, use the argument of "barely used" to do the same. Maybe that person who said $130 is expecting you to counter offer $20-30 up his price and settle up there.

I sold my 6 string SX jazz bass recently for 175

[thepezident]

I told him no go.

I think the appropriate group answer is that you should buy one more bass.

I'm kinda in the same boat with a SX STL60(?) I bought from someone on the old AGF forum yrs ago. It's still brand new, straight ferrules, full thickness. Honestly. I have teles aplenty and my teacher wants a tele so I'm gonna trade it for more lessons. It's going to a good home.

Not a bad deal. The Ursa 2 6 has lost its niche now that Squier has its Jazz bass VI. But I still consider it one of SX's best values!

(and yes, for those that are counting, I have 2 more not in that pic! )

Negative......

I have a 3/4 scale SX bass that I bought back when the world was ending and Rondo was never going to have any products again. Ok wait that happens like 5 times a year....

I think I paid $125 for it and it's kind of fun to goof around with, but I don't play bass nor do I have a bass amp. But my theory is that selling anything or dealing with CL/FB Marketplace morons for less than ( or around )$100 bucks just isn't worth it. If I wanted it out of the way i'd probably just donate it to the school band or someone's kid that could use it.
