My son is drumming more nowadays so I said I'd put this up for him. I don't know a lot about these but it sounds nice and has a decent action.  From googling I'd say £220 is a fair price but please let me know if I'm way off - thanks.

edit - now £205

further edit - £195 now Final price drop £180..... yes I know, bonkers price :-)

£160 - surely it goes at that price !

    It seems to me that is a good price.

    Thanks Prowla, I can't seem to shift anything nowadays - things are slow despite the price !

    Those Crafted In Indonesia S.U.B. models are on a par with Squier Vintage Modified series instruments. They play nicely straight out of the box. Some of the hardware and electronics leave something to be desired but, then, whaddaya expect for the price?
    Be seeing you.

    I've never aspired to owning an MM (though I quite like the complete wrongness of the Bongo), but if this Dutch Auction goes down to £150 I'll have it!

    Sorry Prowla , it's sort of almost gone (fingers crossed). 

    There are 2 Facebook dudes bidding £185 on it and both are trying to convince me to deliver it (I'm not going to as they are both about a 6 hour round trip).  I'm trying to see who will make the most effort to meet me half way :-)

    Yes, GLWTS; hopefully they'll have it!

    (Someone on basschat was interested http://basschat.co.uk/topic/310166-usa-musicman-sterling-bassveryvery-low-price/ , but they have rules about selling things, so I pulled back from posting a link there.)

    This is still here guys, I'm going to drop to a final price of £180. I'm away from Tuesday or next week for a week so unless you can get to me before then I think delivery will be delayed    .I'll give it until I'm back on here at that price then it'll hit Facebook again.Ta

    Now £160 collected (or I'll drive out a little bit to help) . That's cheap isn't it ?

    Thanks FF , it's next stop Ebay as I can't let it go any lower.

  • DrCorneliusDrCornelius Frets: 6476
    Had an offer today close to the asking price but Dr Cornelius Jr doesn't want to go lower. I can't be bothered with eBay yet so it's still here.

    I'm not sure why it's not sold, but my Dutch Auction offer still stands... :)
