Wow way to make blanket assumptions there mate. I worked in music retail for 8 years, i am a moderator on one of the worlds biggest bass specific websites in the world and I go on tour around europe every year. By what criteria do you judge me unfit to state an opinion? Welcome to the Internet! You must be new! I find it bad form to try and sell a second hand bass for what is around trade price. Wow, who said i demanded anything? I was making a suggestion as to why the bass had not sold. You know for over a year? http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/equipment/58516-fs-esp-ltd-5-string-bass-guitar.html http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/equipment/54225-sale-esp-5-string-bass.html And like a previous poster mentioned, i meant buying as a whole. I just dont want people to buy something overpriced thats all. If a friend of mine wanted to buy a car which i knew was overpriced and knew where he could it cheaper, i would tell him. They can then make an informed decision on where to buy.

In which case, if people truely wanted to support the industry, they should go out and buy new from one of the undiscounted shops. Not buy from the op second hand. Maybe the op by your reasoning should try and sell it in a shop and not online. Online it would not be successful, because people ( Like me) can see its not good value) Give me proof on a change of factory and i will rescind my comment, either way the spec is the same on paper apart from the move to Chrome hardware. And the only factory change i am aware of is moving from Indonesia to Korea, of which are similar quality. OP, is this LTD a Korean or a Indonesian one?

What are you trying to say here? I find it hilarious that people support the OP and state how much of a bargain it is, when it clearly is NOT.

Free country, I dont see anything in the rules to comment on prices here. No one asked for people supportive comments at the beginning of the thread, i dont see any problem in negative comments. But if he sold the bass to someone who might not have as much knowledge of the marketplace, then they could get ripped off, in which case i would called the seller a bellend. If he wants to sell it, and really needs the money, i suggest lowering the price. If he doesant its very unlikely he would sell it. However if morally and ethically he has no problem in selling a bass that is missing a string (and probably need a setup due to lack of string tension), the bass is not in as new condition for only 20 less, then good for him. I know i wouldnt do such a thing. For example, if someone did buy it, they would have to probably by a new string set costing around 20 and have it resetup 20+, which results in a second hand bass that costs more then it does new.

Its not spam as this message is not mass produced and provides useful information to anyone who may be considering buying the bass. Regardless of what you paid, its only worth as much as someone is willing to pay. How many times has this LTD been listed not resulting in a sale? Ever wondered why no one has bought it? I am merely trying to help you sell the bass by giving the reason why it hasent sold yet. Your the one that got ripped off, so stop trying to rip other people off (IE someone who might be new to bass)

Well its brand new, it doesant say its B stock anywhere on the advert, Besides Ltd B 105 Has it for just under 300.

Hey guys. After a backup 5 string as i have a gig coming up on may the 3rd and my only 5 string fretted is out of commission. Looking for something thats 34" scale, Humbucker or jazz pickups. MUST be a good player, Low action, no buzzs or rattles. I have looked in the sales forum and havent found anything that floats my boat. I have provided a fair few bargain 5 strings on the forums before, hoping someone has something around for me! Will consider Fender/Squier, ESP/LTD, OLP, Ibanez (Especially ATK's) and more! I like something with a fair bit of midrange and lots of growl. Needs to be posted to Bristol UK! Cheers! Rob.

It is?! ESP LTD B 105 (GAK) 276 brand new. I would consider buying this bass if it was a sensible price.
