Value of the good ole' BT6
Hi all, its been a while..
I am just writing to find out some information on the value of late 80's BT6 basses. I am in particular looking at BT6's in the UK. I know of one, 1988, quite deep wear around the pickups, bridge finish slightly pitted, finish wearing on machine heads, could do with small maintenance etc.. yeah, well worn in places you expect, pretty much sums it up. If anyone has a rough ballpark, just for my reference, I'd very much appreciate it! Many thanks! Matt |

So, new cost today (from our website) less the restoration costs which we can only quote with the bass in hand plus the Mojo and maturity equals the value.. I think! Restorations can easily run up to and over $2k. Just be thankful this is not a Double Bass. Then just add a zero! |

Superb, thankyou for the info Ken...I do think its fantastic how we can ask the main man himself all the questions we need, it provides such a fantastic customer service and a happy feeling... Trust me, when I go into full time employment after college.. you'l get an extra order for an MD7 from me. Im very impressed!
More to the point however, the bass in question could do with a complete overhaul, it is playable, just plenty of wear. So I should be looking at roughly $4500-$2000=$2500 or £1300? Any more comments? |

Very often, it's better to buy 'new' unless the used Bass is in good condition or for sale cheap so you have room for the repairs and will still fall under the price of a new one when done. Like buying a car in a way. If it's beat up and needs tons of repair work, the owner shouldn't expect too much, vintage or not. |
