I just noticed I put a topic in the wrong category...
Here it goes:


I'm thinking of selling my '82 Gibson Victory Standard.
It has an Artist neck (factory original) and everything is original EXCEPT for the pickup, which is a Lane Poor and the finish, which has been done by an American vintage dealer . It just had a new set of Elixir strings and a full cleanup of the neck, fingerboard, bridge,... You name it!
The original Gibson case is included, but only a small part of the logo is still visible.

There were no other modifications done and it has no damages except for some usage wear...

Now my big question: What would a good price be? Would it be more interesting to look for an original pup and sell the Lane Poor seperately?


Why am I thinking of selling? Well, I have a bit too many basses and recently bought a '78 Fender MusicMaster. It was love at first sight (I like shortscale and that strat-pup has a great sound!)I'm also gassing on some other Gibson basses like RD's and EB's, but for that I need fresh money so I'm selling 1 or 2 basses.


Edit: About 2 hours after originally typing this I bought myself another Fender Musicmaster bass from '72 so I'm pretty sure the Victory is leaving my collection now...

Without a doubt I would remove the Lane poor & sell separately. They are going for insane prices, like $300-$400 each that is if you can find one. I would not settle for less than $300 or hold on to just the pickup. They are only going to sky rocket in value.

Replace it with another pickup and sell the bass. That will get you the most money.
