Primal Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I would say $150-200 tops for all of it since it is in used condition (none of it has any resale value). I say just keep it, because in a few years you will be wishing you had a guitar to just play around on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 So the latches on the case are torn off? How is that a usable case at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 So the latches on the case are torn off? How is that a usable case at all? ← You can buy new latches, and it'd probably be cheaper than buying a whole new case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) No kidding you can buy new latches. I've built a case before. However, if you're not putting the new latches on with a riveter(and not a pop riveter), it's not going to look OEM. Not to mention, you can't screw latches onto a plastic shell like you can a wooden one. The best you could do w/o bringing it to a case repair shop would be bolt the latches on...you know how that would look. I think it would be misleading to tell some kid that knows nothing about guitar that he's paying for a case that's usable when, infact, it would need to be repaired before being used.

this1timei0 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) just to clarify the actual metal latches are not torn off the straps INSIDE the case to prevent it from opening too far pulled out of the gap between the padding and the side of the case were they were glued. and only 100-200$? i bought the guitar amp and case from my cousin joelle for 240$... if i keep it i only get like 20$ a month to use for whatever and i have like 200 already so what bass should i get?

If not, you got screwed. If you are, that's still a lot to pay for a Squier amp and case... I would look at the OLP basses as a first bass. I know a bassist who owns a Fender Aerodyne (I think thats what it is) and he even uses his OLP for gigs occassionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, it wasn't *too* bad (although, I really don't think Affinity series Strats are worth that much. They were the same as the cheap Rogue strats that cost $80).

thegarehanman Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Oh, I thought the actual latches were messed up. If it's just that strap, it doesn't matter. "Strat Packs" which come with everything you mentioned(except a hardshell case) sell for between $200 and $300 new. A hardshell case for a strat is worth no more than $80 new, unless it's a really high end one. I normally figure a 50% markdown when you're selling used musical equipment that has no chance of ever appreciating. What I'm trying to say is...you're probably better off just holding onto it.
