Saw a tuxedo colored MIM Jazz Bass for $500 at the paen shop. Seemed pretty straight and in good shape.
Yay or nay?

That is about the going rate I see around.
Condition dependent of course.

They are about $700 new, right? Seems a little pricey for a pawn store find.

Unless you like the black and white I’d say skip it to the color ones. White is always the safe route when it comes to selling. Green is easiest to sell.
I got mine for $450 a few years ago so the seems about right but only if it’s in great condition. I’d say: Don’t feel like you need to buy it because of the price… but if you really want that bass and it’s in great condition don’t feel like you are getting ripped off.

Thanks guys. Will pass on it for now.
Seems pawn shops nowadays want to try to reflect the prices of used instruments at music stores…which is a mistake, in my opinion.
And I know for a fact they would have less than $200 in it in the first place, hard pass.
