First off, im not selling it on this forum, im just posting in this section because i need advice.

Im going to my local music shop on Friday to trade in my equipment for a new guitar and amp.

I know the guy who owns the place so i should get an ok deal on it.

I was just wondering if anyone could hazzard a guess as to how much my equipment is worth that i will be trading in.

I have :-

2003 (i think) Epi Les Paul Black Beauty (bought from the same shop in 2003 for)
£500 new

Behringer GMX212 V-tone Amp (year and a half old, no gigs, hasnt been above vol. 5 at the most in my place)
£250 new

Axl (looks like a Musicman) Bass Guitar (bought 6 months ago, no scratches)
£150 new

Fat Rat 30W Bass Amp (also bought 6 months ago and never gigged)
£80 new

The reason im selling is i just dont have enough space in my room for all this stuff, and also i think buying the bass was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction cause i hardly ever touch it, lol.

Obviously i know im not going to get the price it was when they were new but im just checking out what i might be able to trade for, i do know the guy who im trading with..... ive just never traded with him before and dont want to get done.

I asked this on another forum the past few days but all most people wanted to tell me was to keep my Epi and amp.... even after explaining i dont have the space for the amp anymore.

Ive also grown a little bored of the tone i get from the Epi. I had a Jaguar before this and wanted to try out a different guitar altogether. Now i think i prefer the fender sound to most others so im thinking of buying a Tele in its place.

Thanks for any info in advance.
Chris

400 dollars for equipment that cost me almost 1000 pounds?

Dude what do you expect to buy something for 1000 pounds and sell it for 800 , not gonna happen, what is wrong with the bass that you didn't touched it!?
Or you just like to have loads of guitar stuff in you're room.
I think for the things about 650$max.
But i will advise you to keep it.
