Price range for 4001v63?

[Jim Dandy]

I have begun to look for a 4001v63 and am wondering what is the price range for this model?

I appreciate any assistance!

Carl - check for my reply in the "appraisals" section in the Rick Marketplace sub-forum....

Evan - Thank you so much for your help! I didn't see the appraisal section there.

Note to moderators: It seems that I put this post in the wrong place. Since Evan has already very thoroughly answered my question in the appraisal section, please feel free to delete this post.

Thanks!

Let's put it this way: I bought my '88 V63MG in 2002 used for $1500, so it's a good bet you can expect to pay quite a bit more than that today.

I paid around $1800 for a mint condition 2001 4001v63JG last month from a store in Japan (which are normally quite high). Does this have the thick neck? I have no way to compare. They've also got some new RM1999s for about $3600.

Fantastic bass but I think it would be an example of an over priced 4001v63. Especially in this slow economical situation.

Up again, and yes too pricey. I've played that one in the store. Typical '91 neck, slimmer than the one on my '93 V63. Very nice shape and feel.

The new ones RIC did for the Japanese market I would think.

I thought so John, but I thought they were going for over 5K?

not sure why that number sticks out, but I'd be surprised that they didn't sell upon release.....

I need to get another MG V63 someday! That one looks nice, but is way too much!

Remember, you have first dibs on mine, Kev.

Actually, I just did a search and came up with TEN (reissue) 1999 FG basses for sale in Japan right now.
