FBIV

What would be a a good price for an 86 Hamer FBIV? It’s a player with lots of buckle rash. No breaks. All original.

Photos would definitely help~

One sold about 5 years ago for $1500. But it was mint if I remember correctly. I just want a rough estimate. Pics shouldn't matter.

Also, I would like reasonable numbers. Not the overblown numbers that people are asking now.

I myself, would love to own an FBIV with a stadium logo and Thunderbird style pups.

 Closer to $2k (or more) for a thrashed one.  In excellent condition, they’ve been SELLING in the $3-$4k range, especially since the Pandemic.  They were well above $2k 10 years ago, honestly.

Thanks for the input cmatthes. I found one on Facebook market and bought it. I'll have some pics once I get the pink strings off of it.

I have a pleather gig bag for one of those if you need something to protect it.

EDIT: this is a GUITAR bag, not a bass bag.  I skimmed right over the IV in Ralph's original post.  Still, if anyone needs this Firebird GUITAR bag, send me a DM.  Someone already asked if a Standard would fit in it and it won't.  I actually tried that.

I appreciate it. But I have a hard case.

I realized you bought a FB bass and I have a FB guitar bag so it wouldn't fit anyway.  I edited my prior post.  I dig the bass BTW.  I like a good bit of wear.
