Phil Pro Bass

[Ironmunky]

I don't know the model, hard to find any info about Phil Pro. Body is black with a natural finish in the center. I bought it when I was stationed in Korea, the seller didn't want to sell it to me because I was american, don't know if that is a good thing or bad. It is in excellent condition, very beautiful, tuning pegs as well as all the other metallic parts are all soild brass. I can only assume it is rare being that the company is no longer making guitars and only made them during a brief period, but I don't know.

Hi NeonsamE.

Phil Pro instruments were made in Korea in the 1990's and were reasonably well built. They were mostly entry level so prices were pretty low to begin with.

Here is the issue I see with your bass. It is possible to buy a new Fender Squire Jazz bass copy on eBay for $240. Used Fender MIM Jazz bass copies can also be obtained at around this price.

Phil Pro has no name recognition in the US since I don't believe they were ever imported here. I don't see anyone paying more than $200 for your Phil Pro when they can buy a brand new entry level Squire for $240. I can't compare the quality of your Phil Pro to a Squire since I've never seen a Phil Pro in the flesh but quality claims are likely to have little impact on a novice bass player anyway. They are more likely to be swayed by New versus Used.

So, I have no objective price information for you, but my feeling is you will have a difficult time getting more than $200 for your bass. Depending on where you live it could be a little more or a little less. The only Phil Pro bass I have found for sale was located in South Africa and they wanted $440 for the bass plus a small amplifier and accessories.
