Selling a bass guitar in Laval
Laval is a large suburban city immediately north of Montreal, with family housing, high car ownership and a predominantly French-speaking population. Household goods and children’s equipment make up most of what moves.
The July moving date that dominates Montreal reaches here too, though less intensely. Family households upgrading and downsizing produce a steadier supply through the rest of the year.
On garden furniture and anything stored outdoors, check for winter damage. Snow load and freeze-thaw split frames and perish fabric far faster than a few summers of use would.
Laval, in Quebec, has around 440,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Montreal, Quebec City and Gatineau are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Laval
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

What bass guitars are worth
What lifts the price
- A straight neck with a working truss rod
- Original pickups, bridge and tuners
What pulls it down
- Neck relief that can no longer be dialled out
- Fret wear deep enough to need a re-fret
Working out what yours is worth
- Sight down the neck from the headstock for relief and twist
- Play every fret listening for buzz or dead spots
Getting it ready
- Sight down the neck from the headstock and check the relief, and confirm the truss rod still turns.
- Note the scale length — standard 34 inch or short scale — and check the fret wear.

Put in the description
- Brand, model, number of strings and scale length
- Neck condition, relief and fret wear
Brand, model, string count and scale: “Fender Player Precision Bass, 4 String, 34in Scale, Sunburst”. Short scale is a deliberate search and should be stated where it applies. Say whether it is passive or active, since that determines whether it needs a battery.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
