Questions people ask about this model

What is the Bass Station II used for?

Bass lines and leads. It is a one-note-at-a-time analogue synth, so do not expect chords.

Does the firmware matter on a Bass Station II?

Not to the price. Updates are free, so update an older one before you sell it to give the listing more to say.

Is a used Novation Bass Station II a good flip?

It sells very fast at the right price. Buy under £190 and include the power supply.

Selling one on

Real synths (Korg, Roland, Moog, Novation, Arturia, Nord) sell very fast. Home arranger keyboards (Yamaha PSR, Casio CT) are slow and low-margin unless free.

Boxable up to 61 keys; 76/88 key units are collection or expensive courier.

Where this price comes from

This is the range the flipper extension uses for a used Novation Bass Station II in working order in the UK. It is a starting point, not a quote: condition, extras, the original box and where you are all move the price, and faulty ones sell for much less.

The condition bands above are the same multipliers the extension applies to a listing. On a live Marketplace listing, flipper checks that range against real sold prices and live eBay listings for the exact model, works out your profit after fees and flags faults the seller mentions. It is free while in testing. Join the testers.

Buying one to keep? The bands above are a fair price to pay for each condition. See how to check a listing.
