I'm a metal player and jam sessions local to me seem to be jazz or folk so I just don't understand the music at all. I've tried jamming along to songs, I usually get the chord pattern quickly enough but soon get bored. What I loved was playing filthy riffs at ridiculous volume with mates and coming up with cool stuff together. Unfortunately, that's gone now and not going to happen again.

Try this. Put on a favourite radio station and between two ad breaks, see how far you can get busking along to the songs. Stop before you get bored. If all you can do is work out the key or a signature riff, that still counts as a win. Plus go to open mics/jam sessions. Always more guitarists and vocalists than bass players. Don't set false barriers. If you have to play mustang sally to get a jam, do it. Next time it will be something better.

I've been there, I came back. Getting out for a while was good for me, coming back was even better, enjoying it more than ever now 👍

From the ones I've seen, woodwork and finishing are fine, if not great. Neck and fingerboard are usually OK, although they go a little heavy with the lacquer sometimes, and there might be some sharp fret ends. Tuners, bridge, electronics - utter rubbish.

Great bass in good condition, comes with hard case. Short scale. Not a heavy bass. Plays well. Not really any damage to speak of. There’s a little bit at the top of the headstock (photographed) but looks much worse than it actually is. I’ve removed the strap lock pins and replaced them with the originals that were odd when I got it. The case is old but fully function and all the clasps work. Since acquiring four Precisions and eying up another plus also needing a Jazz, it’s become surplus. I have an addiction at the moment. I admit it. There I’ve said it. I also need an original Barefaced Compact 15 and an original Midget 😂😂😂😂 Can post at buyers expense or can be collected from BB22SH Any questions please ask.

Greg Bennet by Samick Royale 3. MM Seymour Duncan Designed Humbucker plus a Seymour Duncan Designed preamp. Volume, Blend,Treble and Bass. It has an Gotoh battery box installed replacing the screw on cover. Also has upgraded Wilkinson machine heads. Nice bass that sounds and plays much better than its price tag suggests. I ended up using it as a first for a while as it excels with vintage chorus type effects. Selling as I’ve acquired far too many Precisions and I still have GAS for Fender shaped things 😞 No case with this. Collection preferred from BB22SH. If the buyer wants it posting at their cost and risk, then I’d have to source suitable packaging. It will be securely packaged.

I get it. I only really pick up a bass now when I need to work out a song as my kids are learning. I had plans to get back to playing with other people for the first time since uni but never quite managed it.

Can't believe this hasn't been snapped up yet!! These are excellent basses. I've had one and also the much more expensive Music Man version. To be honest there wasn't that much difference in terms of playability and the sounds were slightly different but IMHO equally good. In fact, there are some Talkbass members who prefer the 'voice' of the SBMM. AND I think the black/tort combo really looks the business. Add to that the lightweight tuners to counterbalance the very light body weight of this one (mine was heavier)... If I had the spare cash right now I'd be buying this. GLWTS.

Last January I sold my gear and gave up. This Christmas I bought myself a new bass and tried getting back in to it but just not enjoying playing along to songs, no good at solo noodling and can't find other people to play with. I'm not happy with how I play. I think I've reached the end. Bummer

To be fair, it could be that five string is strung with a high C and the person playing it has really advanced sight reading chops and can transpose bass parts from treble clef. There are plenty of such annoying people in the world. I can think of at least one that has a YouTube channel. No doubt he would want a t shirt to that effect.

Every bass/guitar description where the seller has used this 'AI' is exactly the same... How eBay think that rolling this out will improve sales, I don't understand!

I have no first-hand experience with these but if I was buying I'd be going for a 3-pickup V2 with fewer push-button switches (looks like one bank of buttons has been replaced by a toggle-switch selector). Interestingly the V1 reviewed for Guitar Interactive by our very own Dood was missing one of the buttons when he received it - nowhere to be found in the packaging either IIRC. Bass Direct have a new black V2 discounted to £899 instead of £950. End-of-line clearance price I guess. -
