How do I turn off the Push Notification reminder? Every time a reply is made in one of the threads I have asked for notifications, I get a red circle with a number in it next to the bell icon at the top of the screen. However when I go to see which thread it is I also get a massive note pleading with me to turn on Push Notifications. Is there any way of banishing this so that I never see it again? I don't need Push Notifications. The notifications within the Basschat forum are more than sufficient as I am here every day. And any day I'm not here it's because I'm doing something more important and wouldn't want to be bombard with Push Notifications. Just want some way of saying "Thanks, but no thanks". about Push Notifications once and then never be asked about them again.

Anyone know a Luthier who refrets Graphite Necks?
Hellzero replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in General Discussion
Why not use (sell?) it as what it is? A fretless bass... and a very good one. -
Welcome. Bass IS fun. If you like to move to the rythm bass is THE instrument. Most basses - if technically in order - will sonically work. In the lower price range I would prefer a passive bass. Try some and choose one you like to handle and play, and preferably like the look of. Some cheaper basses may need a little handywork to feel nice and all basses from the cheapest to the most expensive benefit from a good setup/adjustment by a skilled technician. And I will recommend starting with a 4 string. That is the golden standard and will suit 99.5% of all music.

Anyone know a Luthier who refrets Graphite Necks?

Would it be tangless frets and epoxy to glue them in? Sorry, this doesn't help you, I'm just interested!! I expect The Gallery could help. -
Cost me a fortune on both the Luce and Mantle 😂

Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-108 - Excellent Condition £60
rwillett posted a topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Now reduced to £60. I now seem to have a surplus of amps, I've just got a valve Laney LC15R for guitar, both my Basschat 8" icabs are finished and I do have a large bass bin in the garage. This means I need to start to reduce some of the stuff I don't really use. So I'm looking to pass the Ampeg RB-108 on. Brought two years ago from Promenade Music in Morecombe, never been gigged (sadly), never really been played loud to be honest It's solid state, 30 watts and sounds great with both bass and guitar, just turn the bass EQ down a bit for guitar It's a great practise amp, perhaps junior or juniorita might need a nice (and cheap) practise amp for their new bass they got for Xmas. Details from the website: Power: 30 watts @ 4 ohms Speaker: 1x 8" Ampeg Controls: Volume, Preamp with 3 band EQ SGT overdrive switch (Super Grit Technology) Inputs: 6.3 mm jack input 0 dB and 6.3 mm jack input -15dB, aux in Headphone out Dimensions: 433 x 411 x 306 mm Weight: 10.5 kg It's in excellent condition. There is a tiny blemish on one side which is noted in one of the pictures below. That's the only issue and the rest is as-new state. It comes in the original and undamaged box, however I do not have the polystyrene bits that go around it and given the weight and price, postage could be a right hassle. I live near Settle in North Yorkshire and you are welcome to come and try it, and I'll throw in as much tea and chocolate biscuits as you can handle. I often work in Manchester so anything around the M6 down to Manchester/Liverpool is an option for delivery, as is Skipton to the South East and Penrith to the North. Sheffield is also a possibility as I can work there if needed. Interesting trades are welcome with cash either way. However I seem to have a number of guitars, basses, amps (hence I'm selling this) and modellers. I am looking for a interesting decent (but not a dreadnought) quality acoustic, preferably with built in pickups. Something like an Auden or similar, yes I know the cash would be significant coming from me You can just see the blemish here-

A full set of Spot On templates to make a Stingray style bass. Bought for an idea then changed my mind! Decent templates made from 9mm MDF. They haven’t been used though I have sanded the neck template very slightly as it was about 1mm too wide for the pocket. It is now a tight fit. For reference, if you are planning using a standard USA scratch plate then note the position on these templates is a couple of mm different (easy to adjust template position when building). Cheers

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...

I really do not like a warm toilet seat. If I have to use a public toilet, I like to use some tissue wet with cold water to wipe the seat. All to maintain the illusion that someone else’s bum wasn’t just on the same seat. -

Thanks so much for all the info everyone, these forums are pretty quick, I didn't expect this so soon so sorry for not replying before Understandable my fear was that picking up an older Asian brand bass because I like the aesthetic might produce bad results lol but if that's the case then it's great. These were all among the cheapest in my region so it's great to know this is the case Got it. What I heard is that the shielding often isn't good so there's noise when the jazz pickup is on and this is what I saw on a Saturn review but then saw other people commenting on that in a broader sense. But if you never heard of it I assume its people who aren't fans for other reasons being nitpicky! Thanks a lot !! These are a bit more expensive around here. The GSR200 I have seen a few listings for, including a very well priced one so I asked the guy but they wouldn't deliver and I didn't want to travel to get it, lol but that was my first option. Thanks Got it, that's a term I saw floating around but didn't know what it meant. That could be what they meant indeed. Do you think that's what I should be looking for for the genres I want to play ? Thanks

Well not sure what to write really 🤔 .. bought some strings off Tom, they didn’t arrive (Tom showed proof of sending via Royal Mail) then RM sent note saying insufficient payment, apparently they see package as small parcel .. Tom paid the extra though was a pissed with RM coz he’d sent similar before with no issue .. unfortunately when package did arrive it was empty Tom seemed more pissed (understandable) & feels ‘fleeced’ & says ‘he doesn’t know who to trust’ .. which kinda implies I might have taken them or something .. I asked him if he could ask RM about this .. his response unfortunately was to ‘leave the conversation’ hence my reaction is to write this feedback I’ve been a member on here for 18 years, never had bad feedback etc .. Looks like we’ve both lost out but I would expect at least a bit of courtesy shown …

Given the nature of the Bird... I'd prefer collection/Delivery but well packaged and very insured postage is possible. This one has been my gateway drug, and before i knew it i've bought myself an old single pickup model. It's in mint condition, and comes with a great padded gigbag. Pretty light at 3.8 kg, and personally I haven't had an issue with neck dive as these sometimes suffer from. These are proper neck-through models like the originals. As always please hit me up with questions/photo requests! .
