Anyone got any experience selling a neck?
bassbiscuits replied to Thrillho_12's topic in General Discussion
On the other side of this equation I recently bought a neck for the same reasons listed here - I needed some tuners to replace broken ones on my bass and came to the conclusion this was easier than the hit and miss of buying and trying several sets of unsuitable ones. So yes, there’s definitely a market for necks, especially with tuners attached. -
Mine goes straight into pedal one on my pedalboard (Boss TU-2) without issue. Just to throw a spanner in your spanner, or something

I bought this new in April last year, using it briefly before discovering GR Bass. As such, everything is in mint condition and I still have the original boxes too so shipping is an option. This is an incredibly versatile amp, so much so that I couldn't possibly run through everything it can do here. There are lots of video reviews worth watching, but I am going to guide you to our very own Dood's review here, which gives a good deep dive into the amp. Boss Katana 500 Bass Head (£734) Boss BT-DUAL Bluetooth adapter (£45), so you can adjust settings on the fly via the app Boss GA-FC pedal (£99)l, again, for ease of switching in a live setup Boss VE-22 Vocal Processor Bag (£74), a perfect fit for the amp, power lead and a couple of speaker cables I’ve added some pictures taken today but forgot to add proof of ownership. Hopefully folks will know I am a stand up guy on here and save me the effort of retaking the pictures.

My two pennies worth? I don’t think situations like this ever end well. Doesn’t sound like the kind of relationships you need to sustain a solid, working band. If A isn’t much good anyway, then it’s probably less about B’s ability and more of a power thing against B. Again a fairly rubbish way to behave to anyone you’ve got a meaningful friendship or working relationship with. If there are other members of the band you like working with I’d be tempted to have a word with them about you leaving and taking them with you. Unless this is some very successful money spinner of a band where putting up with a temperamental band member is the price to pay for the financial security etc, then I don’t think I could be bothered to unpick it. I’d be looking for something else.

For sale is my lovely Fender Vintera 50’s Precision in Dakota Red with gold anodised pickguard. Condition is excellent with only what I can tell to be superficial signs that it’s been played. I can feel a slight imperfection in the lacquer along a small area of the skunk stripe, but this is common and has been checked out and ok’d by a tech. Neck is the fantastic wide but not too deep 50’s style and the bass is set up beautifully with a set of DR sunbeams and lovely low action. When I knew this was arriving I looked into replacing the pickup but as soon as I plugged it in, I completely shelved that idea as the stock pickup sounds bloody great and to my ears as good as the custom shop and AVRI P’s I’ve had previously. Also the bass weighs a very agreeable 8.12lb (3.68kg) on my scales. Comes with it’s original Fender gigbag and price includes UK shipping due to the fact that pickups/meet ups are difficult for me at the moment due to work and family commitments and issues. I’ll even include a brand new in packaging K&M Wave Stand (like the one it’s on in the pic). Any questions, please ask away, thanks

Just to throw a spanner in your nice works, I have some of those too and have now upgraded as the noise they generated meant I had to use a separate cable to keep them away from my effects pedal. Not insurmountable, but in the end I had dto get something better

Hello, I'm selling my Stoll 'der legendäre Akustikbass' The instrument has a very big tone, unlike any other acoustic bass. The bass has the following specs: - Spruce top - Maple back and sides - Thick ebony fretboard - 34" scale length - Factory-installed pickup included - Hardshell case included - The bass has no cracks or damage - Weight: 3.06 kg - Current retail price: approximately €4500 Price is £2180 / 2490€ Please see the link to the review: https://www.stollguitars.de/de/testbericht-uebersicht/testbericht-der-legendaere-akustikbass-fretless-bass-quarterly/ https://www.stollguitars.de/de/portfolio/akustik-bass-legendaerer-akustikbaesse-4-5-6-saiter/ Here is an excerpt from the Bass Quarterly test on the topic of sound. The Sound: Unplugged: Well, that already sounds completely different from my "conventional" Aku bass. The bass sounds like a bass, sounds like a bass, sounds like a bass… What you hear here has depth, dynamics, and volume. This bass can hold its own against an acoustic guitar. The sound is warm and defined, and definitely leans more towards a double bass than an electric bass. Just to be clear: Of course, this bass doesn't have the volume of a double bass; the laws of physics prevent that. However, this instrument leaves guitars that have been converted into basses far behind, both sonically and visually. In addition, I think Stoll Guitars has created a new instrument category here, which can be used in terms of frequency range both as a bass and as a solo instrument – in other words, it's very versatile. Amplified: The cable is plugged into the lower strap button, then the amplifier is set, and everything is good. The sun rises! What you hear is a bassy, full-bodied, transparent sound that can handle any bass role. The bass actually sounds more natural than any piezo pickup I've ever experienced. There's hardly any high-frequency emphasis in the frequency range; it's simple and balanced. The promised feedback resistance is also true; you can easily hold your own in a band setting – although the laws of physics still apply. The instrument is sensitive to nuances of attack, allowing for very dynamic playing. I don't miss tone controls at all, and my amp remains set to neutral. A perfect instrument.

Hi. No, there's no website. I don't believe it was very expensive. It didn't strike me as such. Trevor is also up for a chat on prices and is very fair. He also has a luthier made Rik-a-like with a Precision pickup but the scratchplate is much bnigger (I had though of buying that myself).

The rise of roasted necks may initially have been related to CITES but imo it very quickly became one of those classic guitar 'snake oil' things where manufacturers claim, usually without evidence, that a certain component or process gives the instrument some kind of special quality. I definitely first started seeing the roasted necks on high end instruments like Stingray's but now they seem to be available at every price point. Personally I like the aesthetic of roasted maple but, as with most of these things, I'm extremely skeptical about any special qualities, at least to the extent that would make a noticeable difference from a non roasted neck.
