    One of the things that puts me off seeing the Zombies again, tbh - Mr Argent's bitter and lengthy tirade. Left a nasty undertone to the evening.

    Hej! Välkommen till basschat My aunt and uncle lived in Höör in Skåne for many years. We had lots of great winter and summer holidays there. Beautiful part of the country and lovely people. FB

    I have actually and it's made a huge difference. It had ancient flatwounds on there. Still curious about the geezers though

    Quick update - so yesterday the neck arrived from Musikraft. Very happy with it - the quality seems very good and it feels very comfortable. I was stung for around £60 import duty however. I am thinking I agree with those who posted here that it would be a shame to cover up the nice grain of the ash, so I am planning to probably do it in a cherry burst.

    I regularly dep with John Verity who replaced Russ Ballard as singer/guitarist in Argent. There’s always some spiel in the set about how God Gave Rock and Roll to You was and Argent song before being picked up and made uber famous by Kiss!

    First and foremost I hope this doesn’t discourage you from moving forward with building basses. I’ve been admiring your daphne blue jazz (but I already have two jazzes 😆). It’s bad luck to have a difficult customer experience out the gate. What I get from your post is that you want the customer to have a nice buying experience but then not have buyers remorse! Maybe you offer one free service, to be redeemed within a year, with each instrument (adjusting selling price accordingly)? Or match whatever statutory obligation for returns/refunds is common? There’s a bit of a reassurance there rather than, for the buyer, this sense of slight anxiety that they’re buying something from a builder who, as yet, is “unproven” - despite what they may feel about the instrument in person on the day. Personally I need a bit of time to warm up to an instrument and decide whether it’s for me. I think this echoes the point about selling a service, which may be far removed from your aim to enjoy building basses and cover your costs. If it were me I’d accept the instrument back irrespective of who’s right and wrong in the situation, offer a full refund, chalk it up to experience, and live to fight another day. Path of least resistance and all that, which may well be better for your heart, if not your wallet.

    Ultimately if you are a business you'd be obligated to stand by whatever the relevant legal statutes are in any given situation, which could be in your favour under certain circumstances. I have to say that if I'd bought a bass from a shop/business and a fault had developed in 2 weeks I'd not be impressed and I'd not be accepting any assumption/assertion that it was my fault. Would I be entitled to a full refund... I don't know but as it wasn't my fault and if I'd lost faith that the product wasn't fit for purpose, I'd not be accepting that I'd be losing £50 for something that is a verifiable issue (being brutal in my interpretation). I'm afraid that if you are going to do this as a business you are going to be encountering all sorts of individuals some of whom could well be awkward and it's a part of the 'job' that you'll need to develop a skill for.

    PRICE NOW DROPPED TO £300. Easily the best speaker cabinet I have ever used: am downsizing to lighter Genz Benz cabs as I rarely play live now. The Eden D210XST Cab is loud enough to be heard and yet still small enough to be used at home or in a small studio. For those players who need a portable, high-performance rig with even more low end than the XLT, Eden has designed a 2 x 10" cabinet for their XST woofers. Punchy and clean, the D210XST produces a full and clear tone through its two 10" speakers. It's excellent for delivering articulate bass lines with volume. This 2 x 10" cabinet handles more power than many 4 x 10" cabs on the market. The D210XST offers huge bottom end with its cleverly-designed tuned and ported cabinet construction and speaker selection: the low end is full but tight, the mids are open and well-defined and the highs are clear and crisp. Durable build quality makes this ideal for touring and live performances. All Eden enclosures are constructed with 5/8" thick void free plywood with full dado and rabbet jointing. Massive internal bracing prevents vibration and keeps the sound deep, tight and clear. Exclusive Eden Cast Frame loudspeakers and Eden Cast Bell low distortion tweeter horns are designed, hand-built and tested in their own factory in the USA. Very Good condition. Comes with an official Eden cover. Power Handling: 500 Watts Impedance: 8 Ohms Speakers: 2x10" Eden-spec Eminence EC1060XS speakers Tweeter: Eden Cast Bell low distortion Crossover: 3.5KHz @ 18dB Frequency Response: 30Hz - 14KHz Sensitivity: 103dB SPL Connections: Parallel 1/4 Inch and Speakon Dimensions: 23" w x 18" h x 18.5" d Weight: 59lbs / 26.8kg NOW ONLY £300. Collection from East London preferred, although happy for buyer to arrange a courier.

    Some cracking songs in there. Kansas, DP, Rainbow and Whitesnake being my favoured ones. Dave

    I think you need to consider how you’re selling. A hobbyist assembling basses in your home is different to someone who is effectively operating as a business. The former has no real obligations to the buyer, the latter does - including giving the buyer the chance to return an item should they choose to. The problem with buying cheap parts and assembling them is you don’t have any QC. It’s positive that you’re dealing with it. Hope the bass gets sorted and starts making music.

    There are very different customers out there. Although your approach is humble, everyone does not think the same way as you do. Be prepared for similar customers, and raise the price accordingly. Think that you sell service, not instruments, and you may find a functional concept. Have you been considering some special neck shapes, light weight bodies, or something that would be your trademark? If I was you, I would learn the offering of few companies. One very good one could be Limelight. I have tried two, and if I was into J and P, the feel and price were very, very good. https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/limelight-custom-gallery/

    HazBeen replied to Chienmortbb's topic in Bass Guitars

    I am with @Beedster (hey mate, long time). My take, this will work just fine, but it is very dependent on what you do with what pickup. I quite like the idea of the 4 mini switches and this appears to combine a J with an 80s Precision Elite concept - which sounded really good. J/J - will sound like Jazz with both pickups open. It does appear the bridge J is a little more forward than 60s position, so it will be a little rounder sounding Single P - will give the P vibe P + bridge J will give a P sound with a little more clarity - due to J placement I expect it will be very P like P + Neck J will give a pretty woolly sound, that will not resemble en EB-0 and is not too useable I expect The P/P setup will actually sound quite similar to the P + bridge J but with a bit more zing Bridge P - ehm well… just don’t go there https://www.vintageguitar.com/16076/fender-precision-bass-elite-ii/

    The comparison between a Multi or a load of pedals was the one that's kept me on the multi trail for some time. It was certainly what I looked at before I bought my POD Go.

    I had one that just about kept up with a drum kit for rehersals
