I'm not sure if there are miscommunications here, but the issue really is as simple as the rules of the forum do not allow threads requesting valuations for equipment outside of the subscribers members only sub-forum that has been linked to in this thread. The reason is people (not necessarily you!) have been known to use valuation threads as a way of getting gear sold without paying to be a supporting member. It isn't personal and shouldn't be viewed as such, you will only get formally warned if you repeatedly break the rules after its been pointed out to you. Best advice is to take advice from the mods/admin team and not members To view the forum in question, you need to be a Supporting Member, which is £20 per year. The £7 price is to post a single sales ad, which I do not believe makes you a supporting member.

I feel like its come down from the absolutely bonkers days of £10k basses appearing everywhere, which is about the time I left that group. Any much more than £6k seem to hang around for a long time at the moment, which gives me hope. I just wish Wal would change their strategy and get a team of builders in and start pumping more out, just to see the collectors panic. I really loved the sound of my MK2 (huge BSSM tone fan) and have never been satisfied by a "clean" tone since, but I hated everything else about the bass. V neck profile, distance between strings and body, thumb anchoring, all not me at all. Perhaps I'm just forever bitter for selling it for £3.5k....

I’ll be bringing my much modified Sire D5 along too. Curtis Novak gold foil pickup an all. I tomorrow Matt 😄 Peter

As @itu says. It's a mic stand holder

I literally just messaged the guy, just before reading this!!

The medium scale ones have 42mm nut width and 2x2 headstocks, neither of which suit me. I have to say the shapes don’t float my boat either. I like the look of the P/MM model but it is full scale only. If he came up with a medium scale P with a Jazz style neck, I would be right there with my wallet open; ditto the P/MM model. Actually, if somebody marketed reasonably priced medium scale Jazz style necks in the UK, I would snap up a couple immediately. They can be bought from China and the USA but you have all the import duty/VAT hassles to deal with. I guess there just isn’t a market here for anything other than full scale offerings and some of those are seriously expensive. I have considered buying a Squier Jaguar H bass just to get the neck and marry it up to a P bass body.

I've been criticised on there for "talking down prices". Lots of collectors. One reason the price is so high is that the prices keep going up. It's a tragedy as so few good bass players can afford one, let alone dare take them out for a play. My fretless custom is out every week, it gets bashed a bit, I don't care; I'm not going to sell it ever. Great basses, but not THAT great. And the vaunted Rush and Tool connections are bogus as neither Mr Lee nor Mr Chancellor sound like they're playing one ( all effects and Geddy's weird low action light string setup). Flea, yes, BSSM has MK2 Wal all over it.
