I've always had good service from Andertons & they've given me hefty discounts for paying by debit card, rather than credit. GuitarGuitar & Coda have been similarly impressive.

Part of the chorus was 'dance, dance, come in a dance' as I recall - long time ago, but Natty Dread Come in a Dance is almost exactly the same riddim/tune. 😎

He would have received the full explanation that has been reposted a couple of times in here. If he didn't receive this, then this is a bug we can look at for him if he lets us know, but it shows at our end as sent and acknowledged. Unfortunately, like many forums, rules like this have to be in place i'm afraid, site runnings costs sadly don't pay for themselves, and it is still an AWFUL lot cheaper to sell stuff here than certain other online marketplaces

No, the original thread was removed, then a warning was raised saying what the problem was and acknowledged. then this new thread was posted. There is sometimes a delay between the hiding and the warning as there aren't full time mods, just people with stuff going on, that isn't the issue. ok, so there is a post that breaks the rules in that it could be a closeted attempt to get people to see the post and PM offers, so this is handled by leaving the post there so people can see it and send PMs about it but there is a big sign saying 'don't do this' at the end? I can't see it being effective.

Thanks very much Lawrie [Burns-bass] for your understanding and support, you give your fellow man a chance and are able to look at the big picture. I must say being a member of this forum for more years than I care to remember, I have dealt with and spoken to many great people, but... I think it changed when the listing fees were introduced and can get suspicious, prickly and petty. I'm a member of many forums of different interests and have never had or seen issues like this. Anyhow thanks for lots of understanding and like Burns-bass I'll take a break. Nick.

Thanks for all the advice lads, very much appreciated. Well, I bought it. The lad i bought off was really helpful. He was more of a guitar player and singer, and only used the bass to lay down some bass tracks at home....he had quite the set-up tbh. He'd had it set up a while ago and still played fine, to me anyway. Said the strings had been on a while, but did give me a new set. Amp works great as well, and sounds good to me though ive nothing to compare it to. Overall, very happy with my purchase. I'll be taking the strings off tonight and giving it a good clean...just because I want to really. And changing to pickguard colour as well.....its going matt black. I will hoy some before and after pics up, but unsure to post on this thread, or if there's a more appropriate thread to post on. Once again, thanks for all the advice, it really is appreciated.

In my naivety I assumed people would think I meant country of manufacture, but clearly there are so many more options I should have considered.

Having completed two other Guitarbuild.co.uk basses (https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/478420-guitarbuildcouk-bass/ and https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/490058-nbd-guitarbuildcouk-bass-2) I wanted to do (at least) one more. Body and neck were ordered and arrived yesterday. Parts for the build have been trickling in over the last few months as I found the bits I wanted. Once again, the whole process working with Jasmine at Guitarbuild.co.uk was smooth from start to finish and the body and neck are everything I hoped for. The body, like the other two, is the P-bass body, except this time it's actually going to have a P-bass pickup :gasp: Main wood is alder with a swamp ash veneer from the special collection. Neck is two piece flamed maple - and it's gorgeous. All black hardware is going to be Hipshot B-bridge, licensed Hipshot 1/2" ultralights, Hipshot three-way string retainer and Schaller straplock buttons. Pickup is going to be a Tonerider TRP1 with a special custom @KiOgon wiring loom - John made me a completely modular P-bass loom that I can easily wire up with or without either volume or tone pot. First config will be pickup straight to the output and only if I don't like that will I start drilling holes in the body. Current plan is to finish the body in clear Wudtone (like the other two basses) though I have toyed with the idea of doing either Olympic white, or... orange. Thoughts on that?? So, without further ado... photos before I get started doing anything:

The Wall - Floyd

I'd rather see the rules enforced consistently than see BC shut down for want of funds. But... If that's what actually happened - i.e. the thread was removed with no explanation given - then it's no surprise the OP raised another one. Perhaps a better response might have been a mod post in the thread restating the forum rules about valuation, and then a thread lock? That's transparent, and it would've been a useful reminder to everyone else who'd responded to the thread as well. Of course this is just my 2p, with none of the facts to hand 😉

They actually have three words for fluffy depending on the context

Maybe ask in the Repairs and Technical section, I don’t know anything about electronics myself

Your post scared me there for minute but I’ve been to the mirror, pinched myself and I’m definitely real. All this despite buying a new boutique bass every 6 months.

Keyboard sustain pedal as expression pedal into some kind of multi effects ?

Balls to the wall- accept

I have to admit, to my shame, that in my younger years I didn’t look after my bass (in the 80s I only had the one) at all. Our guitarist was always commenting on the state of it. Gunk on the fretboard, action really high, intonation not set, I just didn’t look after that bass at all.

The idea had crossed my mind, but I was hoping there’s something already out there before I start inventing 😉😂

Does 'Dead Flowers' by the Stones count?

Now wearing black Rotosound tapewounds....
