Is anyone else dressing their stands in tinsel or sprinkling reindeer dust on their SVTs? Here’s Santa and one of his............. I’ll get my coat 🤪11 points

He seems to have a reading age of around 10 years old and hasn't worked out how to use a VPN - his IP is blocked and if he DOES figure out how to sign up from somewhere else it'll be easy to spot. He thinks we're all 'sad keyboard warriors with nothing better to do' and he's 'out gigging' all the time, so it would be ironic if he did sign up again... Anyway he can if he likes, it just means we have more info on him for the police.10 points

This is getting silly. Get the small claims court and the police involved now. Ignore any stories this idiot dreams up and just go through all the legal routes you can. Also suggest a call to FB and perhaps a legal letter re the pedophilia before someone as simple as the thief thinks it is real and causes all sorts of issues for you with employers etc9 points

Withdrawn - it’s far too good. Bought in August ‘20, it’s a stunning Bravewood with slab board, ash body, Radioshop pickups, and tons of mojo. Sounds outstanding. Bravewoods sell themselves, so I’ll just leave it there. Weighs 9lbs according to the original listing on the BW website. ***The last photo, form the Bravewood website, is closest to showing the colour of the bass. I may retake photos if I get a chance. No issues, and well looked after.6 points -
I've just watched this on YouTube and thought that it might help some people pass a few minutes, I've been a fan of this channel for a while, it's mostly guitar repair but his time he tackles a very worn and modified Jazz bass, i think it's a very sympathetic job, and according to the comments the owner is very pleased with the work.

As some of you know, I've started collecting late 80's-early 90's Charvels, Jacksons etc. Well, I picked a gorgeous 1988 Charvel 2B on Friday. It's a beautiful metallic blue colour and a lovely weight too. Despite all the hairspray and Brut on it, it's cleaned up well and sounds fab. I've managed to snap half of the tone pot shaft off, but other then that it's definitely giggable (should they ever happen again). These Japanese instruments are super quality and because they're still unfashionable, they're very good value for money too.5 points

Moon J J 4 String Bass - Early 80s -MIJ Jazz Bass- Open to Trades Youtube video of a similar spec (note - not the actual bass): £850 shipped Mainland UK. Moon J J 4 String Bass - Early 80s. Made In Japan. Some photos show when it was for sale at the Bass Gallery - and also my own my recent photos. Set up very well indeed, very tactile and easy to play. Its still wearing the flats from the set up at the Bass Gallery and is set up wonderfully - the playing action is just effortless. I believe the pickups date it to the early 1980s. Good overall condition given the age. A small scratch on the upper horn and a small scuff near the jack socket, please see photos. Therefore good condition for a bass that is c40 years old. Controls are Volume / Volume / Tone and a pickup selector switch. Also a push pull on the tone pot, for a mid boost voicing - see video above. Nice and punchy for a passive bass Weight is 5.3KG Specs: Fingerboard Material Ebony Body Material Ash Finish White Number of Frets 22 Scale Length 34" Pickups 2 JB Pre-Amp Passive4 points -
Following representations from the Basschat Massif, No 10 Downing Street will commission the new 'Boris Bass' and Dido Harding will be tasked with ensuring this is distributed ( via a friend from the golf club with a £17m contract ) to all Bassists in the UK. Loosely based on the Emperors New Clothes, the Basses start changing hands at well over the £5000 list price, even though none will ever be delivered. A Mark Two version with 4 Tiers is promised for the following December ( and touted as the ideal Christmas present) but in August 2021 Boris, reacting to criticism he left cancelling Christmas 2020 too late, cancelled it early this time. Trading of Basses and other Musical items with the EU and other countries was halted until 2023 when the backlogs of food and vaccines at the Ports were eventually cleared.4 points

The problem with marking where the notes are is that you train yourself to look at the fingerboard. You’ll contort yourself into an odd shape to do so which is technically incorrect. Probably doesn’t matter much if you’re enjoying playing at home, but if you then need to read music, sing or just fancy looking at the audience it can knock your intonation off. I’d recommend learning to play in tune with a drone. You’ll benefit from it in the long run.4 points

Got this recently in a trade from will4bass, but i need the cash. I can also be tempted with a partial trade for a four string bass. This is a Sawdowsky NYC 5 string jazz bass, which has been modified. It is a unique bass with a very beautiful finish. Added were 2 period correct Bartolini pickups, with a three way toggle switch per pickup-set. That way you can really create any sound you like:) The maple neck is from '94, really nice to play and seems to be refinished in a yellowish clear coating at some point, done by a professional. Pickguard is custom made. We were not sure about the body, but is seems the original finish. The bass has some playwear but nothing serious, it has been taking care off in a good way. For more information, please contact me with a personal message. I would like to have cash (offers welcome), but a partial trade with a four string bass is also possible. The bass can be shipped in the original Sadowsky soft case. (For people from the UK, i can ship till the 23th of December). Thanks for looking!4 points -

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 😍I bought it for the look and happened to be seeking out a short scale. I'm not one for coffee table basses and more into the old school look. It screams rock n roll to me. The world would be a dull place if we all liked the same things 👍3 points

I’ll do a full NBD tomorrow. I’m still physically knackered from the emigration / move and still have to put flats on it today before I really get stuck into it. I should do a NMD as well. At times it was a brilliant laugh thanks to @Dad33533 points

So, this guy defrauds you; is caught bang to rights; makes no attempt to deny it; and instead of returning your hard-earned or even putting his hands up, he basically says "yeah I've got your money, and now I'm going to harass you because you asked for it back"..? Unbelievable. My opinion of this person is completely unprintable.3 points

Just started using the WL-20s with both active and passive basses and so far so good. No question it's an easier set up than the SH, particularly if you don't have a pedal board with the SH set up on. Early days and home use only so far, given Covid, but first impressions are positive.3 points

So Mick, as you are reading this ( cos you have just text me to say you are) why not do the decent thing, pay people back, apologise and stop ripping people off across the UK. Especially ripping off fellow musicians/bassists who are having the absolute shittest of times with no gigs ( I know you are boasting about still gigging with your pantomime buddies) and low on funds and you 'sell gear' with absolutely no intent of sending it, apart from back to yourself! The absolute lowest of the low and I hope everyone including myself gets their money back and you pay for being an absolute silly man We aren't 'sad keyboard warriors' its a community who gives a stinky poo and when someone like yourself acts in this abhorrent way it needs to be highlighted and dealt with.3 points

I’ve been a bass player on but more off since 1980. I’ve played guitar for decades as my first and foremost waste of time and money but rediscovered my love for all things bass around a year ago when I was diagnosed at 55 with Raynaud’s syndrome in my hands. (A painful condition that affects circulation and often leaves me unable to feel anything in my fingers making guitar playing and macrame/embroidery pretty redundant pastimes). So, i sold most of my 6 strings and I dragged my old 4003 out of the loft. I found I could still do a bit to amuse myself and got back into all things low-end. I do like pottering with rebuilds and refinishes and recently purchased a Vigier from Geddy’s Nose on this very forum (a top bloke and talented refinished himself) as a work in progress (but he’s done such a good job there’s not much I can improve upon. Here’s to a brighter 2021. Wishing you all as good a festive break as you can make of it. Andy2 points

Similar story here. Shoulder/neck issues plus arthritis in my thumb joints. The joy of getting old! I bought a strandberg Boden 4 this time last year and love it; great sound and super light at 6lbs. during lockdown I bought a hofner ignition club bass, very light and ok to play. I have upgraded the machine heads as I read comments about them failing, also put some decent ‘Beatles’ strings on. For the money it’s good. haven’t played it at volume yet so I don’t know if the semi hollow body will give feedback issues.2 points

"Maybe I should have stayed in bed" is the best rock n roll story I have read. I don`t really like the Man band`s music as such but Deke`s books are brilliant. It was typical of me that just as I got into his books, the man passed away. Cheers for the link M, I will have a listen later on.2 points
