Looking for £750 +P&P or can be collected from Neston or I'll deliver in the North West.10 points -
I put up sale a legendary B C RICH KOA year 80 It is a bass made by hand with some woods entirely from KOA Mount vintage DiMarzio precision pickup of the time powerful sound The electronics is somewhat complex, it works in active passive And the pickups can be phase shifted to change the sound. I include the old case.Sorry friends UK. only for EU Price €32008 points -
My first bass was a Hohner Jack headless. It was bought as a Christmas present and hidden away, but in the weeks prior to the 25th, unbeknownst to my parents I used to sneak it out of its box and have a go every day after I got home from school. One afternoon, I broke a string and because they were headless they cost a fortune. I ended up selling half my railway set to the next door neighbour to pay for a new set of strings and my parents were none the wiser. I'm only admitting this now as they are no longer with us.8 points

Never. Never!! "Borrow" some disco lights on a whirly thing and think it would be cool to have the mains plug sat almost in an extension lead ready for you to press it down with your foot at the end of the intro to the first song and send coloured lights swirling round everywhere like a budget Jean Michelle Jarre show. It will most probably look cheesy, but it 100% will result in your instrument cable being drawn into the whirly mechanism and being yanked out of your bass, making you look like a bellend. Kicking the lights to death doesn't help get your cable back either or continue the song. I learned this lesson so you don't have to.6 points

I'm selling this parts P bass that I bought a couple of years ago when I was just getting back into playing. There's a couple of marks on the body and some dings on the headstock but nothing unsightly. It consists of a Fender Mexican body, A USA Fender neck, A Nordstrand pickup (think it's the NP4), Fender USA hardwear and electronics. Ideally looking to sell as a whole and looking for £450 plus P&P or delivery or collection in the North West.4 points -

I start at the and and work backwards. (The idea came from this very forum iirc.) This means that when you are learning a section, as you come to the end of it you are into familiar territory rather than a part you haven't learned yet. Works for me!4 points

Lovely Nate Mendel signature p bass, roadworn finish, pro set up, with Fender gig back. As original no mods. Great sounding bass3 points -
Been waiting a year for this, there's a build diary some of you have been kind enough to comment on. Awesome build quality, the pictures don't really do the complexity of the grain justice. Plays like butter, Alan commented that it was "very fretless" and he's bang on, tons of mwaaaa all day long. Absolutely love it.3 points

Thought I'd share since the bassline is so badass 😎 The album as a whole is worth checking out if you're into funky neo soul/jazz/beats...3 points

Has arrived, is awesome. What a finish, I'm used to bubinga having a grain to it and I think I imagined the feel of the bass to be more textured, but it's absolutely flawlessly smooth. Gong to take some time to get used to it and the filter based pre, which seems to be capable of some very wide-ranging settings. I'll out a few more pics in an NBD post in Guitars.3 points

I can empathise with that - for anyone living in the Midlands in the 60s/70s, and with the hordes of US visitors to the area around Stratford, there were many irregular pronunciations to be sniggered at, including War Wick - and why not, hordes of our country folk have long taken the mickey out of some Midlands pronunciations (both East and West Midlands). However it seems the Americans have, at times taken this to a new level - a couple of examples:- Wal bass (Wall bass) Rickenbacker (variously Rickenbarker; Rickenbocker) There was a long running thread on Talkbass arguing how Rickenbacker should be pronounced. However having seen the Friends episode when they exclaimed ‘Happy Honikah Monica’ I could see where the problem lay 😀3 points

Selling this 2013 Gibson EB in great condition with hardcase. This has the humbucker pickups that Gibson was making at the time and a Babicz bridge. One corner of the pickguard has split off and as a result you have to hold down the pickguard when you unplug your lead. The top corner near the bottom horn also looks to have split and a small amount of paint seems to be missing. Small amount of buckle rash and a couple of spots of missing paint but these had really thin nitro so I think this could be far worse! Looking for £650 + P&P or delivery or collection in the North West.3 points -

A lovely late 70’s Fender Musicmaster bass in pretty good condition. It’s been around the block having been gigged and well played over the past 40 plus years. It’s got the usual break at the output socket - repaired with a washer, matching serial number under the scratchplate and the pots look to have been replaced but the caps, knobs and wiring is original. It is light and weighs around 3.6 kgs and despite its simple bridge intonates well. I have strung it with D’Addarios 50-105 short scales which means it plays well with a tighter tension and less boomy sound. The original ‘Strat’ pickup is included but I have fitted a custom made ‘Mojo’ pickup designed and wound with the correct pole piece spacing for a four string, this certainly beefs up the tone. The pickup was made to order in the UK and cost a further £73 shipped. All hardware is original with tarnishing to the chrome. Alas the bass has no case so I’d prefer pickup in person if possible or I can ship at buyer’s cost with the neck removed. No trades and I’m afraid UK only.3 points -

This hits the nail on the head. I would tend to agree that these are upgrades but, for example, if someone else has no interest in Drop D, then that is not an upgrade, and it's possible that someone prefers the original Squier pickups to the SDs. The idea of modifications is that it tailors the bass to your preferences, but it's important to recognise that this might be different other peoples preferences.3 points

PRICE DROP TO £1100 For sale here is a lovely example of Nathan East's first signature bass. These were only made for a few years in the mid 90s and this particular model dates from 1995. I bought this bass just before the first lockdown so unfortunately it hasn't had anything like the playing/stage time that I would have liked! It is a truly extraordinary instrument and absolutely no expense was spared by Yamaha in the construction of these basses. The woods are all top quality (especially the stunning ebony fretboard!) The quilted maple top obviously catches the eye as well. The sound of this bass is very focused and (as you would expect from Nathan East) sounds incredible in both live and studio mixes. It's a surprisingly aggressive sound on it's own which really cuts through. Actually one of the best sounding basses with a plectrum I have ever played! The ebony board gives it a lovely top end snap for slap bass work as well. The bass is in fine condition for its age with the exception of a few dings (before my time) that I have included in the pictures. As you might expect from a 27 year old bass, the gold hardware is a little tarnished but looks phenomenal from a distance. I have replaced 3 pot knobs but will included the originals in the case. These basses really don't come up for sale often and that's because people generally hold on to them! Body: Alder Top: Quilted Maple Neck: 3 piece Maple (roughly D shape) Fretboard; Ebony (with MOP inlays) EQ: 2 band (B,T) with adjustable Mids in cavity. Nathan East EQ preset (one of the pots is 3 position. 2 positions are Mid 1 and Mid 2, the third is Nathan's own preset EQ) Weight: 4.2kg (9.25lb) Original Yamaha hard case included in sale. Pick up in person is preferred (I'm about 25/30 mins from junc. 8 of the M20 in Kent) but if you are really keen and live further afield we can discuss possible courier options. Price is £1100 (was £1200) Any questions please feel free to DM 99Bass.mp42 points -
Great bass, hardly played. Slight mark on the back that I'm sure would polish out.2 points -
The manufacture of the camera that took that photo deserves some kind of technological innovation award for snapping that shot without motion blur so cleanly before the headstock buried itself into the basement milliseconds later.2 points

I just bought Anders Limelight Purple P Bass and I'm extremely pleased with it. All the information advertised about it was 100% accurate. He is also very quick at coming back to messages and shipped the bass immediately. I couldn't be happier with the transactions and the purchase, I'm sure we will be doing business again soon, cheers Ander.2 points

I have a Big Al 5 SSS and I would say it is the most interesting bass guitar I own. I am not so surprised they didn't take off massively as they are not a casual band member type of bass. The style is quirky and the pickups/pre amp are unusual. All that makes for a great bass to me and I'm hoping I never have to sell it. No doubt if they re-manufactured these in 2022 they'd want £3500! The Musicman factory seems to have backed off on production massively since covid.2 points

I like the demo players riffage, and I like that just for once we see a demo with what is obviously someone's favorite gigging bass rather than a brand new boutique thingy, but would it not have made more sense to demo this with an actual y'know like P-bass? I'm spared the agony of having to decide whether or not to buy one by the absence of an XLR out. I always go to FoH as well as my rig, so that's a bit of a deal-breaker for me. Yes, I realise that I could use a DI box. No, I don't want to take even more gear to gigs.2 points

Thank you for all your organising @jebroad . The sports hall in our church halls would do, or one of the smaller carpeted rooms, but the parking and load in/out isn't straightforward. Parking may be getting better with the nearby carpark removing the 3hr limit, I'll investigate.2 points

Ello all, Circumstances have changed recently and I've found myself moving to Redditch to further my adventure into audio engineering. I'm looking to hand over the reigns of the bash to someone else this year. Though if there's enough demand and no one else to organise it, I'll be happy to plan this years event. Feel free to reply to this post or get in touch directly if you'd be interested in hosting.2 points

Remember that bum note you played? Yeah, no one else does. Forget about it and enjoy the rest of the gig.2 points
