Anyone know how to get a previously locked for sale thread re-opened? I withdrew my P bass but something has come up that means i want to advertise it again

Just worked out "Mr Blue Sky", What a great bassline!
-
Yes it is. I’ve been playing it for a while now. It’s usually our last number before the inevitable encores. I was watching a live performance of Jeff Lynne’s recently (Glasto I think) and noticed that he’s simplified the end of the third chorus compared to the original recording. It’s one of my favourite parts of the song and wondered why he changed it.

Any BCers in/around Southend fancy some live goth/post-punk music action on Friday? My band, The InSect, is headlining. Details below

Listening to Madness - great basslines.
-
Currently learning more Rush as well as working on improving my slap technique (obviously unrelated)

Note to self: in future, never ever ever get a Covid booster and a flu jab at the same time or in the same arm. Ouch, and moreover, ugh. 🤕😷

Never ever buying anything from BassDirect again. Purchased a Tech 21 YYZ pedal through their reverb store, paid for it and then got a message saying it's out of stock and been refunded but my refund will take 3-5 days to process which means I'm out of pocket until then and can't go purchase one somewhere else until that money is back in my account.

@ForbiddenWytch - because BD (and I'm sure they are not alone) have a history regarding stock management. It has been detailed here many times. I've no beef with them, but I know if there is something they say they have, I'll take a couple of minutes to ring them and buy it that way. Disregarding that, why involve a third party in the transaction when you don't have to. It just doesn't make sense to me.

New number plates on the bassmobile
-
I’m afraid it’s not @Rich. To be fair, there are thousands of plates that fall much further outside of the rules, so I probably wouldn’t worry too much about it. At least ANPR will be able to read your registration number (should it be stolen etc).

How do you find out how heavy a red hot chilli pepper is?
Give it a weigh, give it a weigh, give it a weigh now. -
Had a bit of an eye-opener on a bass-oriented Farcebook group this morning. My god, there are some selfish c**ts in this world.
-
Pick yourself up @Rich, the world is full of these morons unfortunately. They should absolutely be challenged, but I’d refuse to further than that as it’s a waste of time and effort. Nothing you can type will change the idiot gene. FWIW, I don’t suffer from epilepsy, but they give me a blinding headache and I rather not go to a show that features strobes excessively. There is so much more that can be done with lighting these days without resorting to them. Ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

Suggested a new song to the ska band earlier ("She's Kerosene" by The Interruptors). Sax player said she doesn't want to do it because there are no "nice chords".
WTF is a 'nice' chord?

How can you safeguard against scams on Fb Marketplace?
There's a bass for sale on there I really would like, but I don't know how to safeguard against getting scammed. 😟-
The vast majority of sellers on Basschat I would have no hesitation in buying from.
Scammers don't fair too well here as the community looks after itself. That said, it can happen, so you're right to be cautious.
Unlike eBay feedback, it's use here usually gives a fair idea of the type of person you're dealing with.
Another option is get another BC member to have a look at it for you.

Customs Form. Does the hard case the bass is travelling in need added as separate item with HS code and value entered ?
-
Bought a Zon Legacy Standard…arrives tomorrow 😁

Gotta love online sellers who live in the derrière end of nowhere but refuse to post pedals*

Keys player went sick at 8am this morning for tonight’s gig. Spent the day piecing together a set that we can perform as a trio. It will be interesting if nothing else!
-
We performed and we got paid, so I think we got away with it. We were up front with the venue and gave them a chance to cancel us if they wanted to as they weren’t getting what they booked. They said they still wanted us, so we played. There’s nothing quite like performing songs you’ve not played in a band environment before. Eyes were all about for cues etc. Definitely keeps you on your toes. I’m not sure I’d be in a hurry to do it again any time soon, but at least we now know we can.

Had my Serek out for a gig on Saturday just gone. While I KNOW it's an amazing bass....it never fails to surprise me how good it actually is, how fun it is. Love it! Was a fantastic gig!

Here's a bit of a mystery for the bass connoisseurs out there: from this image, can anybody figure out the brand of this bass? A colleague is trying to find the answer and I've been struggling! Initially thought it could be a Schecter of some description, but that doesn't appear to be right. A long shot, I know, but thought I'd ask on the off-chance. Thanks
