  1. [quote name='charic' timestamp='1395143737' post='2399086'] You could sit outside your door on a rocking chair with a shotgun. You might not get the sale though [/quote]
  2. [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1395006203' post='2397757'] Have you considered taking it to their house? Or is the thought of being in a house with a stranger the paranoid part? [/quote] It's more about wanting to deal in a neutral, public place where stuff like [url="http://www.neontommy.com/news/2013/11/arrests-made-south-los-angeles-murder"]this[/url]. Anyway, I just wanted to check what the protocol was like in the UK since I know for sure that stuff like this would not be acceptable back at home. Glad to know that people are able to trust each other here!
  3. [quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1394892977' post='2396378'] Put some clothes on as well. [/quote] Well, that explains a lot. In all seriousness, thanks for the advice guys. I thnk I'm gonna end up renting a rehearsal studio after all. I'm not gonna go into details but I personally know people who've had bad experiences with this sort of stuff. Granted, it was outside the UK. I know Edinburgh is really safe overall but some habits/precautions are hard to unlearn.
  4. I'm selling an amp on Gumtree and obviously potential buyers want to try it out first. I hadn't considered this issue, but it turns out I'm not comfortable with having strangers at my home. First I thought I could ask one of the local stores, as I've sold basses after having buyers try them out there before. But then I realised it'd be downright rude considering they sell the same type of equipment there. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Am I being unreasonably paranoid?
  5. I already got ahold of a guitar so I'm not interested in trades anymore, but I may consider an AVRI or a Johnny Marr Jaguar. I don't have a scale at home but I'd say the bass is on the heavy side for a Stingray, probably around 4.7 kg. Cairobill, you may be right... I think the regular white Classic Stingrays come with a tortoise shell pickguard.
  6. [quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1378476805' post='2200905'] [/quote] Worry not, mr zed. I have another bass as my main instrument, an AVRI P-Bass I just want a nice guitar to record with.
  7. It's a beauty! I'd keep it but I'm playing the bass less and less these days and I need a guitar.
  8. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For sale is a beautiful all-white 2010 Stingray Classic with a birdseye maple neck in excellent condition. I never played this bass outside my room so it's pretty much in mint condition with the exception of two defects shown in pictures below: one of the pickup poles is a bit faded due to contact while playing, and a mark next to the battery cover on the back (a factory defect) which is barely noticeable. I never really used the string mutes so they're like new. Not much more to say about this bass so I'll let the pictures do the talking.[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]I don't have the original hardcase anymore, but it comes with a gigbag.[/color][/font] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"][b]SOLD.[/b][/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828][/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828][/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828][/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828][/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828][/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828][/color][/font]
  9. I sold a Tech 21 Leeds pedal to Ben. Excellent communication and a smooth transaction. I hope you enjoy the pedal Cheers, Mike
  10. I've been using the ER-20s for quite a while and they're great. No problems hearing the bass, but I found that you get an annoying occlusion effect while singing (the booming sound, as if you were underwater) and my voice ends up drowning all other sounds. Are the ER-15s noticeably better than the ER-20s in terms of occlusion? I also found the [url="http://www.acscustom.com/uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=105&Itemid=52"]ACS Pro-17s[/url], which are supposed to prevent occlusion. Has anyone tried both the ER-15's and the ACS Pro-17s? How do they compare? I'm wondering if they do really work or if it's just a gimmick.
