You could sit outside your door on a rocking chair with a shotgun. You might not get the sale though

Have you considered taking it to their house? Or is the thought of being in a house with a stranger the paranoid part?

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!

Put some clothes on as well.

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.

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?

Bump.

Price drop

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.

Price drop!

BUMP. Now shipping!

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.

It's a beauty! I'd keep it but I'm playing the bass less and less these days and I need a guitar.

[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]

I sold a Tech 21 Leeds pedal to Ben. Excellent communication and a smooth transaction. I hope you enjoy the pedal

Cheers,
Mike

Bump and price reduction!

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.

Cheers everyone. Here's a photo of my beloved Stingray. The hard case in the back is from a 30th Anniversary Stingray that I regret having sold

Hi everyone! I completely missed this section of the forum in the two years that I've been lurking, so I apologise for randomly posting ads without introducing myself first. I live in Edinburgh, been playing for 11 years, going through all kinds of different basses: Ibanez, Yamaha, Pedulla, fretless, short scale, etc. only to end up with two that as a teenager I never liked (yes, I was stupid). A Fender AVRI '62 Precision and a Musicman Classic Stingray. I sometimes wish that I had started with a classic bass. The precision truly does all I need and the Stingray is one funky beast.

2.5" leather-backed Moody strap (black/black), probably the nicest leather strap there is. Handmade in the USA with Italian leather. Ideal for heavy basses! It's in very good condition, never been gigged with.

The Tech 21 Leeds pedal needs no introduction. It's a great pedal, an insta-crunch, but I haven't been playing much and I need the money. I've only used it a couple of times in my room, so it's in like new condition.

Hello there! Well, if you know anybody who's looking for a bassist let me know

Hi everyone, I'm a 25 year old bassist looking for a band in Edinburgh.

I play a P-bass and I'm planning to get an amp (recently relocated here). I'd love to play some punk/indie/garage rock a la The Cribs, The Subways, The Strokes. Something gritty that you can jump to. I like funk as well, as my username suggests, but I've been in the mood for some teenage angst music

Favourite bands: The Clash, The Ramones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jamiroquai, Michael Jackson, The Smiths, The Pogues, The Who, anything with Bootsy Collins, Johnny Marr, Madness, The Specials, My Bloody Valentine
