For sale is my Martin Guitars LXMe electro-acoustic baby acoustic guitar. I bought it for £389 for my very own Christmas present last year from GuitarGuitar - but now I need some money for other things, and my little old baby is going to have to go. From my history of playing acoustics at every possible occasion, I'm happy to say this is a Martin. Martin quality, Martin sound - but all in a smaller package. The guitar is made from high-pressure laminate (HPL) which is common for a lot of Martin guitars I've seen recently, but I decided on the HPL rather than the solid wood version as it is, after all, a travel guitar - so I figured if I was going to travel, I'd bring this, and want an instrument I could trust, made from a harder material than wood. The sound isn't effected by not using wood, the guitarist in my band owns a Martin 00-15M and dives for my LXMe whenever we have band practise, according to him, it's just 'his Martin, will all the Martin sound, but fun size and easier to play!' so that's one opinion! I love this to bits, and really don't want to sell.. her name is Maria, and I've got a bit attached.. but I do need the money, so I don't have a choice! Included is a padded CF.Martin gigbag, made for the Little Martin specifically, and I also never got around to filling out the warranty form, so as soon as you buy, the warranty can be started, and you will be owning the guitar from new with Martin manufacturer warranty. The only minor damage is a small scratch on the rosette decal, <1mm think and <10mm across, which is I will show in the image. There isn't months worth of wear, as I have religiously kept this guitar in it's gigbag as is advised by Martin and have never taken it out of my house.

I'm glad I had the chance to do business with Adam, and although I was not actually able to meet him in person - I believe my T'bird has gone to a good home, and wish them the best of fun! Very easy to deal with, fantastic communication and organisation on his part, made the transaction a pleasure. Thanks again mate.

FS: Fender Jaguar Bass - Much Abused!!
PerfectionBG replied to Dosi Y'Anarchy's topic in Basses For Sale
*cough* Red... *cough* No, that's not me being serious Have fun with it, I like the seafoam green idea - and I've always liked the look of a Natural Fender Jag.. with 6 strings.. (do excuse that mention..) with a red or tort guard. If it was a red guard, you could leave the headstock - just a natural finished (or blonde?) body. Check out the Fender Jaguar guitars, they have a good variety for ideas. -

On hold, considered sold. I am willing to sell this bass for £250 or offers (I really wasn't sure on the price, so I've been watching a few on several sites as a guide..) with a Warwick RockBag Thunderbird case, but the case has its share of scratches and bumps, but the thunderbird inside it stayed safe which is the main thing! I have had my White Epiphone Thunderbird, for a while now, and in all honesty - it hasnt been used to its full potential. It's such a good player, but none of my basses get much use other than my Jag, so I think I should pass this on. Plays beautifully, and I trusted it greatly as at least a back-up, becuase I feel its built like a brick, and accepts dropped tunings brilliantly! The bass has been gigged, but.. that's what they were built so solidly for, so take a look at the pictures - and you can see just how good the condition is. [u]Trades:[/u] I'm unfortunately not really in the best position for a trade anymore, although a trade which may include a certain sum my way to make up the difference may be better suited - to not leave me without a good back-up, and to save you some money. Sort of ~£100 type bass to trade, if one at all..

I had Red Devils on my Jag for about 3-4 months before any chipping, but Ive had Black Beauties on for over 6 months now, and there isn't a single scratch on them, no chips. I used a pick more on the RDs though, and not at all with the BBs - I like them, but I'm looking for a new brand now, IMHO they are good, but there is plenty of room for improvement. Too much room for improvement.

Ok, everyone, this is a thread about old bass strings. Grow up. (ironic coming from a teenager, but this back and forth is pettier than anything in school.) I made myself a bracelet from the E and G together, and the A and D strings, looked pretty good, lasted a while but they unravelled and I binned them before trying to fix them, lasted long enough for some interest though - might make another Ive also heard of someone who used them to hold up a birdfeeder and make a perch in a birdcage, for any bird lovers among us!

They just work. And they feel, look and sound great doing it.

Ooo aren't they nice! I might put myself down a nice black one And please explain the machine heads in the last image! What is going on there!

The natural harmonic on the 5th fret of the A string, what a beaut!

I think this guy really knows his stuff, just wish there were more people like him in the world. .... .... You know what I can't even say that sarcastically enough.

Oh I love these basses so much its un-natural! I quite fancy the SB models, not a big fan of the new CAR, prefer the older productions red (naturally!) Great instruments, I hope Ill be able to bag myself a new production sunburst when I can afford one... A big when....

[quote name='witterth' post='1361708' date='Sep 4 2011, 12:47 PM']Richard Hammond off "Top Gear"...but then you knew that didn't you?[/quote] I was thinking Hammond too, I was on a TV show with him when I was about 12 and he had his bass in the 'Green room' - but that was before I started, so I wasn't really interested... -_- -

Tascam CD-BT2 Portable CD Bass Trainer
PerfectionBG replied to johnnyacoustic1's topic in Accessories and Misc
I have the CD-BT1, it was a gift from a friend of mine and I didn't really see much use of it. Until recently, I had a play with the features and they just went on forever.. and ever.. and now I never play at home without it! I burned a disk of the tracks I want to be practicing, it took a matter of minutes - no skin off my back. I just have a CD marked 'Bass Trainer' and I change the line-up when ever I need to, the CD thing really isn't restrictive. Mine too has met the floor many times, and although the BT1 is much flimsier than the BT2 it's still not got a mark on it. I love mine to bits -
