  1. Tempting, but I have a fretted five I never play... someone who'll play it should have it. GLWYS!
  2. Pretty! Sadly, I don't need any more basses. Honest.
  3. I bought Lee's cosmetically-challenged White Shadow. All as advertised, seamless transaction, good packing. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks Lee!
  4. Lawrie's a nice guy and a credit to BC. Deal with confidence. Bump!
  5. Does it stay in tune? I have something like this, and it's so badly made I've never tried to use it.
  6. "Sold as seen"... there's a joke in there trying to get out, but I can't quite find it...
  7. Ooof. Good luck, with the sale and a new job.
  8. Microsoft. Many, many years ago - first task in a new job - "install MS-DOS, Windows 3 and Fortran on that PC". That meant making specific changes in the install of both DOS and W3. There were three manual comments about how to do this, one for each piece of software. They were all different. And they were all wrong. Much later, with Windows 10 they made it impossible to do my (software development) job. Never again.
  9. I was more interested in buckle rash.
  10. No pics of the back of the body. Hmm.
  11. I bought some pickups from Mark. All as described, good communication, prompt delivery, excellent packaging. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks Mark
  12. There might be a few more of that sort of thing kicking around than usual; the Great Dorset Steam Fair isn't happening this year (normally in late August), so people who'd normally try to sell there will be looking for alternatives.
  13. Thanks. I have a fretless neck with its name on it
  14. Rats... should have nabbed it yesterday. Bah, humbug. :sulks, in B flat:
  15. Thanks. I thought I'd read it properly, but evidently not.
  16. Okay, I had to ask...... could it be played arco? 😇
  17. I use black tape with Tippex dots. The tape came from Amazon and is reasonably robust at least on my bass guitars (defrets, so the existing dots are in silly places). Unfortunately the Amazon search is so rubbish that I can't find it even though I already bought some and they are keen to sell repeat orders.
  18. Do we know what brand it started life under?
  19. Pics not visible to me - Firefox on Ubuntu Linux desktop.
  20. Mmm. I have too many basses already... Are there dead spots? .
  21. I bought a bass from Michael. All as advertised, well packed, good communication. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks Michael
  22. You might find flats or tapes too slippery to start with - half-rounds might be easier to start with.
