Probably a 'get 'em hooked' listing to wait for the real pix.

That's a poultry excuse, frankly.

Indeed.  I do wonder how fast the bridge will wear though. 

It would help to know where you are...

I bought strings from Martyn.  All went well and I am happy.  I'd be happy to deal with him again (this is my second transaction).  Thanks!

Brian sold me a coat and some shirts.  All went well and I am a happy bunny.  I'd be delighted to trade with him again.  Many thanks - Mike

I had one.  Sold it.  I am a richard head.

I bought it.  It's not going anywhere, sorry.

Pretty

I don't know, it could be worse...

... he might have finished it.

Song's no more than OK, but the fretless is worth a listen.

Tempted.  Let me have a think and a check on something.

Nice colour

Dean Martin, 'Sway'.  We're going to pick it up again and I've forgotten how it goes.

If I ran eBay I'd make the first picture of any listing uneditable, so you couldn't delete it

Me too.  Used to lean it backwards against the wall; one night it fell forward, shed it's fingerboard, cracked its bass bar and loss lots of the little patches old basses acquire inside. £1500 repair bill and that was 20 years ago.

 

Probably less of an issue with a small laminate bass.   But why risk it.

Exactly  It's certainly what I'd do with a cello, which is a smaller instrument altogether.

That's a fabulous colour!

Really? If no stand then lie on its side?

My dad used to stand his in a corner, neck (and bridge) inwards.

He would lie it on its side at rehearsals and on stage (orchestral and jazz player).

I bought Keith's lovely little Bassix EUB.  All went well (apart from the traffic on my end); Keith went out of his way to ensure things were as smooth as possible and did so while moving a bass for someone else as well - on a family occasion!  He's a nice guy, as well.  No hesitation in recommending him as a Basschatter.  Thanks Keith!

Surely it’s just as easy to take a quick picture of the actual item as it is the light fitting in your front room? In fact I already have pictures of all my basses on my phone so it wouldn’t take any effort at all. 

Yes, but you actually like basses

Dag nabbit...

I really liked it but I couldn't justify keeping it

The pups are really, really nice.

Mmm.  The end-pin retracts, I assume?  (Just wondering if it has major implications for my car...  though if kodiakblair could get a DB in his little Fiat...)

That's got to hurt

I'm not generally a fan of the Fender look in basses, but this is an exception.  That is very pretty!

GLWYS!

I really like those. I hope they make flats

Nice colour
