    Bargain!

    Some of the audience liked us. I didn't like us. New bass worked OK, but like all P-basses I struggle to hear what I'm playing.

    Not necessary to redrill the tuner screw hole; trim a matchstick to fit the hole snugly, cut it a touch too short, put it in the hole, drive the screw (you will need a screwdriver which actually fits the screw head properly). Done. PMed re the J neck.

    I've a bitsa fretless I put together from a Hohner neck and an anonymous (Kay?) P-body from eBay. It's lovely. Not The One, perhaps, but I will never part with it.

    They are astounding for the price.

    I had a trashed one - headstock cut back, body ruined, cut to a paddle shape and repaired with car body filler. The pup sounded great, very warm. The wood has gone but the bits remain. Thanks for the gen - I never knew what it was

    If you do decide you want to sell it here, here is the place to do it: http://basschat.co.uk/forum/19-basses-for-sale/ and this thread contains valuable info: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/183234-rule-changes-to-marketplace-36-hour-bumping-rule-and-trade-valuations/ Nothing stops you posting here and asking for advice, as far as I know. Lots of people post their pics on Photobucket and then post a link here.

    I particularly like the third photo. Most informative.

    [quote name='BanditSid' timestamp='1401139986' post='2460570'] I had a 4 string Cirrus BXP which I gigged for a couple of years, it was a great bass but it had a really high output level which would sometimes over drive the amp if you got carried away when you were playing and it also got through batteries really quickly, is the 9 volt version you have the same ? [/quote] The early 18-volt Cirrus BXPs ate batteries, for sure; some sort of wiring fault. The later ones were fine. I don't know about the 9-volt. They are fine basses

    Pretty Where do you get strings for it?
  12. alyctes
    Damn it... can't make it.
  13. alyctes
    One string too many, sadly. Is this an American, or a BXP?
  14. alyctes
    I bought strings from Mike. All went well, and I would happily deal with him again. Cheers

    Signed and shared.

    I traded basses with Alan, and I'm very happy. This is the third time we've dealt, if I remember rightly, which should tell its own story; so it was nice to actually meet him. Good comms, a friendly welcome, all quite painless and I'd have no hesitation in dealing with him again. (Also, he is anything but hamfisted. Just in case you were wondering )

    [quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1400935673' post='2458316'] That's a truly awful animation. Is it really necessary? [/quote] I agree.
  18. alyctes
    Where are you based?
  19. alyctes
    Anything particular you're after, trades-wise?

    I'm guessing this is a Kay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Old-Bass-Guitar-With-Case-/181416173495?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a3d3f1fb7
  21. alyctes
    You'll never get rid of that one And you might just find you start looking for excuses to play fretless. Kudos!
  22. alyctes
    They are lovely. If I have a beef with them it's that they can seem too light...
  23. alyctes
    I think we should just brush that hastily under the carpet...
  24. alyctes
    What's the neck like? treetrunk, P-ish, J-ish, Peavey?
