    [quote name='Norris' timestamp='1383309216' post='2262922'] When I was at school any instrument that used electricity was taboo. There were no rehearsal rooms, let alone the stuff you get in schools these days. ... [/quote] This. And drums as well.

    What does it sound like? (Not after a sound sample, just a couple of words

    I bought some flats from Graeme. All very smooth and with good communications. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks

    I had a very brief go on morgano's Warmoth when I bought his Hartke kickback, and it's really nice. If this is a matching neck, it'll be lovely

    I'm not generally a fan of Antigua, but I do like that. I think it's the way the edge of the scratchplate echoes the edge of the body.

    BC member tommorichards had an Epi Blackbird for sale a couple of weeks back.

    I'm old enough that it was classical-instruments-only if you wanted to do music at GCE or A-level. (I think back then I agreed, as well. What a ditz I was.)

    pretty... Would an Italia Mondial Classic float your boat? Black. Cash my way.

    [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1383131931' post='2260507'] ... I've been looking for a cheap unlined fretless. I'm bloody tempted to go for this: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_400fl_tbk_modern_ser_b_stock.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ser_b_stock.htm[/url] But, perhaps I should hold out for something better. [/quote] I had one of those or something very similar, bought four years ago so the model might be different? Excellent for the price; the nut needed lowering and the knobs were cheap and not very straight.

    What's the album called, please?

    [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1382960008' post='2258370'] Might be neater and easier to open up the pocket by a millimeter then reduce the neck. [/quote] I'm surprised. Is it really easier to open up the pocket than to get at the sides of the neck? How does that work, please?

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1383167108' post='2261189'] I have a few irons in the fire but I'm just not feeling it lately. I'd like an upright gig but I don't feel good enough to try joining anyone decent yet. Without sounding like an arse I can play it and I'm sure there are many players gigging on elec bass at a similar standard to my upright standard but its a long way off my normal ability on elec bass if that makes sense? [/quote] Join somebody sub-decent, and drag them up with you

    I bought a Westone P-pup from Alan. Nice simple transaction; all as advertised, arrived quickly and decently packaged. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again. Thanks Alan

    Bump for a nice guy and trustworthy seller.

    [quote name='Bloodaxe' timestamp='1382886013' post='2257545'] OK it's not the prettiest Jazz in the world, but nothing a scratchplate wouldn't sort. The price seems fair to me, & the sellers' description is accurate. Here we have an established member trying to get shot of some stuff (for very good reasons) & getting stick for it. Is this really on? P. [/quote] I agree. I've dealt with John; he's a nice guy and I don't think he deserves this sort of sniping.

    Keep your eyes open on eBay. There are a few floating about.
