    NBD - What goes well with a red wine?

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    Another one!

    Damned comparable instruments as it turns out. Who knew?

    (apart from probably everyone.)

    Buying (then selling on) for profit?

    Ultimately it comes down to who you know. If you buy from / sell to a Basschat newbie with 37 posts then there's not much point expecting anyone to be "community minded".

    I think it took me about 4 years to get up to 37 posts.

    There's a couple of folk like that your way. One in leith and the other a big taxi driver from falkirk. Sold him a Warwick SS2 ages back, "too battered" for me mate, then kept trying to haggle via text. Told him to piss off. Came back the next day and paid the price I wanted. Up on eBay for £500 more within a week "selling my dream bass, played lots of gigs on it" (he couldn't play mind you)
    What was mildly satisfying though when it went for less than he paid me for it.

    I can't play the bass either, but I don't let that stop me gigging.

    Blimey, so there is somebody else who has the album.
    I just haven't got a clue man!

    Absolute bestest version of Song to the Siren EVER on there. The second LP's worth a listen , too, although it doesn't seem to have the cheekiness of Gravelands.

    Oh no, if she'll so easily drop her pickguard for a stranger I'm not sure I want her anymore. Lol

    And after a lengthy discussion about posting naked selfies on the internet, too!

    Sold - Squier VM P5

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Vinny

    The second of two fivers I have up, (when one sells I'll keep the other)

    There's been quite a bit of Squier VM P5 (Precision V?) forum traffic lately, so the search thingy will tell you much more than I can.

    I've done a handful of gigs with this one, and apart from 'I like it' what's there to say about a P bass with flats on? It thumps with fingers, it growls with a pick, it just IS.

    Burst, fakey Tort and a shiny Maple board. (noice!)

    Price includes UK postage.







    SOLD - Yamaha BB424X

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Vinny

    If you've ever read anything on this forum, you know all about these - we like 'em round here y'know!

    This one's had the tuners changed at some point in its life, the ones on it are a fair bit smaller than the originals (so one would assume lighter) though they still seem to be a Gotoh-style design. (with the little Allen bolt in the bottom) They work just as well as the ones on my 415.

    Our model is currently wearing some rather daring little flatwound numbers by Fender. Schmooove.

    Other than that, here's a very tidy and damned playable 424. If it were a 425X I'd probably keep it.

    Price includes postage.

    I've amended my bit to pretty much everything I have, seeing as I now have a car with a very big boot.
