    Anybody have an Ibanez srsc 805 cerro five string bass they would trade??

  2. TheGreek

    Does anybody know where I can get a brass 5 string nut - 42x3.5x6mm - for my Yamaha BBG5?

     

    I can find a 45mm but not the 42mm. Just get one of them and file/ grind 1.5mm off each end???

      That's probably your best bet.  Finding 42mm for a 5 string isn't going to be easy in any material!

    Just been looking through the "Basses for sale" thread. 

    For the first time in ages there are some amazing, not often seen, basses for sale.

    Choice of 2 Pedullas, headless ACG, to name just a few .

    I'm glad that I'm skint, otherwise I would be buying more basses that I don't "need".

      I dunno ... £17k for a Wal seems perfectly fair to me. :D

      You wouldn't believe that it - students.

       

      Bomb Squad carried out a controlled explosion before letting residents return to their homes.

    Couldn't find any bass related items to get myself for Xmas/ birthday so bought an electro acoustic guitar.

    Am I going to get my membership on the forum revoked??

    Does anybody who is attending tomorrow's Bash have a two pin power lead that I can relocate for them?

    Is anybody confident enough using WordPress to help another bass player with a project?

    It'll be a paid project. 

    Please contact me for more details.

      Until a list of requirements are known , it’s difficult to know what to suggest.
       

      If it’s an online shop there are quite a

      lot of options, though all have pros and cons. I use OpenCart for my online shop , but I host it on a virtual private server. OC is free but it's a lot of work. 

       

      Perhaps the person wants a blog, lots of options there. 

       

      Could be they need a simple website for their band and booking tickets?

       

      There appear to be an awful.lot of experience offered here but until we know the person wants, it's difficult to recommend a solution.

      Bit steep I'd say unless it's absolutely mint with an original case blah blah.. , mine was about 600 squid, circa 18 months ago. 

    2. Jonesy

      Jonesy

      Saw that and he's well over priced it imo, he's also got another bass for sale that is a couple of hundred quid over value so could just be chancing his arm? Just to put in context, there's one on FB in Lancaster for sale for £450, which is v cheap and wouldn't be for sale if I was nearer it 😃

    What can be done with a gig bag with a broken zip??

     

    I have a nice case in otherwise good condition with a zip that doesn't work - reluctant to throw it away if it can be rescued or repaired.

    Anybody??

      Sometimes alterations shops can repair or replace these types of zips...worth a try?
