    Does anybody have a copy of "The Bass Chord Encyclopaedia" they would like to sell/ swap/ donate to me?

      Chords on a bass - have you taken leave of your senses man?

      I bought a 6er....chords are one of the suggestions for progressing my playing.

       

      Seen a few YT videos where they sound good.

      @walshy has a man-with-van he uses regularly. Is that the one you were thinking of, Mick?

      Ahhh yes @walshy's man with a van is a diamond, as is Walshy!

      Went for a tenner then!! Maybe needed a bit of simple sorting but silly money, 2 bags o' chips. Those heavyweight combos are a bit out of fashion though. And Kings Lynn is a satellite of Holland😀

      Rats! I live about 20 miles from Lynn. Mind you I am selling at the moment rather than buying.

    With 4 basses for sale I'm beginning to think that Fleabay85 has been murdered by his wife and she's selling all his gear.

    If you live nearby can you pop round and check they don't have a new patio.

      Ha ha!  Perhaps it's the other way round & he's sorting out a business flight somewhere?

      If it wasn't collection only I would have kept it to myself.

       

      Bargain for somebody hopefully.

      Not too far from me... and I really don't need one but even I'm tempted. This won't hang around long surely!

      Love the colour. I'd definitely take it, were it not for fiscal and geographical challenges.

      Parcel sent on 23rd Feb still stuck in Coventry - "prepared for export" - (according to the Tracking info). Email sent to the courier for an update.

      Frustrating...

    WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!

    Don't lefties suffer from Bass GAS like the rest of us?? Just looked at the Lefties for sale thread, 8 pages in 6 years...sooo disappointing...

    You're all letting the side down..😉😉

    1. Marc S

      Marc S

      I'm a leftie, but play right handed basses....
      Does that mean I get "double GAS"? Or "mis-placed GAS"? ;)
      And thinking about it - I play Double Bass too, so is that "Double, double GAS" or "Double mis-placed GAS"?

      John McVie gets a shout from me - first found him in The Bluesbreakers when he was about 21/22. An early influence of mine. Then he got to marry Christine Perfect... ;)

      I bought it when it first came out.

      They played at Wembley arena to promote it, but Lindsey Buckingham quit and they had to get two blokes to replace him.

      Still a good gig though.

  16. TheGreek

    Frustrating that the most talked about topic at the moment is the dissatisfaction with the un-usability of the forum due to  pop up ads.

    Does anybody have any idea when it's going to be resolved??

    1. Chownybass

      Chownybass

      I agree... what everybody SHOULD be talking about is my new basses. 😂

      Yeah yeah, they've got strings and they make a noise. Now, about these adverts... :lol:

    Is this a good price for an American SUB??

      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 😃

    There's a very nice MM Ray on Gumtree for £999 - bird's eye neck and RW fretboard.

     

    I'm sure somebody must be interested.

      That must be the "Erniball" stingray, Mick! 

       

      I agree, that neck looks beautiful.  If only I had a spare grand right now!

    NEW COMBO DAY - check out my review on the Ashdown EVO 180 11 here:

      Nice. Used an Ashdown 4X10 combo as backline once, wasn't looking forward to it much but it turned out to be excellent - huge, punchy and warm. Led to a dalliance with Ashdown that lasted for some time. Until I got GAS again, in fact... ;)
