    Going to make a concerted effort to down size...I'll be advertising some gear next week. If there's anything that you might be interested in, send me a PM.

      Hey mate !! That'll be like a new bass superstore opening. Wondering about that GK10... suppose not cos if you're downsizing that's exactly where you aim to be.

    There are 2 Washburn Status basses currently available on Gumtree. 

    Expect to pay around £700

      FYI, I see them not; presumably they've gone.

      I had one new in the 80s; it wasn't a bad intermediate bass, but I replaced it with a real Status Graphite which was just at another level.

      £700 seems a lot for one of those; presumably the shape adds a few hundred to the perceived value.

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

    I'm sure I have one somewhere  - no idea where that somewhere is currently though!

      Darn - I missed that; I had one in my case in the same room as you!

      Well, there is the ongoing guitar bouzouki ;)

      I know it not a bass but there are soundclips :)

      And I think there's a bass after that...:D

    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??

      With an SD J- pickup and an Aria active pre, that's not a bad buy!

      Is it the same as the one on Facebook?

    Does anybody know what a fair price would be for a pair of Fender HF 2x12 cabs would be?

    Fella I bought something from a while back has contacted me trying to sell me these - he must be skint..

    1. SpondonBassed

      SpondonBassed

      ...or a fence.

      This is no reflection on your contact Mick but I had a follow-up from a Gumtree purchase.  The price was too good to be true.  I decided not to add another transaction to our initial one as it might foster an unwelcome relationship.

      Of course, that might suit some buyers.

      Ha! I don't know - perhaps it's time I joined in the chat...  I'll have a think on it :)

      I never realised she was a member.  I feel the fairer sex are under represented generally on BC, especially considering how many great female players there are out there.  It would great if she contributed more.

    Did anybody here buy the Red Nanyo 310 on FB??

      If I got a red nanyo I'd rub some cream on it.

      Oooh that's rather nice. 

       

      EDIT - Apologies, no need for me to comment on the price. I'll be in the corner reserved for self-flagellation 😞

  16. TheGreek

    APOLOGIES.

    I received a message from what I believed to be a trust worthy source offering the chance to win prizes from Aldi.

    I foolishly sent this on.

    Some people here were included to this forwarded message for which I apologise. I have messaged everybody advising them NOT to use the link but thought it best to do this more publicly in case others received a similar message. If you do receive a similar (virus filled) message I suggest you use an anti-virus app to clean your phone.

    Lesson learned: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

      Thanks for the heads up. I would suggest factory re-setting your phone if you have any doubts about malware or viruses. Please take care to back up your files beforehand. If you are unsure contact your manufacturer and service provider websites and support pages. If you use the anti-virus / anti-malware app please double check that that is what it says it is, that it is the one in the play store / app store with a significant number of downloads and reviews. A common ploy for dodgy apps is to claim to protect you from dodgy apps.

    Sold my PJB 47 cab to another BC. Not a big cab but, God, the amount of space it seems to have made in my living room...
