Nota bene:[color=#0000cd] Information posted by the OP in a later, duplicate, ad, which has been deleted...[/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It's a great sounding P Bass, but I have '62 P Bass, which I keep reaching for so sadly, this one has to go.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've only used it a couple of time outside of my home, so it's had most of its use in the home studio.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It's had a few modifications - The original pickup has been replaced with a Bartolini 8CPB, which is the classic Bartolini P Bass pickup and sounds really fat. The modern badass look-a-like bridge has been replaced by a standard Fender bridge, which I think really suits the classic P Bass look. I have a Rebel Relic lightly aged scratch plate in off white, which I think gives the look of the bass a nice lift (photographs show original scratch plate) and lastly, I've added a tug bar, which finishes of the traditional P Bass look.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Currently strung with D'Addario XL170's the bass plays and sound well. It's previously been strung with Thomastik Infeld Jazz strings, which were a little lighter in gauge and it's played and sounded awesome with that set up.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass comes with the original black factory fitted scratch plate and the Rebel Relic aged plate, Fender gig back and all the bits & pieces that are included in the original sale. The original pickup and bridge aren't included in the sale.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass is ready to go to the first take so no time wasters please.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm based in the North East.[/font][/color] -
That's the spirit (but that means you're a lost soul; you realise that, don't you..? )..!

Here's to the next one...

Good evening, Keith... Just to make you aware that we have a a rule on BC restricting bumping of these to once every 36 hours, to make sure all ads get an equal crack of the whip. If you could bear that in mind in future, that would be great. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation, and good luck with the sale; meanwhile... Have a nice day Douglas

Not good timing for me, but this is a very good deal for some excellent software. Good luck with the sale; it's a real bargain. -

Advice on trading to a newbie in a foreign country.
Dad3353 replied to edstraker123's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='edstraker123' timestamp='1506263360' post='3377404'] All worked out really well - both couriers delivered in a timely fashion with no damage (The dutch courier was a third of the cost ). Both of us really pleased with our new basses. [/quote] -
You've noticed that the joke post has not been deleted, I trust..? The reminder was just to be sure that others don't take this as a precedent. Now move along, please; you're obstructing the pavement.

Good afternoon, Amy, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. I can't help with the bass questions (I'm a drummer... ), but someone will doubtless be along to guide you.

Beware of what you wish for..!

Another 'noobie' making an offer in the topic, instead of by PM. It happens a lot, despite our frequent reminders on the subject. Wait for the PM..?

With great pleasure... [color=#800080][b]The Return Of The Return Of The Return Of... well, you get the idea...[/b][/color] [color=#800080][b]'One From The Cage', from Bleat ...[/b][/color] A daring work from the start. We are taken to a world of mystery and anticipation. The introductory stillness is vaguely reminiscent of a well-known piano work (although it has been interpreted in many forms...), and blends in perfectly with the following movement, equally muted. One could almost imagine a soothing crescendo as the piece progresses from chaste quiet to deafening silence, unbearably holding our avid attention right up to the final uproarious quelling of all sound... Four minutes, thirty-three seconds of pure bliss. Thank you, Bleat, for the rich experience of listening to the sounds in my own head, and no more.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1506101217' post='3376522'] A wise man once said "aimless noodling" [/quote] Yeah, but he was a Mark King fan, so what would [i]he [/i]know..?

[quote name='jay-syncro' timestamp='1506100660' post='3376516']... Can anyone else see the photos? [/quote] No problem here, on a PC, Windows 10, Opera browser. Nice bass; good luck with the sale. Hope this helps. -
Any more late-comers..? [color=#800080][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][b]The Return Of [/b][/font][/color][color=#800080][b]The Return Of [/b][b]The Return Of The Return Of 'Play Of The Day'..![/b][/color] [color=#800080][b]'Way Of Life ', from Rikki1984 ...[/b][/color] A solid, funky bass beat, with an equally solid, hefty beat from the drums. The rhythmic starts up a chordal riff, joined by a buried vocal, treated to such an extreme extent as to be totally inaudible (Yes, I know; I'm deaf... ). The lyrics are... There are lyrics..? Never mind, the relentless grind of the poppy bass, metronomic drums and half-wah guitar do their job well enough. Ah, it would seem that the lyrics have ended. This is the signal for the bass player to lose all sense of decorum and indulge in a wild flurry of thrashing. Luckily the rest of the band stay on track and, now exhausted, the bass recovers its principal role, right up to the surprising 'outro', switching to three-four time. Odd, but it works quite well. Inspired by the picture..? The link is tenuous, at best, but the piece is worth listening to, if only as a warning to others to not let a bassist off the leash too readily.
