[attachment=174879:2014-10-27 22.39.41.jpg][attachment=174880:2014-10-27 22.40.06.jpg][attachment=174882:2014-10-27 22.40.25.jpg][attachment=174883:2014-10-27 22.41.42.jpg][attachment=174884:2014-10-27 22.40.16.jpg][attachment=174885:2014-10-27 22.41.19.jpg] Up for sale or trade is my Fender Jazz Lined Fretless, it has been a great bass but I'm finding myself needing a five-string fretless for musicals etc. Looking for a trade or sale now. £280 So trade options are a five string fretless of at least the same value but also willing to add some cash your way. As far as the bass goes I have added quite a lot over the years I've had it. I bought a white pearloid scratchplate for it and the bridge has been upgraded to a Gotoh. I had all the pots and wiring replaced last year too. I have also added a pearloid thumb rest. There are a couple of dents on the bottom (one of which you can't see once a strap is on, neither of which you can see in playing position) and the G string tuner is very slightly bent, but works perfectly. The bass looks great but wanted to mention for the sake of honesty! Here are the photos - let me know what you have to offer in exchange! Cheers Dan

Last year I was having quite a few issues with late cancellations from students and no solid way of dealing with it. About 6 months ago I made up some payment details sheets which they all get at their first lesson. I give all new students a free lesson to get to know me. I now book everyone in four lesson blocks, paid up front (and offer them a 10% discount for doing this) and if cancelled within 48 hours they pay in full - although as it's paid up front there isn't the awkwardness of chasing money for a lesson that didn't happen. All the students/parents are fine with it and it has reduced my cancellations a lot! That said, with the guys I've been teaching for a long while I sometimes waive it a bit and I find generally if you don't mess them around (or give them plenty of notice if you are going to) it seems to work pretty well both ways!

I have a pair of these cabs bought direct from Mike. They sound brilliant and this is a great price!

I have been looking for something like this for a while - lightweight too!

Lakland Skyline DJ-5 Signature Bass w/East Active EQ -£750
d_g replied to SRBass's topic in Basses For Sale
This looks great, what's the weight please? -
I charge £25/an hour but this is in an area with a lot of pretty well-to-do parents. Also do 10% discounts on booking blocks of four so I'd agree with the £20-£25 others have said. It's worth you knowing that most peripatetic teacher in schools get paid £30+ an hour (at least around here!) On the multiple disciplines, I teach both bass and guitar. All of my playing work these days is on bass but I am a pretty good guitarist (Grade 8 or so) although much more comfortable with bass. There are so many more people looking to learn guitar that nearly 3/4 of my students are guitar. I would say being a good teacher is actually more important that being a good player...to a degree...

Hi all I'm looking to take on a few new students. I teach from my home in Chesham, Buckinghamshire (end of the Metropolitan line) or for those too far away - I do teach by Skype. Have been teaching for 5+ years so plenty of experience. I genuinely enjoy teaching so bring enthusiasm to every lesson and teach all levels of ability and all styles. I can prepare you for Rockschool exams (I have Grade 8, Distinction) and can teach you to read notation as well as working a lot on groove and timing. We can cover the songs you want to learn as well as the general aspects of bass maintenance and playing live and in a band. I teach 4-String, 5-String and Fretless and charge £25 for an hour or £15 for half an hour. Have a look on my website to find out more about me! Feel free to call me or email me for a chat. I give everyone a free first half hour lesson to get to know me and see if I'm the right teacher for them.

Double bass bag (cover) SOLD. Much thanks

Sorry guys, it's gone!

Sold Kez my RS112, all went well and he even gave me a bit for petrol! Nice and honest guy. Cheers

Traded Comfort Strapps with Pete, nice guy and no problems whatsoever, cheers!
-
I bought this a few weeks ago on here because I needed a second good strap. Having bought this one it I discovered that the strap that I already have, that was sold to me as 'short', obviously wasn't as this one is much shorter - having now measured them I know what I'm looking for! I'm looking to get one of the 'long' comfort strapps (38"-45"). If someone has one they'd like to trade then great. Otherwise £22 posted, it's in near-perfect condition. Cheers Dan

still available?

Up here, probably for trade but may consider a sale too is my beautiful Lakland Skyline 55-AJ. I bought it about a year ago from a guy who used it as a display in, what I can only presume was, his very large house. Since then it has done 2 nights of a musical and one jam night (where I was very much complimented for its sound and almost convinced into keeping it). There is one tiny scratch on the back pictured next to a plectrum. Otherwise it's pretty much perfect. Made in 2011, weighs just over 4kg, controls are master vol, pickup pan, mids, treble/bass stack. Let me know it you want to know anymore. Would prefer pick up from south bucks or meet for a trade. Salewise I would be looking for around £800 as it is nearly new but would prefer a trade. Trades I'm looking for: -Must have 5 strings -Probably a jazz bass type -Possibly just passive -I do like active/passive switchable -Not too heavy -Looking for something similar value but there is a possibility of cash either way But PM me with offers, I can only say no! Cheers [attachment=137144:2013-06-15 18.43.43.jpg] [attachment=137145:2013-06-15 18.44.39.jpg] [attachment=137146:2013-06-15 18.44.03.jpg] [attachment=137147:2013-06-15 18.45.17.jpg]
