  1. Heading to Rockprest with the Evanescence tribute tomorrow, if anyone wants to say Hi!

  2. Respectfully, why is it always the sellers with the highest asking prices who make the least effort with their sales pitches?

      Yeah I did that too after I posted the above. They seem to come in waves. Not that many to be seen at the moment - which is a good thing 👍

      I suspect it because they're not really bothered if the bass sells or not, because they don't need the money.

       

      I always sell at a realistic price because, if I'm selling, I need the money.

      I absolutely agree that lack of info is irritating, but you can always request more pics etc., although it may or may not be forthcoming, of course. What I really don't understand is why some sellers list a bass having seemingly made no attempt to clean it up - gunk, layers of dust, and grease and crud on the fingerboard make me want to heave. Having said that, a few years ago I bought a used bass online from a well-known specialist retailer, and it arrived in a similar condition (which hadn't been apparent from the photographs on their website) smelling like it had spent its entire life in a kebab shop. I nearly sent it back.

      Do you get a link to the post that has been reported? For example, I reported a spammer post the other day, I couldn't send a report for the spammer account specifically, only the status post they'd made.

      We do :)

  4. Having a bass you dearly want but a bass you need to sell first is an agonising first world problem.

      As is impatiently buying a bass when funds are available, only to see a nicer one come up for sale a couple of weeks later...

  5. Mooer 'shroom footswitch toppers - does anyone have a spare one they would bequeath to me?  I need 11 so the 10 pack didn't cut it!

      Cool, no worries. Back in the spares bag it goes then! 😀

  6. Is it me, or is the Classfieds slower than ever at the moment?  Noticing a LOT of stuff hanging around for ages that would have been snapped up not so long ago...

      I have taken to putting stuff up on eBay as well. That's pretty dead too. Loads of watchers, no actual offers (apart from the occasional absurd lowball chancer, eg £600 for my vgc black/black/maple US Jazz)

    3. martthebass

      martthebass

      Haven't used EBay in a while, whenever I was buying I always thought pricing was optimistic...agree with Clarky on the 'chancers' though.  Currently selling my JMJ and FB market place is a joke....full of the 'I send handler to collect these item' crowd.

    4. Clarky

      I have given up for now and withdrawn the two basses I was trying to sell on both BC and eBay. Reason being I spend too much time checking in and bumping and - on eBay - answering idiots!  A kind of relief to not keep wasting time ... and I am sure the market will return to something like normality at some point

  7. Well done to those who reported the "too cheap" sales threads tonight, hopefully saved a few people from scams!

  8. Does anyone have a Mono Tick case they aren't using?  DM me!!

  9. Check out my bands new single if you have a minute?

      Very good indeed.

  10. In a weird situation where I have £1k-£1.2k to spend on a new bass and I just can't find anything I want in that range 🙃

      Two options:

      1. Just put the money aside until something appears

      2. Find a luthier who'll build something that you do want, pop the £1200 down as a deposit and save up the balance while you wait for the build to complete...

       

      Option 1 makes most sense, option 2 is best though, of course.

      I travelled around 300/400 miles to various locations in Scotland/York/Leeds/NE to try out gear that was either in stock else where, or unique to locations. 

      Took me 2 years to spend the money and I'm still not happy as the shielding/ground is still an issue (fking Charvel is doing my head in).  So I feel your pain. 

      I did think about making a Custom bass. - Lambo Orange Jazz, Roasted maple 12' Radius Neck with black hardware and Delano pickups + John East Pre-amp.  (I still do...)

      My list after a long time came down to: 


      And now I'm quite enjoying a Musicman SUB I picked up for £200 quid.... Swings and roundabouts!

      Firstly, @Ruarlbeat me to my suggestion ;) 
      Secondly, I'm with @eude- if there's nothing grabbing your attention currently, then hang on to the dosh until something crops up.
      Otherwise you may end up getting something you don't gel with.... and sod's law - something you really fancy then turns up!
      option 3 though, is that I'm sure I should sell something ha ha

      GAK have them listed as "In Stock", doesn't say how many they've got though.

      Two, sadly.  Which would be fine, but I don’t fancy paying a £5 odd delivery charge more than once!

      I know, there always seems to be some knocking about, but there's hardly any and they're all wickedly overpriced.  Typical!

      Stop whining Kev, they only made 1 bass in fluorescent lavender pink large flake sparkle with competition stripe in 1996 and that went to a dealership in Alaska, you'll have to be less picky lol.
