Stuee

OK I'll take this point by point for clarity... [quote name='Machines' post='1105841' date='Jan 28 2011, 07:52 AM']Is the app free to download for phone users ? It seems to be $3 according to their website, I think not many people would really want to use it, might be worth a poll at some point. It's not worth the effort if only a few people want it.[/quote] You are correct, it's £1.79 for UK users ($3) which I think a lot of people would pay happily. I already own and love it. The thing is you're not just buying it for BassChat, you can use it with over 12,000 other forums. DoubleBassChat have it going on - if you know any of the guys over there why not ask them about their experiences? Same for the folks at TalkBass. [quote name='~tl' post='1105850' date='Jan 28 2011, 08:04 AM']How about installing a mobile theme, rather than relying on a dedicated app? That way, links opening in Safari aren't a problem. IP.Board seems to have a built in mobile theme (as of 3.0) and I'd imagine there are ones available for earlier versions.[/quote] Absolutely! A mobile theme would be great, too. That might do the trick for most people, although I'm still very much behind Tapatalk's extra smartphone-centric functions, such as easily uploading and posting images. So easy to take photos with your phone and upload them straight into a new marketplace post. Regarding links opening in Safari: Firstly, you can have Tapatalk opening links 'in app' but this is for links located on the forum. For links in emails, yes it is irritating, but it's not an issue that's confined to Tapatalk (and one that would be greatly eased with the mobile theme!). The brilliant eBay app, for e.g., also doesn't launch from regular hyperlinks (although there are special links you can use) - it's an Apple issue. Having said that, if you set up push notifications in place of instant emails there is the potential for reducing this problem further. [quote name='charic' post='1105884' date='Jan 28 2011, 09:06 AM']The whole site works great on my HTC desire. My advice... ditch the iphone Also that talkbass app is an absolute pain to use in my experience.[/quote] I know you were just being glib, but £1.79 is a lot cheaper than a new phone Sorry I don't have any experience of the Android version, although plenty of people at TalkBass are loving it btw, but personally I have found the TalkBass app a dream to use compared to Safari, and I'm very handy with Safari. Horses for courses I suppose, but as a case in point I don't know many people who prefer to use the full Facebook site over the app, or at least the mobile version. Thoughts? P.S. Sorry (again!) for the long post. But I'd really like to give this a fair trial

[quote name='Hamster' post='1104693' date='Jan 27 2011, 07:12 AM']Back to normal [/quote] Well done Hamster! Now our titles will make sense Off to do some editing... I'll update this title while I'm at it.

[quote name='malbass' post='1103853' date='Jan 26 2011, 03:29 PM']I have a defretted Squier Jazz neck that I've been looking around for a Precision body for - what would you rate the chances of my neck fitting this body without too much work required?[/quote] If it doesn't fit let me know, I'm looking for a fretless neck for my old Tokai Hard Thumber (Precision-alike)

Hmmm.... Hopefully this one wouldn't have any fret wire at all, but thanks for the heads up! Perhaps it's not up there with the Sue Ryders of this world after all

Auction has ended all of a sudden, no bids. Curiouser & curiouser...

By the way, if anyone would like a fretless at a similar price, have a look at [topic="120318"]THIS[/topic]. [attachment=70102:1.JPG]

Just came across [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130476847605"]this[/url]. If anyone was wishing Sue Ryder did a fretless, this is probably about as close as you'll get. AND they also come with a bag and strap! And [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/nowthenourkidshop/bass-guitars-/_i.html?_fsub=16"]here's their shop[/url], with LOADS of basses all about £50 + P&P. Ridiculous! [attachment=70098:1.JPG] [attachment=70099:2.JPG] [attachment=70100:3.JPG] [attachment=70101:4.JPG]

By the way, I hope everyone 'gets' the tongue-in-cheek sentiment in the OP

[quote name='Toasted' post='1103976' date='Jan 26 2011, 04:34 PM']Initially I thought this was just another newbie sticking their neck out with something to complain about - however this is really annoying. Can someone sort it out?[/quote] Just some newbie?? How [i]very[/i] dare you?! Do you know whose reflection I think I once might've glimpsed as they hastily left my vicinity?!

Just managed to stop myself from completing the transaction... phew!! I just thought to myself, "Why?!!" I'm pretty sure I only wanted to buy one because it's such a good deal, and maybe because it would be another thing to nerd about with. I don't need it. Nah, I'm gonna buy an AERO1 instead! Doh!

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='1103319' date='Jan 26 2011, 10:56 AM']I'd say this is worth about £350. I made an offer of considerably less, which was turned down within seconds. If anyone is thinking of buying it, hopefully my lowball offer may have prodded the seller a few millimetres towards reality. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260727468767"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=260727468767[/url][/quote] It is a lovely bit of bookmatching on the top, and it looks like it's matched on the headstock as well (!) so lovely craftsmanship, but yes I agree about the value. Especially having just seen December's issue eBay Bargains Monthly (thanks John!). I also just had my lowball offer declined in a matter of approx. 90 seconds. Ho hum.
