Has now, yep. That wasn't there when I viewed it - he did a cheeky edit

[quote name='Bassman101' post='1103086' date='Jan 26 2011, 01:33 AM']I dont mind posting, but i would really have to check the details of that out as ive not posted a bass in a huge case like this before, and dimension restrictions might screw me over.[/quote]
Get yourself over to either [url="http://www.parcelmonkey.co.uk/"]www.parcelmonkey.co.uk[/url] or [url="http://www.parcel2go.com/"]www.parcel2go.com[/url]. They make things very easy to do, and it's really inexpensive.

They use DHL, Home Delivery Network, etc. (I usually opt for DHL) and the price includes collection and delivery. 9 times out of 10 it all happens in 24 hrs, regardless of choosing 48 hr or 2-3 day service - they are excellent.
You can send pretty large things and up to 25kg I think. The only thing that can drive the price up is if you need insurance on a valuable item.

Anyway, worth a look. I use it all the time to save money buying things from eBay. Seller says £12, I say I'll arrange my own courier thanks - £4.95

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1103057' date='Jan 26 2011, 12:50 AM']Any chance of gutshots? Totally can't afford it unless you wanna do some severe trading, but totally curious.[/quote]
Thanks for the interest, Mr. Foxen. I'm not keen to take it apart, but I will be adding HQ photos as soon as we get some decent whether around here! The right light makes all the difference

Feel free to PM me with any stuff you might have to trade. You never know!

Cheers, Stuee.

You have to specify a price mate, or admin will remove the post. It doesn't have to be firm, but at least a ballpark figure.

As a tip, I'd advise working hard on borrowing a better camera from somewhere. The better the pics, the easier you will find it to sell your bass. And details of your whereabouts, whether viewing is possible and whether you will courier, etc., would be useful info to add.

Good luck with the sale!

Cheers, Stuee

Would you mind doing us a favour and amending your topic title please? It should say *WITHDRAWN*.

I just wasted about 5 minutes reading through all the info about these bags.

Thanks, Stuee.

I might be up for one of these sets, but you have omitted to list individual prices Cieran.

Any chance?

[quote name='chrismuzz' post='1101830' date='Jan 25 2011, 10:35 AM']I play elites, and they have red ribbon at the ball end, and blue at the tuner end so I'm pretty sure those are the ones you're looking for [/quote]

So there goes our databass then. Not gonna work unless each type of string has something unique about it.

Shame

I can't stop looking at this bass! Boohoo!!

Somebody please buy my HIWATT so I can relieve this gentleman of his bass

Just bought a pair of Chord patch cables from Marc, which arrived quickly and as described, packaged nicely in their original box from Chord.

Nice comms & a pleasure to deal with.

Thanks mate :-)

[quote name='dan670844' post='1101541' date='Jan 24 2011, 10:54 PM']SNIP... I always use it stacked, as the picl it has no provision for being in the trad way horizontal... SNIP[/quote]
.:EDIT:. I'm not sure what you mean by that. They are pictured on the Avatar website horizontally and the logo badges are stuck on that way too...?

Not to jump on the bandwagon or anything, but it does look like it was thrown together out of brand new looky-likey parts and beaten up slightly, approximately err... yesterday! I don't trust it one bit. Grrrrrr...

I can tell you from experience that in-ear-monitoring (without an amp) in a live situation (or any for that matter) SUCKS for bass. There are so many things about it that I dislike anyway (some down to personal preference, some practicality, some vibe-related, + the fear of being deafened), but the main thing that is more specific to bass is that without an amp or decent monitor you can't [b]feel[/b] anything, and we all know you have to feel bass, not just hear it.

One thing you could do, if the engineer is up for it, is augment your in-ears by having a sub unit on stage with you. This won't interfere with any live mic's but it should at least let you feel a little of what you're doing. Worth talking to him about it anyway.

Have a look at this chaps, see what you think: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yZIeDUPTf8&feature=related"]How to plug a screw hole in a guitar neck[/url]

Oh I seeee! I thought you'd actually physically found one. I've been after one of these for a while, but I'm not getting one I haven't touched, especially when you've gotta pay import duty, VAT and everything else.

Interesting though, ta!

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1100849' date='Jan 24 2011, 02:36 PM']I'm interested, but ignorant.

Could someone please post a quick explanation / review so we can all know what SC is, how it works, why it's great, etc.[/quote]

Probably easiest and best to let SoundCloud tell you themselves. Here's a tour:

[url="http://soundcloud.com/tour/"]http://soundcloud.com/tour/[/url]

I like this idea. I think it could be a great enhancement to the forum to be able to add the SoundCloud player to posts, for all sorts of things.

Apart from music, members could use it as an easy way to include audio clips of basses, etc., in the marketplace.

Admins, [url="http://blog.soundcloud.com/2009/07/28/soundcloud-player-in-forums-5-step-guide-for-soundcloud-bb-code/"]HERE[/url]'s a link that should help. Full instructions on how to add the button and the functionality.

[quote name='Stroopy121' post='1100751' date='Jan 24 2011, 01:26 PM']SNIP... Found this guy and loved it, if it were a 4-string (and I wasn't so earth shatteringly broke) I'd buy the hell out of it!

Hagstrom F-800...SNIP[/quote]

So where, pray, did you find this old Hag?

I think it's pretty standard for all concerned to expect 2 x 45 minute sets, with a little leeway to accommodate the atmosphere on the night. But 2 x 1hr would usually be a maximum.
Considering the punters can sometimes start off relatively indifferent, but by the end won't let you stop, it's fair to adjust set times with that in mind. As you guys do, a shorter first set and longer second, holding 2 - 3 songs in reserve for encores.

This all depends on the money, the relationship you have with the venue, the punters, the vibe and how much you're enjoying the night (and sometimes how many songs the band can actually do!). I've been in bands where we just keep going until the landlord stops it, because everyone's having so much fun.

Cheers, Stuee.

[quote name='simon1964' post='1100737' date='Jan 24 2011, 01:14 PM']I don't have a problem at all with people joining to buy stuff. But there does seem to be a trend for people to join, post often quite expensive stuff for sale, taking advantage of free advertising and avoiding the fees they would face on ebay etc. SNIP[/quote]

I'm not taking any sides here, I haven't read the whole thread, but if I can play devil's advocate for a moment...

People coming here to sell great gear is also a boon to the players, enthusiasts and collectors who populate this forum, as the whole atmosphere of BassChat encourages much better communication between parties, and almost certainly better prices than eBay as a result.

I must admit I signed up because I wanted to use the marketplace, but within a very short time I have got caught up with the whole great vibe of the community and will remain for as long as it survives. And with any inclusive community, whatever brings in new members and helps it thrive, is good... right?

Like I said, though, this isn't my hard & fast opinion. This discussion is far more nuanced than that I know. But it's a side of it to bear in mind.

Cheers, Stuee.

Shame you're not into trades. I would consider a straight swap for my [topic="119911"]HIWATT Custom 400[/topic].

Oh well, GAS in full effect. Time to open a window...

[quote name='Stuee' post='1099784' date='Jan 23 2011, 04:21 PM']SNIP ...this will most likely be the busiest thread in the world unless someone deletes it, quick![/quote]

Told you!

Hi Geoff,

[url="http://blog.soundcloud.com/2009/07/28/soundcloud-player-in-forums-5-step-guide-for-soundcloud-bb-code/"]Here's a link[/url] that should help. You'll have to contact the admins to get them to enable this, but it looks pretty easy and could be a great enhancement for all of us if they do it. Hopefully it's compatible with the IP Board forum software!

Basically it puts a SoundCloud button in the forum posting jobby so anyone can add the player to their posts. This would be great for including audio clips of basses, etc., in the marketplace IMO.

Maybe start a topic in the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=34"]Site Issues[/url] forum. I'll certainly support the idea

Cheers, Stuee.

[quote name='lettsguitars' post='1100621' date='Jan 24 2011, 12:01 PM']SNIP... electrics can get confusing though.[/quote]

Indeed! I recently totally stripped and rebuilt an '81 Tokai Hard Thumper with all upgraded 'vintage' parts, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. The feeling of accomplishment when it's all back together, looking amazing and sounding great is well worth the effort (as is the saving on labour costs), but the wiring was really hard. The circuits just don't make sense to my feeble mind, so it was very much copying the old harness wire for wire, solder point for solder point. And it was only a basic Precision setup - probably the simplest guitar electrics there are!

Next time I will pay somebody who knows what they're doing!

To be clear, I'm not trying to get all the members to use Tapatalk - whoever wants to will try it at their leisure - what I am trying to do is get the admin to enable it for those of us who do want to use it.

So I'm not going to try selling the app any more. But if any admins are listening, I'd appreciate some feedback

Cheers, Stuee.
