bump

Any chance of a trade? A black Badass bridge & black tuners of a similar style and quality to these chrome versions that I've got?

I'm not selling them, just looking for trades... as a long-shot

Bump

Just incase ...

I'm after a Jazz bass body, natural finish, nice wood. I'd be willing to swap the effects for the right one.

... if by any miracle such a thing is floating around the ether.

Have a Bump for a beautiful thumb bass

don't you like the thumb bass? (I bought one from you a couple of years ago)

Woolf is a good guy to deal with, btw. He wen't well out of his way to help me out.

Good luck.

Great bass for a bargain price

Great bass, period!

I can't think why anyone would part with a thumb bass after knowing such joy, I'd never part with mine.

Good luck

Guitar Guitar in Corstorphine, Edinburgh has these. They look really good until viewed up close. The instrument was poorly finished and unbalanced, had the cheapo feeling, that was enough, I never found out what it sounded like.

Find out if there are any suppliers in your area and check one out for yourself before buying, definately..

[b]Price dropped to £150[/b]

[b]Boss GT6B[/b]. Excellent condition/ perfect working order.

Bought from a fellow basschater a few months back but I'm just not using it.

Costs around £20 to send by courier, or it can be picked up here in Edinburgh.

Cheers

Ed

Taking the **ss??!!!

No, I certainly wasn't, Jean-Luc. I'm merely suggesting an option.

It may be time consuming but it's not like modifying the saddles is going to bring on the ten plagues of Egypt, or is it? Perhaps filing deeper grooves into the saddles with a small round file would be better ... but hey, don't listen to me, I'm not a luthier

If I'm wrong offer me reason as opposed to arrogance please. I'm also here to learn.

I know it's a cheapo but it looks alright for £89, new.

Unscrew the saddles, clamp them in a vice and file the undersides of them down, one at a time.

piece of **ss

Aldi!? how much did you pay for it? is it any good?

Thanks mucho folks

Yeah, I know. I was just wondering if it had any "collectable" value.

Some of these oddities do the trick for some folk

What have you been eating!!!

I know the guy who's got it. He's intends to sell it.

Don't know whether or not to buy it

It's a 3/4 size, I think

Does anyone know???

De-freting shouldn't significantly alter the value of a bass like that, so long as it's done properly.

Although it's worth bearing in mind that fretlesses are harder to sell, should you not take to it.

Try a few in the shops first, then decide.

pm'ed

If it wasn't for the weight I would definately go for a Thumb bass, it literally hugs your body.

Seeing as we're practicing for ten hours though I would choose a Fender p-bass lyte.

does what it says on the tin

pictures?

What kind of wood is the body made of?
