I can hand on heart honestly say that had this not been in the shop I would have walked out with the cash. That semi acoustic in teal definitely didn't appeal. Honest. Well, not very much.

Yeah I know. Its just hopeless isn't it?

When clearing my old heavy gear to make space after a drastic and unplanned downsizing I realised no Basschatter would want what I was ditching. Too old too heavy and I needed room immediately. So down to our local 2nd hand shop it went. Someone else storing it for me, no delivery or postage hassle, seemed to make sense. Not much use for a quick sale as stuff has to sit there awaiting the ideal buyer to wander in but out of my way. Popped today amazed to find a couple of cabs had gone. One I can't for the life of me even remember owning! So of course I pocketed the cash minus the guy's commission and invested it wisely. Did I bo||ock$. I turned my cow into magic beans there and then.....

Hi @brensabre79 it's actually a different one but I suspect wiring in the other one too!

You've made a beautiful job of that @Johannes Bass love the kick back hinge!

Don't see the two as mutually exclusive

I've discovered the joy of the trade. Bringing home all sorts of things I had no idea I wanted.

Come on then, be honest with yourself, what do you start looking at when the objects of your desire have become an obscene, bloated collection for which you barely have storage space never mind the time to use? I find the insidious addictive worm in my brain tells me to look at effects. I invariably buy them, toy with them in a desultory, distracted way, use them for a couple of gigs, decide they just add more time to set up and pack down and don't improve my playing at all and into the cupboard they go. But I have to gas for something , right? Also caught myself contemplating a fretless. Don't need one. Used to use one before deciding it wasn't for me. But ... I don't have one. What about you?

Bang on the asking price!

Thanks @Dazed that's exactly what I needed to know.

I know nothing of these instruments. Anyone tell me what one like this is worth in vgc second hand? One being offered locally either at the right price or a bit of a bargain but I don't know and the only new ones I can find differ from this particular model. Warwick Rockbass fretless 4 I believe

Not yet. All blurry phone crapola from a gig but soon I promise

Got my first Fender last year but I traded it on Saturday. For a Fender.

Back in the day it was Aria or Westone. We never actually came to blows over it and didn't realise the name which really mattered was Matsumoku on the neck plate. I have a couple of Thunders, sale pending on one and the other needs a little work to realise its worth. Of course if you're lucky to find one given away....

I know my obsession with all bass gear is just that - an irrational obsession. But it's fun reading the pointy heads and those who wish they knew as much arguing the toss though!

Nailed it.

I've had a gig cancelled. I'm regularly in Swindon and always up for a challenge. Pm me

Well I met James and relieved him of some bass gear and I can happily commend him to you all. He's a genuine guy, a real pleasure to deal with, excellent communication and scrupulously honest. Great to meet you mate, hope you enjoy the shift to amp free gigging.
