I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about...

That probably would have increased the value - flatwound players are a weird bunch...

You could have sold those!

Yes! Why ask?

Goddamnit, jinxed it. Can's been kicked down the road another couple of weeks

Returns can take time, but they do eventually get there. If you're worried, give them a prod.

Changed to a new game - Groundhog Day - been "Fast delivery within approx. 4 business days" for about the past 4 days now. TBF, the last email I got about a time change said the ETA was "week 8 2025" and we've just begun week 8, so hopefully it'll be soon...

I don't have any experience with the Spark, but as a former owner of the Mojomojo, I say it's a great OD pedal, very useable on bass despite its billing as a "guitar" pedal. I had it as my main OD for years and only changed because of pedalboard consolidation (got a Joyo Monomyth which combines OD, EQ and DI in one package).

I never said you were, that's why I said "if" and "someone" - it's hypothetical. I'm not accusing you of anything.

I would say that is quite the unusual occurrence, so while I congratulate you on your good fortune, it would tick me off if someone used that example to try and lean on me in a haggle.

I would just like to report that I received a PM this afternoon but got no email.

Eh, just a suggestion. Ruin some poor sod of a brand that you've acquired with your fever dream instruments without derailing the gravy train...

That's why they own the likes of Charvel/Jackson etc.? No?

I would, if the price was right. At the moment, they're going through a bit of a "rose tinted spectacles" period. There's a Modern Player one local to me but they want like £500 for it - get poked - they were like £300 new back in the day.

Purple is the new black...

I liked the Dimension, especially the Modern Player one with the triplebucker. Unfortunately, when Fender was having its short MIC adventure, my head got turned by the Starcaster, and I ended up disliking it very much!

Well, that's your opinion, but I have had a couple of reasons to change them - on an Epiphone Embassy where the play in them was unacceptable (like an eighth of a turn of nothing when changing direction) and a cheapy G4M bass where none of them were great but the D string tuner was particularly weird where it would get tighter and more difficult to turn as the string came up to tension.

Come see me, I play a BB live from time to time

What's the point in it? When I go to a gig, I want to hear the musicians, warts and all. I don't care about wee mistakes, in fact I am reassured by the odd bloop because it means that A) they're human and B) makes me feel better when I'm up there and I make the odd bloop. I would be utterly bored in a setup like this. Hard no from me.

They're going to have a hard time selling that. It just looks knockoff to me. Also, have they ever heard of staging a photo? Sure, I'll come pick this bass up from you, even if I don't get stabbed I will probably contract ebola or something. Bloody hell!

It's getting harder and harder to eff up making a solid bodied instrument. Not quite that cheap, but I picked up a £150 G4M bass last year and was pleasantly surprised by it. Of course it needed work, the tuners were gash and the pickup left a lot to be desired, but the bones, the wood and the basic construction were sound. Oh, and it was far too heavy for those who's first question in a sale or NBD thread is "what's the weight?" If it ever arrives, keep an eye out for a thread related to this - I set myself a challenge - "New, 'giggable' bass for £150" - all new stuff, no second hand stuff. The starting point for the project is an £82 (new) bass...

Hardly gave the pickup change a chance, did he? From a stock Squier pickup to a Quarter Pounder, ooh, that's different! Not. Now if he'd swapped the pickup to a split MFD, or a Lace Aluma P, I think they'd be having a very different conversation...

I think it's pretty galling that such a fancy bass doesn't come with the choice of endpin/tripod. Why is the tripod the standard? That's weird to me also. Honestly, I feel like you're addressing a design (or at least product staging/packaging) flaw. Cheeky barstewards!

I bought a second hand pedalboard PSU from them a couple of years back. All good, no complaints. A perfectly unremarkable transaction, the best kind.
