  2. Hadn't considered that one!
  3. Just a thought... Recently there seems to be more Vintage Fender basses for sale for sale than usual, priced very highly as always. I wonder if this is because a lot of owners are trying to cash in on their assests during uncertain times or has the bubble burst and there's more available because they're not selling so easily. Overpriced now? Not enough money going around? Will we see a drop in prices? What do you think?

  9. After a long time gigging Jazz basses I'm P bass all the way now, although I still have a soft spot for a nice chunky necked 70s Jazz.

  12. You bet. See the way I'm diverting everyone to Aldi while I'll be looting Waitrose 😉 DOH!! 🤦
  13. In 1995 a bloke at a jam night offered me his Wal for 500 quid because he wanted to buy a motorbike. Being the stupid Indie kid I was at the time, I turned him down because I didn't like the look of them back then 🤦

  19. Here we have, for one lucky Basschatter, the ideal bass to future-proof yourself against creative stagnation during the impending collapse of society and civilisation as we know it. A beautiful and in great condition Epiphone El Capitan acoustic bass, strung with Ernie Ball Earthwood strings. No power available? No problem! This bass is LOUD when played acoustically (body depth is 5 1/4"). Loud enough to wake up my friend's young son upstairs while having a lounge jam anyway. Perfectly capable to keep up with a guitar and singing. It's not only loud but still sounds great when played hard and loud. It sounds wonderful when played quietly too, like when you're hiding out from the inevitable patrolling mobs. The preamp is great and works as it should with a cool phase control to eliminate feedback (not that you'll be able to use it). This bass comes in a very nice Tribal Planet rigid gigbag (semi hardcase?) with ample padding and protection. Fits snug as a bug. The case is in great condition too with all zippers working like new. The pocket compartments are deep and spacious which will come in very handy. In fact this case will double up as body armour, protecting your back, neck and head as you high-tail it away from a successful looting run at ALDI, pocket compartments laden with the last of the Fray Bentos pies, as those that were too slow try and pelt you with tins of out of date custard. Hey, you snooze you lose! There's some lovely flame to the neck and the 'burst of the finish is really beautiful yet hasn't really come out well on these photos unfortunately. Today was a dark day (just like those to come! 😉). So, I hear you barking big dog, why am I selling this bass now instead of future-proofing myself? Well, I already have an upright-riot shield-escape raft-bass to be getting along with, and I need to buy guns. Any questions, just "fire" away! Godspeed.
  20. Awesome 👌 Hey choices are a good thing! I also have 2 Harley Bentons on my wall - a shorty P that's my son's, and an all black fretless 5er (something something 550?) that I don't really play, but I might eventually... It's a deko from way back that cost me £48 quid delivered. It's awesome and luckily has no value so I've kept it. My only other electric bass is a great American P bass which I will have for life. You don't have to be rich to be wealthy 😉
  21. I totally agree. A war scarred players bass is usually (in my experience) a good or great example that has been a keeper for that very reason.* The reason I came back to this thread is to discuss Value v Wealth. These are two different things. Value = the monetary worth of an item in the marketplace. Wealth = what that item brings to your life. Buying a bass, like an American Fender (the American Fender that feels right for you I should add), does feel like a big sum to stump up initially. However, life being what it is, that monetary amount isn't so much that you wouldn't see it frittered away or absorbed into everyday life before you knew it. That's how far it's monetary value will travel. The Wealth attached to that bass, on the other hand, is how it improves your life, by inspiring you to play the thing everything time you look at it. Good for the head, good for the soul, everyday, for life. That's true wealth right there. In terms of value, a total bargain. *or they've lived life completely unaware of Basschat 😄
