@theplumber you should change the thread title, since this is clearly nothing to do with a scam on basschat and it makes precisely no difference to whether it is safe to use the marketplace here or not.

There's a review of the predecessor, the CUBE-100 bass linked above. I'd say it's a huge improvement on what you have now, the only reservation is that it's probably more than you need. They seem to go through the Bay occasionally for around the £120 mark second-hand so I wouldn't want to pay much more than that. In my experience Roland gear is high-quality and good value for what it costs. I have an amp (not this one), a piano and an accordion and all have given years of service.

Had a look in my bits box but I don't have a spare one of these. You could try asking in the DIY Effects thread if anybody has one they could send you - 5 quid postage for an 8p capacitor seems a bit off.

Thanks @NOODS for your kind words, it was a real pleasure to meet you today. You're always welcome here, just don't do anything hasty with that credit card!

This is what Max from SFX recommended when I asked him where to put mine.

Not sure if they have a workshop. Guitar Lodge in Felixstowe are great and reasonably priced. So is Paul Glazebrook but I am not sure if he still taking on work. I'm in Ipswich - happy to get together for a chat over coffee, after this week. PM me.

They seem to have gone up a bit since the last time I looked. I was thinking you'd get a used Peavey Feedback Ferret for £50. You could also try chasing the feedback frequency (ies) with a multi-band graphic, or put a noise-gate on the drummer's mike.

You could try a feedback destroyer on the drummer's monitor.

We could ask @Bart Funk Bass , he was on the site earlier this week.

My 465 seems OK, maybe the ebony board adds a bit of density or stiffness? I don't know.

A used SGC Nanyo Bass Collection would fit the bill and would be a cost-effective option. There's one in the classifieds here:

There were a few about, but Paul was obviously waiting for Yamaha to perfect the concept with the BB1200.

@Happy Jack just think of all those Beatle choons you could have learned!

Just make sure you don't have the receipt for it in your luggage. And steer clear of brazilian rosewood fingerboards.

Thanks Paddy, I'll let you know. I was hoping to find someone full time though.

If you want to sound like an upright - get an upright.

Yes. It's a relatively small number of forums. I prefer not to have default home screen that shows loads of popular threads in forums I don't read, unless as BRX says there's an option to revert to the traditional view.

Or use google instead of the built-in search engine: Fender Jazz site:https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/16-bass-guitars/ typed into the search box will do it.

No white X on my browser interface either. And a second banner, about the FAQ, which seems tied to this section.

Finally, a reason to own one!

You got me there. I can afford to move house, but performance video ? Not a hope. I guess I could send you performance video of someone else, you'ld never find out until I showed up for the audition 🙂

There was a discussion about this in the Glastonbury thread. Unsurprisingly I can't remember what the conclusion was, if there was one.
