      It's not an XM2, but it's a Steinberger, and it's similar...

  6. So, the ever present question: Do I sell all these bits of kit that I don't actually use anymore, or keep them on the off chance that a band (job) might require them in the future. I could do with the cash frankly, but the value of the kit could mean that if I buy again in the future, I could end up paying more in the long run. Hmmmmmm

      Yes. As long as you sell them to me at a knock-down price... 🙂

      I'm having a proper per-Xmas clear out and preparing to sell several 5's, so keep and eye out in the 'basses for sale' section in the next few days...

  9. Alan Gorrie is borrowing my Overwater for the Average White Band gig in Cardiff tonight, as his bass was nicked last night! Glad I could help out though!

  11. Selling gear is cleansing.
    Buying stuff gives me a bit of a kick, but I sometimes get to a point where I wonder why I got that particular thing. Just shifting an electro acoustic (no idea why I got that at all), a small guitar amp (same) and a random bass I don't use or need. Out with the old, less is more, quality up, volume down... and all that.
    Let's see how long this lasts then :)

      She's a cruel mistress. I've only just sold some stuff, and was about to spend everything I got for it on another random frippery, but someone else beat me to it. Just as well really.

  12. Hello! We're a two piece, lead bass, female fronted rock band from Las Vegas NV. We are here to share a little of what we do and learn more about how we can use the bass as a lead instrument :)  We use a dual amp set up. Lot's to share! Thanks for having us!

  16. I've been out of work with stress for a couple of years.

    Had a job interview earlier today - just had a message to say they were very impressed and asked if I can start next Monday.

    Now what can I spend that money on???

  17. Is it possible to tape some soundfiles with you’re cell phone to give me the idea of the sound of the bass. I have a S2 custom on order yet by Rob that will arrive within a few weeks, but searching a jazz bass type also....maybe i’m interested if i like it, and we can come to an agreement.

  18. Wondering whether I should be annoyed that a bass I agreed to buy at the asking price and collect at the sellers earliest availability has been 'sold' to someone else without the buyer telling me......

  19. I'm used to playing my ER Basses with all sorts of effects and goodies and they sound ace. This afternoon however I have been playing my (new) old Precision bass with nothing but me and amp. It sounds insanely good. I even tried out some of the effects that I am used to using live... nope, P bass just sounds amazing without. Really good. It reminds me of a sound I had in my head when I was younger (my first REAL P bass when I was 18). Happiness.

      Ah, simplicity is a wonderful thing! Like you, lately I've had a hankering for a 4-string Stingray, which was all I played for years back in the 80's. Unfortunately I've been playing 5's for nearly three decades now, and all the 4's I've picked up over that period (for mainly nostalgic reasons - although I've never had another a Stingray 4, oddly enough) I've moved on again fairly quickly because I missed the low B, or 'the thumb rest' as I call it, too much. It's all in my head, I'm sure of it...

      I have a beard, and I had a Barefaced cab, but I sent it back. Inevitable really.

    I think we all know who had a better evening! 😂

      My favourite Douglas Adams quote:

      “There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
      There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

  24. When a Reverb seller, listed as a quick responder, hasn't answered my question in a week, should I assume they're on holiday, or otherwise absent?

      Create a profile in their name on a BDSM website, and state that they "accept personal callers". That should get their attention.

  25. Does anyone have any experience receiving international bank transfers? A payment was sent to me from Portugal on Friday but hasn't landed in my account yet. Any idea how long it should take?

      +1 for Transferwise. Quick, easy, inexpensive.
