Good points above. EBay certainly, unfortunately, is a wider audience. Maybe people get excited and caught up in bidding as well??

Farida... Anybody else is just trying to justify their expensive purchase......

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1376515093' post='2175440'] I don't think they are selling particularly well on ebay at the moment, guitars certainly aren't. I don't think much is selling as well as it was a few years ago. [/quote] I've had more luck in selling, at higher prices to boot, on eBay recently.

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1376514870' post='2175431'] You can Pay on credit card here if you do it by Paypal, most people are happy to accept Paypal if you do it as a gift payment or cover the fees. [/quote] Really?? Does that count as a purchase or a cash advance for credit card interest purchases? I will not pay a penny in interest to credit card companies..

I love my SGC Nanyo Bass Collections. Who has the best, poshest, rarest example on here? Im thinking one of the nice natuaral wood, gold hardwear examples? I think there is a rare SB8xx series. Also the Bass Collection Jazz bass copy.

.....you can pay by credit card? Obviously as transactions on here are (mainly) private sales credit card transactions are not really possible. Must admit I dislike credit cards, but they are a necessary evil in the modern world and they do allow you to pull forward a month on your personal cashflow.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1376085739' post='2169703'] That whole assertion about there being no stupid questions has just failed QA. [/quote] Agreed - reading that back it does seem more than a little stupid.

Still no nearer to identifying a case are we mart? I emailed Hiscox last Sunday but no reply...

Thanks all, If I was to pick one up it would be second hand

[quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1375999768' post='2168566'] Depends how particular you are to get a very specific sound. Some folk get really anal about it. 2eq (some say original and best) has controls for Treble and Bass. 3eq has mid as well. I would not let that influence my choice. If you particularly want the original Stingray tone - then H is the way to go. Multi pickup Stingrays have the bridge pickup relocated slightly closer to the bridge which messes with the tone. Neck wise, Stingrays are closer to a P. but you can get a SLO Special which has a neck that is narrower like a J. A MM Sterling is a smaller bodied bass with different electronics. I love them. Very playable and I reckon you can get close to a SR tone. Sterling by Musicman is a cheaper series of Stingrays etc. Well thought of too. Subs are well thought of as well - prob a good starting point if cash is an issue. My recommendation is to go to a shop and try them. MM Bongo will also do the SR sound. My favourite basses. Awesome piece of kit. There are a lot more knowledgable folk than me on the forum who will comment on the serial parallel nuances etc. CB [/quote] Thanks for the comprehensive reply. If I can shift something I may be able to look at picking one up. Our experienced guitarist thinks it it the kind of sound we need in our mix....... If anyone could point me in the direction of a good 'un via PM I'd appreciate it.

Anybody else any recommendations????
