Sold a Tuner to Graham, he paid up straight away and great comms. all the way through the transaction. Thanks for buying from me!

MIght be an idea to merge the 2 threads on the same Bass from the same OP?

I think there is some confusion here...the seller says it has £400-500 worth of improvements (which may be debatable) but is only selling it for £220, which does not sound unreasonable. However the picture showing the string action may be just a badly angled photo but the E looks a lot lower than the A and D....

By keeping the headstock warm, the bass maintains perfect tuning

 

Either that or you may want to disguise you play Fender

Everytime I've seen him play (on YT) he's been using a 6 string.

Google: It was Duchamp's readymades that prompted him to drape a sock over the headstock of his bass. You could interpret his viral video covers as expressions of Duchamp's principle of “found art.” “The rebelliousness of Dadaism is something I channel a lot in my music,” MonoNeon says.19 Apr 2018

Serious question, what's the sock for?

I had the drummer from the band servicing my boiler earlier. 

 

Likes a chat....

Did he need to replace a leaking O ring?

80% off listing fees so quickly post and then add proper photo at your leisure?

Well, it lasted Sunday to Thursday lunchtime. Congrats!

Not much of a discount on a working second hand one, given repairs won't be cheap. I read they go for around 3k but what do I know....?

BTW the Centaur symbol is not 'nice and crisp', in fact it's non existant!

1. If acoustic drums remembering their cymbals

2. Remembering drum stool ( either kit)

3. If electronic kit not doing the Eastenders theme  on it inbetween numbers for a laugh

Anthrax, right?

I hate those phone tickets, I never have my glasses on to get into the Ticketmaster app, and what are you meant to do if your phone runs run out of battery?

I have never been to Bristol 02 before, was rather bemused by the airport security style scanners, could do without emptying all the shizzle out of my pockets though ...

Sold out gig, wasnt it. Absolutely rammed. I couldn't find my way around or figure out how to get upstairs/downstairs when I first came in, it was so crowded. But as luck would have it, I had a wander in the general flow of direction, got a spot down on the rail AND I caught a pick (yay!)

This handing out the water biz after the show is abit nanny state but I can't knock it. Still went straight to the bar and downed another pint of tap water before I left.

 

The week before I was at Birmingham 02 for Carcass. No scanners but had to empty out all the pockets for a wand wave on the door. The security guy tried to take my hairbrush off me, said I couldn't go in with it. Following a brief discussion, he conceded with a "Don't hit anybody with it, alright?!" and off I swan into the venue. I was wearing a bullet belt but hey, better watch out for my Tangle Teaser there, folks.

I give up ...

 

 

Watch out for raised itchy skin bumps with a black centre...

Isn't that the Japanese model?

MIJ?

As a post script to the gig, one of my 'jokes' when I'm asked where I parked for an inaccessible gig is "Bus Lane"...just got a nice letter from Bristol Parking Enforcement asking me for £35 for driving in a bus lane at 11.08 after the gig. I have no defence other than I am not familiar with the city roads, which I don't think will work!

Still got a nice B/W photo of my car  in leafy Bristol....!

Remind me to ask you set this up near my place if they ever start fracking...

4 Bassists passed away during the set? Remind  me to pass on that gig!

Maybe it's a metaphor?

Err, I'm sure I saw you buying  a new bass on Sunday.....2 in a week?

Turns out I can edit a post up to 4.2 billion years after creation, plus or minus a few days.
The James Webb Telescope is looking back in time to see @ped's first post.

4.2 billion years? That's a lot of Bass Bashes but I expect  Fenders will still look the same then.

I've only put names above where people have identified themselves or you can read the pass. If others want to own up, or prefer to remain unidentified on a public forum, either is fine.

PM me if you want me to update this. (Though I'm not sure for how long after creation  I can edit a post)

Did not have you down as a creationist...!

The consensus is that they post something insane like as above, and then you, Johnny Doe, visit the website and realise they have lots of vintage stuff and blow your pension fund on a 1922 Gibson....
