  1. I was after one of these a while ago, but I can't remember which bass I wanted to try it in. If I ever remember and it's still here, I'll be in touch.

  3. Cȯcks 'n' Asśes — Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  4. I'm Gonna Stay Right Here — Solomon Burke

  6. What cables are you using from the bass to the B6 and the B6 to the amp? Are they all standard mono cables?
  7. The whole section for Tax Policies is blank on my account as it doesn't apply.
  8. You're not charging VAT on the items you sell as you are a private seller and not VAT registered, so the tax rate should be zero, not 20%
  9. What has changed is that you now need to pay VAT on the fees reverb charge you when you sell something. I've unloaded a ton of my old gear on Reverb and noticed the fees got a bit higher when this new rule came in. I have never needed to supply a VAT number to reverb as I am also a private seller who isn't registered for VAT. I fear there's been a bit of a misunderstanding Brian, and you have been given misleading information from the support person where the canned answers they gave you didn't apply to your specific situation and were parrotted directly from their screen without being filtered through their grey matter. All you need to say is "I'm a private seller and I'm not VAT registered so I will have to pay the VAT on the reverb processing and selling fees" Here's an example of something I sold recently — A nice set of Gotoh banjo tuners that I had on my tenor guitar before I sold it. The tuners sold for £60, plus £5 postage The Processing fee plus the selling fee comes to £5.81 (£2.56 + £3.25) The VAT is 20% of £5.81, which is £1.16 The payout is £65 - £2.56 - £3.25 - £1.16 (Selling price plus shipping charge minus processing fee, minus selling fee minus VAT on fees) which is how they arrived at the £58.03 which was deposited into my bank account.

  11. I'm looking at cheap Chinese-made bass necks on ebay, and I came across this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335206261651. It is listed as being roasted. My understanding is that when a neck is described as roasted, the timber is roasted before it is cut, so in order for the dark colour to be apparent after the neck is shaped, the wood will be dark all the way through the cross-section. However on the pic below, it looks like there is a scratch on the upper edge of the headstock between the holes for the A & D tuners, and the scratch appears to be a lighter colour. Am I misreading the photo, or does this indicate that this neck isn't actually roasted but instead has either been stained to give that appearance or perhaps lightly grilled?
