BC price £625

I am about to move house and have had to make some tough decisions on my music gear to raise funds. None tougher than this. I love this bass, I don't think they will ever make them for lefties again. It took me months to source the proper hard case and that wasn't cheap. 

Here it is, up for sale. My lefty Epiphone Jack Casady. With Maruszczyk flats. It sounds incredible, I've only giggled it a few times unfortunately, but the condition is superb. Feel free to make a sensible offer. I also have a leather/ suede strap for it too, also listed for sale. 

I really, really don't want to sell it. But apparently things like a fridge and a washing machine are more important?

Collection preferred. Courier at cost is possible.

Very nice soft, brown, leather/ suede Epiphone guitar/ bass strap. Will add photos soon. Cost me £50 new last year. Hardly used at all, ready for a new home. 

Clear perspex, circuit board showing... Find some way to get an LED in there to light it up. A guitarist I played with for a while had this on his strat, looked quite cool.

£125 posted or £120 collected.

Price updated in line with recent second hand sales.

Boxed with all the bits. 

Great quality wireless system with pedalboard mountable charging/ dock station. Absolutely excellent bit of kit. I've used it for about a year and a half now. It's been well looked after, always in a protective pedalboard case. Only reason for selling is because I'm going back to multi FX so I'll be replacing this with the slightly less brilliant WL-20.

There's a music rental place in North London clearing out good, old school heavy cabs on eBay very cheap. Fender 6x10, Genz Benz 4x10s... I've been so tempted but just cannot justify it.

Price drop

Might sound a bit daft but it could be the angle you're holding the bass at.... Try standing up with it hanging on a strap in a natural playing position. If you're tilting the bass various ways while you play to see where the buzz is coming from it can come and go. What's important is whether it buzzes when in a natural playing position. If it's new, and I know Jet has a good reputation but they are more towards the budget end, it possibly hasn't had the best set up out of the factory so it may need a proper set up. You can either do this yourself (watch loads of YouTube videos, Google, use this forum) or if you're not confident it find a local BC'er who may be kind enough to help

Well, you've all persuaded me. Will be ordering tomorrow. 

Has anyone got any kind of hard case for theirs?

I believe the salary is good.  

Would have to be to spend so much time with Lars.

£70 posted or £65 collected.

Boxed and ready to go. Very good condition.

Bought off BC earlier this year. It gets used for the middle 8 of one song. Except last gig where I forgot to use it, d'oh!

House move coming up, non essential gear being sold off, sadly. 

£80 incl. Postage or £75 collected.

The classic used on the Flea VHS. Great pedal but not used in my band, sadly. Excellent condition and full working order. House move is forcing me to sell quite a bit off stuff including non essential pedals.

£100 incl. Postage. Knock off a fiver if you are collecting.

I don't think I have the box for this one. 

Excellent pedal, makes the classic Octave sound, including the glorious glitch. 

House move coming so lots of pedals are going to be up for sale in the next month or so 😢

Perfect working order. 

I've over estimated the price. Now £550.

Reluctantly putting this beauty up for sale. Bought new in May 2022 with the matching fitted hard case (also Epiphone branded). This is a gorgeous, gorgeous guitar with P90 pickups. However, it's been out of the case to be played just a handful of times in the last two years. I'm a bassist who dabbles a little with guitar so it's mostly lived in it's case unused. I'm about to move house and need to raise some funds so have to reluctantly move it on. It has had a recent set up and fresh new strings. Showroom condition, no dings, scrapes or knocks. Ask for more photos and you shall receive.

I wish they did a 5 string in the HB fretless 

I also have a Jack Cassidy I never play it but it's got a great tone with flats 

Agreed! I tried tapewounds first expecting them to sound great, it came with rounds but I didn't like that...Maruszczyk flats and it's heaven. I've even slapped it a little with those on!

The fretless HB and fender Jazz look very nice 👍

And it's out on the sofa right now... I'm moving house soon and starting to get scared of all the stuff I need to buy. Might be making some tough decisions on scaling back music gear. The HB was so cheap new it's probably not even worth selling. But the JC might go, and a lot of effects, and my electric guitar... Keeping the dog though.

Been mainly playing 5-string for a few years but I’ve been enjoying my old fretless lately. 
 

That is gorgeous

Bandmix attracts a lot of imbeciles who tick every box

And bassists who do backing vocals who tick "bass vocals" and have an Irish traditional vocal harmony group hounding them for weeks before the penny drops. Oh, I mean, a guy I know once did that. Not me. Honest.

Epiphone shorties come in attractive colours and sound very good. Not sure if they're 30 or 32 but they're definitely shorter than the usual.

Flux capacitor?

How the heck did you gig with a Mellotron ?  They are huge, heavy, temperamental things ...............

You mean a drummer? 

🤪

First band split when I went away to Uni. Sadly, we didn't socialise together so I just assumed they knew I was going away. At my last gig the singer/ guitarist brought along his mate who was a much better singer to take the band forward. That was when I broke the news. We did a reunion gig in the Xmas break and stayed loosely in contact for a while. 

One band broke before it got going due to too many control freaks saying one thing and doing another. I mean seriously, if you're a female fronted funk and soul band why am I in the wrong for complaining about doing FOUR Stereophonics songs???

Last decent band broke up shortly after COVID. I was annoyed we did nothing with all that downtime and really wanted to freshen up the very well trodden set list. There were tensions and frustrations but I guess the time away just heightened it all too much. The drummer used to be really awkward with anyone who enquired about gigs if he didn't know them, complained about a gig forty mins drive from his home but on the other hand would insist we gig for nothing hours and hours from home because his mate had asked. As if this wasn't bad enough he announced a gig on a date he knew I couldn't do. He also assumed we could do that gig at the singer's pub without clearing it with him first. With me being the one they'd replaced with a dep after one of my kids was born it just felt like I was disposable, they would do this gig without me and get their dep in. They did the "gig" with no rehearsal and it was an utter embarrassment and disaster. They have tried to keep going, I don't know if they've actually gigged anywhere... I was offered a stupid amount of money to go back and do one gig but said No because I was gigging with my new band the next night. Two of the guys have come to see my band a few times and we meet occasionally for a drink. I never hear from the drummer at all, despite our differences of opinion in the band he was one that I got on best with. If we hadn't been in that band together but knew each other another way we'd probably still be strong friends.

I wouldn't feel right without a stack behind me. Having gear on stage is part of the show / image. I can see the obvious benefits of going 'In ears', but is it rock 'n' roll?

I know what you mean. The guitarist having a few small briefcase sized flight cases behind him and a Coop bag for life isn't the image, but once the smoke and lights get going I'm not sure it's so relevant. On Fridays gig I was getting good sound from my on stage rig, muddy sound from my wedge, went on a walkabout and heard the bass sounding perfect through the FOH. It's that conflict between the different sound sources that is starting to p me off, standing in the sweet spot to get the right balance isn't always an option.
