I absolutely love this, Marcus Miller is a phenomenal fretless player : And then there's this, completely different, and opening the album that made my decision to get a fretless: https://youtu.be/JqYIwJDsinM

I haven't listed anything expensive on there for a while, put three pedals on yesterday and just got that message against the most expensive so that's probably their target.

It looked fishy, but having sold off a lot of baby stuff in Facebook over the last year I was getting lots of messages in very bad written English, the vast majority of which were the genuine buyers who turned up with cash. Having spent most my adult life working with and socialising with people for whom English is not their first language I never want to dismiss outright for bad English. It was the reply email that basically said "I'm not a real person so don't ask to phone me, I don't want any derails just let me pay you and send my courier" that just confirmed the whole ruse.

Noted. My password is pretty strong so hoping that they aren't too mischievous with it.

Life's too short, just reported it to Gmail as spam and reported the message to Gumtree also. Am ignoring it all.

Yes.

I am satisfied with the information provided but if there are specific details you need to add please don't hesitate to do so for clean sale. A courier/pick up agent who will come over at your address for the collection after money has been paid to your account, So they will be available for all necessities needed done about the collection which you have nothing to worry about. Sorry I am not available for voice calls due to my work. That is the reason you got the message from my daughter on Gumtree.

It's def a scam. He has ordered me to take PayPal payment and he will send his own courier. No chance pal.

I got this message on Gumtree within minutes of listing an effects pedal at just over 200 quid. I'm suspicious... Have replied using slang and being a bit obtuse on detail hoping that I get a sensible answer and it turns out to be genuine. Would be interested to see if anyone else has had this?

Now adding photos -
I have 5 and a half basses at the moment. My cheapest and my most expensive are my keepers. Here's the cheap one around 2017, and around 2002 or 3. It was less than 300 quid all in imported from the US as a brand new instrument in 2002 for my 18th birthday. Times were hard in my house so I paid a third of it, my parents each paid a third. I will never, ever part with it. I recently upgraded the loom to a Kiogon special and it turbo charged the shoddy standard electronics, just going to get some rounds on it soon. My 80s band love it. I also gig it on deps and with my function band, just because having had it so long it is just so natural to play.

So, issues.... The P pickup route is a couple of mm too narrow. I'm going to need to very carefully widen that. Any recommendations on how to do that without ruining the aesthetic, keep in mind there will not be a pickguard to hide any slip ups! I'm going to need foam under the pickups. Some people talk of using the foam from the packaging with some makes, mine came with very thin polythene type wrapping which layered upay do a job? The bridge I bought does not line up with the screw holes. Disappointing. Will call the supplier and see if it was my mistake or theirs, or the body. Its not a direct Fender type bridge so perhaps I need to go and find a Wilkinson bridge or similar.
-
Well this is a quandary... The body looks amazing, the picture doesn't do it justice. Kind of not sure if I sure I want to stain it now... Though I do have two other Ash bodies in natural finish (Stingray with gloss, matt Warwick)
-
Will have some time with all the bits tonight but the excitement is building, so to speak! I originally wanted to do a Duff McKagan style with the black headstock but the supplier sent me the wrong neck. I'll still assemble to see how it goes. The good thing about the neck is that it has side dots on each side, so I think they sell more left necks to right handers, probably explains the upside down nut too. I was half tempted to buy a used Fender right handed neck to bolt in but you never know why some people are selling them, whether they're knackered or not. So the plan now is to stain the body with wild cherry wood stain then apply a few coats of seal and work it to a matt finish. Then shielding, install pickups and loom, knobs, bridge. I need to reverse the nut on the neck, drill out the neck fixing screw holes, drill out the back of the headstock for the tuners to screw in, and the front for the string tree. Then I need to string it and set it up. Any advice is very gratefully received.

Guitarandbassbuilds.com very good price too, feels like quality.

Fender Boxer Range re-released 2021 - The Jazz Bass Special !
uk_lefty replied to Dood's topic in Bass Guitars
I've bought all the components to make my own bitsa PJ with black hardware! Significantly cheaper than one of these and left handed. If my bitsa is cr4p though and they do this in lefty I'd be tempted! -
I've had the 500 for quite a few years now, bought 2nd hand on here. It's got everything you could possibly need. My favourite was running 2x Root aster 1x15s off it, but I'm currently running a 1x15 and a 2x10, both Root master of course. Settings wise it depends on the bass. When I had a Sire because the EQ was so incredible I used to disable the amp EQ and use the Sire on board. Now it's a bit of bass and treble boost for most, or a mid boost for fretless. I carry it around in an old laptop bag.

I was the lead bidder on an EHX Soul Pog pedal which I thought would give me this kind of thing (it combines the soul food and POG) . As usual I got excited and bid before doing my research. Phew am I glad I didn't win that pedal. No professional demo makes it sound remotely usable. Will look in to the Fission if I can't raise cash for a Helix Stomp.
-
No pointy headstock... That disappoints me. Its not a Charvel if it doesn't risk snagging your spandex pants with the headstock.

These need to go: Zoom 504ii acoustic guitar multi pedal. It's very good but I have hardly used it, though I like to have it for "just in case". Excellent condition, no manual but this can be downloaded. £20 BC only. Zoom G7.1ut electric guitar multi, boxed with new PSU. Great guitar multi effect, I bought a brand new PSU for it too. Boxed but no manual (again, pdf download available in seconds via Google). Good condition, one on ebay in vgc at £100 so I could take £70 from a BC'er. Might be good for bass guitar with the Bassman amp sim and some guitar effects. **NOW SOLD** Finally, my beloved Boss GT10B. I adore this multi, it even has a trace elliot amp sim!! These were ahead of their time. Mine is in good condition, has a flight case, PSU and a print out of the manual. The effects are easy to edit on the pedal or better with a 3rd party software. There's a lengthy TB thread about these which is a great resource and there's an active Facebook group trading patches. It has a looper, expression pedal that does a good Tom Morello pitch bend but for bass, XLR put, midi compatible, it's own effects loop, every effect imaginable, great amp sums, the synth patches aren't great but making your own is amazingly easy (I've done it successfully so it is idiot proof). Market rate is around £180 for the pedal only, remember this is flight cased, so I'm open to discussion. **SOLD**

Using phone as a multitrack recorder: technical question
uk_lefty replied to mcnach's topic in General Discussion
I've got the smaller Q502 and it's great. Great as in, I want to make multi track recordings with a USB interface and I can have a mic and acoustic guitar or bass in at the same time. It's a bit cheaper, and I'm sure there's more complicated mixers out there but this just works, and I've never even bothered with the manual.- 28 replies

Ta. I'm not going for a relic though 😉

It's one of those things that starts off funny but quickly tunes sad. Best not say any more and move on.
