    It depends what you are buying. Take a particular product x for example... I might be the only seller on the internet. If you want one of product x, you will either have to pay my price or buy product y. It's absolutely no skin off my nose if you choose product y because there will be someone along 5 mins later who'll pay the asking price. FOMO is a very real emotion/motivation for a lot of internet shoppers

    You'd be surprised. (Us) Sellers won't simply 'absorb' the additional fees, we will work them into the deal. Buyers will end up paying the additional. Especially on a lot of our stock (for which it is a sellers market). Buyers will still buy, and sellers will still sell, in a market place such as eBay - price is a secondary (or tertiary) consideration for most. Have you not seen the prices that basses and guitars sell for on the bay. Stupid prices... and there is a queue of buyers round the block for them

    It was a Shoreline? Gold 1960's Fender Jazz that I was considering.... was that the one

    Yep. I had a couple of chats with Andy about it. It took him a few weeks to shift it, I guess it was a lot of cash back then for a bass. Kick myself at least once a week for not grabbing it at the time & getting the OG to show me how to play Rhythm Stick properly

    Not a BC ad, but Norman Watt Roy's 1960 Fender Jazz for 6k at Andy Baxter's a few years back. I had the (spare) cash at the time, thought about it too long & it was gone. Think it would have been a cracking investment

    Just in case anyone was wondering, I clicked on the 'Accept All' button and my world didn't collapse. I did find the blog an interesting read @stonevibe - good work and best of luck with it.

    A lot of web-sites (particularly if you are using pre-built stuff like word-press), actually require cookies to function. So if you refuse cookies the site wont be able to function for you. Nowt comes for free these days, you need to pay one way (cash to build your site properly) or the other (take the no cost upfront, but pay with data/ads)!

    Any good?

    Wireless does make a difference, makes the mids more scooped (fine if you like that sort of thing). Personally I'd buy a WIRED one, but not pay more than £92.00

    I don't really rate YouTube videos for getting to know the AkaiMPC. 99.9% of them are all about teaching non-musicians how to make the next trap/rap/drill 'beat' by some 16yo kid who wears his trousers round his knees!!!! The videos from AkaiPro are probably the best on you tube if you want a more 'vanilla' intro. This 'MPC Bible' used to be quite highly rated https://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/268/mpc-bible/ and comes with sounds & plenty of tutorials.

    If it were me, I'd keep it. They are both very different machines, different workflow and different vibes

    Welcome to the MPC club! Hope you'll stay around a bit longer than the previous owner!

    Fender P with flats - thats all you need
  18. sammybee
    Agreed.

    I'm sure there is a correlation between the number of basses sought and lusted after & and contentment levels, with the more content amongst us hovering around owning one or two instruments.

    £1000 item sent with a £2.99 courier - was that so wise ?

    Bought a Rumble 15 combo from Chris. Very smooth transaction, good comms, excellent packaging, and generally super service all round. Don't know how he managed to get the combo to me so fast I wouldn't hesitate to buy again from Chris, deal with confidence. Thanks!

    The last DG windows I had installed, I got them supplied and fitted by a local firm - was a no brainer, they fit windows all day long and didn't charge very much for the labour. Really interested to hear (as I'm sure others are) the final budget figures for the project. This build would make a cracking series of videos for youTube

    Looks much bigger in your photos I will be watching your progress with anticipation as I'd really like to do this too - albeit with one wall of glass so I can have a bit of a view when I work. Are you doing the actual building work yourself?
  24. sammybee
    Did you need/get planning for this? Looks like it will be awesome when finished

    I did a trade in with Classic And Cool a few years ago. It was a very smooth transaction and Mark gave me a very fair price based on photos of my bass (Marcus Miller Jazz) against a very reasonably priced US '75 Jazz RI . I'm not the kind of person who would normally do a trade in - but Mark made the process trouble free
