  1. Great cabs. Immensely powerful for their diminutive size. Mike’s a great fella to deal with too GLWTS
  2. I don’t use PayPal anymore. I got stuffed too. Item delivered. Proof of delivery. Signature. Buyer said they hadn’t received it. PayPal took their side and refunded their money. When I pointed out that I had proof of delivery and a signature from the address, I was told that, I could not prove that the person who signed for and took the parcel at that address was the person who bought it. I couldn’t even claim on the insurance as the item was deemed delivered. I stopped Selling on Ebay and using PayPal after that. Nobody needs to pay for anything if that’s how they are running things.
  3. Look near the top for the Staff heading press on that and contact a staff member there about it.
  4. I think you need to ask a moderator to move this ad to the accessories and other category. I don’t think everyone on this forum has access to the sell anything category.
  5. Itch Scratched. Only for sale until an itch of mine has mine has been scratched. This is not a Fender bass Bitsa Precision built from quality parts. Lovely instrument. I will try and get an accurate weight but I’d guess a little over 9lb. Bass built by BC’er Shaggy. Parts consist of - Solid alder body Olympic white finish, aged to pale cream Vintage-spec genuine celluloid tort pickguard One piece highly flamed maple neck with skunk stripe Sllim Jazz bass profile; amber tint poly finish with '70's Fender logo. Truss rod adjust at heel end. Seymour Duncan Basslines SPB-2 pickup 10 position Stellartone Tonestyler varitone (in tone control position; vol control is stacked vol and passive tone CTS pots and Switchcraft jack. Lacquered solid brass high-mass bridge imported from US (through body stringing), Lacquered solid brass neck plate Gold control knobs Gold Schaller tuners  Parts alone exceeded £600 in value. Pics from when I bought the bass about 10 months ago but the condition is virtually the same. Hope you do nt mind me using your pics Until I get some decent ones of my own Shaggy? Collection from Blackburn Lancs preferred but can ship at buyers expense and risk. It will be well packed for its journey though. The cost of a semi rigid case can also be discussed if needs be. Any questions please ask.
  6. Chaos. Have you ever tried to play bass, sing and catch PA cabs at the same time? Drunk women everywhere. Falling all over the place. Talking borax, flirting with remnants of slaver and sick on their chins and generally acting like they’d had a blow to the back of the head. One particular woman kept on falling into the PA and into the singer/guitarists pedals. She had to be picked up and steadied countless times. In the end between songs, my brother who was in the audience and fed up with having to sort her out and asking her to behave, shouted at her in full view of the audience“ “Look, if you don’t fekin sort yourself out, I’m going to fondle your bottom”. 😂😂 She looked at him hiccuped and said “ I beg your pardon?” He shouted back “You heard”. She about turned and cleared off and stood at the bar. Much to the relief of everyone else. You could see the look of relief in folks faces. My brother got a few smiles and pats on the back too 😂😂 Some folk will probably think he shouldn’t have said that but believe me, he saved her from getting punched and kicked as she’d upset a good number of folk by that time. Anyway, we’re playing there again next year but we intend to take a barricade. Seriously!
  7. On Hold while I decide whether to keep it. Been having a noodle with it and I'd forgotten how good it is!
  8. I totally agree but I’ve had some outstanding instruments and equipment over the years and have still sold them in an endless futile search. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m never going to be happy so why have thousands invested in something I’m not happy with? Maybe if I was a rich bloke I might feel different though 😁
  9. A mate of mine uses one of these. We shared the same stage recently in a theatre. It literally boomed! What a sound. Paired with a Jazz, it absolutely filled the stage with a gloriously warm creamy dreamy sound. I’ve been quite smitten since. GLWTS
  10. Got it! A good scrub with a wire brush and dettol sorted it. Smells lovely now 😂 Strings surprisingly ok. A bit of a neglected bass I must say but at under £60 with a gigbag… Guide stickers on the neck (came off really easily) High action. Took it as low as it would possibly go at the bridge and still too high. Ummmm. Adjusted the truss rod as far as I felt I should. It would have gone further but I thought no, I’ll not push it. It was still a bit high for my liking so I shimmed it. Now it’s perfect for my taste. I even had to raise the bridge a bit (which I wanted really as the saddles were literally sitting on the bridge plate). The bridge plate actually looks a bit bent, which might account for the action. You might be able to see it in the pictures. The neck is definitely more chunky-ish Precision feel. I would have liked Jazz but I knew it said Precision before I bought it. It plays quite nicely though. No sharp edges The tuners will need replacing. They are shoddy. If these are an example of what they become over time, change yours if you get the chance. Some are slack one is really tight. One is wobbly. No neck dive to speak of on this one. Maybe a tad but certainly not as issue for me. Lovely and light. Can’t knock the sound either. I’ve only had it through the home studio setup but it sounded well through there. I’ll get it through my rig at rehearsals next week. If it lacks in the sound department, I’ve got a Yammy P/J pup setup that would sit nicely in there anyway. I’d definitely gig with it if needs be. It’s not the best thing since sliced bread. It’s a cheap more than capable tool and great value for money. That’s my spare sorted!
  11. I’ve just got one from the local Cash Generator for £59.99. Can’t wait to pick it up tomorrow! 😁
  12. I’m still loving the Antoria Paul! I’d trust your opinion on a bass any day. I’m a sucker for white and maple but the rack is over spilling and I need to move stuff on before even thinking about it 😂
  13. Oh it’s the borax! I’ve still got a manual and some sound cards somewhere (they have proven impossible to find for the last 10 years though). I’d love another but I’ve already got far too much stuff. GLWTS
  14. Perhaps any bands that really do want to play there, should just expose themselves.
  15. Bought Lawrie’s Pickmaster. Arrived super quick and super packaged. As described. Good comms. Can’t ask for more than that. Thanks again Lawrie .
  16. I believe there is a wait for a Staytrem bridge too? True, how long, I don’t really know.
  17. I’ve enlarged the pictures and I’m pretty sure that the horn hasn’t actually been cut off. Novices will probably never notice but to the trained eye it’s blatantly obvious. It’s actually had a damned good twaitting. 😂
  18. Boss SY-300. Absolutely superb bass synth, endless possibilities. In great working condition but does have a couple of chips to the paint that I’ve tried to show in the pics. In truth I want to keep it but there are a couple of items that I need more at this time so, I’m selling to fund those. Or, May trade. Trade - loud lightweight combo. 12” MB etc. Line6 HX Effects. Will post or collection and trial from Blackburn Lancs.
  19. If they’d removed those steps in the background they would have easily spotted their mistake 😂
