      Hi there, so sorry for your loss, Nick was a lovely and well respected guy around these parts. Perhaps if you have a specific request or people you want to contact from the forum you could post at the end of this thread about Nick? Again - so sorry

  2. That turned out to be a rather expensive bass! 🙂

      Told you Gibson basses were very undervalued by the market!

  3. Updating my status so it bumps to the top! Fundraiser for Iris, Andy Trav's daughter, includes well over 100 donations and is now over £3,200.

      In 2 hours since I changed this status the total has leaped to £3,500. Go BassChat!

  4. Another The InSect gig coming up. Friday at the Dublin Castle  in  Camden. Come along for some goth/post punk and also nerdy bass gear-gazing, if you wanna see a Wilcock Mullarkey in action!

     

  5. Olympics closing ceremony music section and the bassists for Air and Phoenix have each played US Mustangs and each had a piece of black tape obscuring the Fender logo???

      The thing is, H.E.R. (she of the mimed guitar solo in Paris) had a Fender Strat with a clear unadulterated Fender logo????

      Maybe they were MDP Mustangs, with carefully cut nuts (for a comfy low action for those of us with small/large hands), re-sited tuners and tone tape? PS, have you read my romance/fantasy book, "A whiff of smoke over the angle grinder", set in the Greek islands?

  7. Having a bass you dearly want but a bass you need to sell first is an agonising first world problem.

      As is impatiently buying a bass when funds are available, only to see a nicer one come up for sale a couple of weeks later...

  8. Daughter's wedding on Saturday. Speech written, proof-read and practised. Suit collected from cleaners. Car getting valeted tomorrow. Fingers crossed for the weather.

      Hoping all goes fantastically well! My (only) daughter gets married in July and I haven't written a word of my speech yet. Eeeekkk!

  9. Is it me, or is the Classfieds slower than ever at the moment?  Noticing a LOT of stuff hanging around for ages that would have been snapped up not so long ago...

    1. Clarky

      I have given up for now and withdrawn the two basses I was trying to sell on both BC and eBay. Reason being I spend too much time checking in and bumping and - on eBay - answering idiots!  A kind of relief to not keep wasting time ... and I am sure the market will return to something like normality at some point

      I have taken to putting stuff up on eBay as well. That's pretty dead too. Loads of watchers, no actual offers (apart from the occasional absurd lowball chancer, eg £600 for my vgc black/black/maple US Jazz)

  17. That annoying moment when you buy a Big Muff pedal from GAK and - on delivery - you discover the box (correctly labelled as Bass Big Muff) in fact contains a guitar tremelo pedal. Grrrrr

    1. Clarky

      Clarky

      Fortunately GAK were quick to contact and offer to send a replacement plus a free collection of the erroneous pedal. So, all in all, a nuisance but dealt with quickly by GAK customer service

      @walshy has a man-with-van he uses regularly. Is that the one you were thinking of, Mick?

  19. I'm starting a flight company exclusively for bald people.

    It's called Receding Airlines. 

  20. Just been made a Basschat Grand Master. I assume this means I get keys to the executive Basschat loo and my own personal parking space? No one need salute, happy to keep it informal.

      As a fellow Grand Master I have continued to lose large sums of money in the For Sale section, while posting pictures of my sausage dogs in Off Topic. As Geddy sang, Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose

  21. OMG. It's Pancake Day next week (21st). That really crêped up on me.

    1. Clarky

      That's a truly crepe pun which deserves to fall flat
