I use WhatsApp when I have dealt with Will. He usually replies within hours. Number here: 07946 023849

I use these, really help with darker lighting https://glowtec.co.uk/fret-finders/

... not its not @cetera. Not even close! 854 basses. Wonder how many handbags his wife has? https://guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2024/8/musician-whos-shared-stage-with-legends-owns-worlds-largest-bass-guitar-collection

Yep. I have - a DB-friendly amp (GK MB150S) just in case I play DB live again ... I haven't played DB live in 6 years 😕 - a Markbass 121P combo in case I need a cleaner sound than my Orange TB based rig ... I not only do not need a clean sound in my current (goth) band but also every one of our gigs in the past year has had supplied back line so arguably I don't need an amp at all, let alone 3 ... - a "rawk" bass (Rick 4000) in case I play, well, rawk ... I auditioned for an AC/DC covers band a year ago which never got off the ground as both the drummer and vocalist failed to turn up to the first two rehearsals ... I should probably sell some of the above but my BC-addled brain would probably end up buying something else "just in case"

I just bought it. Did I do wrong?

I don't know how to photoshop and I'll wager many on this site can't do it either with the degree of skill required to fool most observers. If this deters just 1 scammer in 10 it's still a step forward to greater security on the site. As @ped says, if anyone has better suggestions maybe put them forward rather than just carp?

Will @Silvia Bluejay need left handed post-it notes?

Just bought a gorgeous Wilcock bass from Alex. Another excellent BC transaction, couldn't be happier! Many thanks, Alex

Don't forget you will need to pay roughly 20% on top for VAT/import duty as the bass would be imported from the EU, so you will need to factor that into your sums

All work but chain mail is best for metal

Allan bought a lovely retro Kay bass from me (apols it was a few months back). Super friendly, great comms. Another fab BCer!

I was thinking one of these tone socks might be good in my blues band

Inspired by Marcel Duchamp, apparently: https://www.guitarworld.com/features/mononeon-quilted-stereo I wonder if my rudimentary playing would benefit from an Alan Partridge style "ice white sock with navy blue double cadet stripe"?

Sean sold me a GK MB150S amp. Amp was as described and safely packed. All good! Many thanks

Marc bought my Serek bass. Friendly and communicative throughout, a pleasure to do business with!

Interesting poll results. No consensus whatsoever but, if you add in permutations of amps and cabs mentioned by various BCers, probably cetera (noun: multiplicity of bass equipment) wins

No, toys!

Wow, two aluminium basses - guessing the newbie is the one burns bass was selling? Still got the Kolstein as well, Jack?

I now have an Orange amp and cab (valvey old school), a Markbass combo and extension (more flexible sounds) and incoming Gallien combo (for DB). Just wondered if the collective BC wisdom is that this is excessive or just standard for us bass-type folks?
