[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1374906364' post='2154591'] Icarus guitars are what you're thinking of there bud? Notorious they were in the late 60's [/quote] Hi Andy no it is definitely Icthus and sorry I have not put any pictures on yet my camera has decided it doesn't want to work anymore.

[quote name='Angel' timestamp='1374840396' post='2153894'] We could do with a pic for any kind of ID. I suspect that 'ichtus' could be just a red herring, [/quote] I will dig the camera out

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1374904937' post='2154581'] Aren't they the ones that melt if you play them too close to stage lights? [/quote] Maybe lol

Just bought Gary's jazz bass the bass was as described and in tip top condition Gary was very easy to deal with and kept me informed at all stages of the sale shipping was also very fast, so in a nutshell Gary is a very helpful and polite person to deal with I would buy from him again without hesitation a real gem of a bloke Thanks Gary

Really enjoyed the songs they are like you say proper old fashioned rock songs nice one mate

[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1374343610' post='2147901'] My rat clone came straight to my door at £22 delivered. Here's a short comparison, ENO DR-1S Rat clone and ProCo RAT with LM308 chip. My mate->fender telecaster '52 RI->pedals->Vox Ac15 cc2 with sound crappily plucked from the air by my iPhone.

[quote name='Les' timestamp='1374094817' post='2145300'] Just googled it cos' I'd never heard of it. Wow, that bass is uglier than a bucket of frogs. [/quote] Agreed they look awful

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1373992015' post='2143974'] +1 I can think of a lot of other basses that i'd rather spend a grand on. [/quote] I could buy 2 or 3 basses for a grand

I think black looks fantastic but shows dust and white is nice but always looks dirty lol I would still go for black myself though

Now that is one serious p--s take

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1373708651' post='2140760'] Increasingly seeing this in the forum and I don't think it's right. Surely as its the seller who knows the preshipping condition of the instrument, is ensuring the bass is packed well and wants to make the sale it should always be their responsibility? I wonder how many online bass shops would still be going if they adverised shipping at buyers risk! Then there is the whole trust issue... 'oh the truss rod worked fine when it was with me, must have been the courier...' etc. I have had a few things damaged in courier when I have sold them and I wouldn't dream of telling the buyer to deal with it themselves! Also, any insurance claim would have to be handled by the sender, so I'm at a loss really. Surely if a buyer wants to offer postage to assist his chance of a sale, he should be responsible? [/quote] Agreed one of the most sensible things I have heard for ages When I see postage at buyers risk I tend to steer away from the item and look for another.

No might be worth a try it looks very much like a Traben Personally I still prefer the look of the FJB-20 but at near £700 quid I wont be buying one how much is the HB-20 anyway?

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1373647798' post='2140240'] Sellers are encouraged to make it clear in their ads/titles weather they'd like swaps or not. Most of the time, people invite trade options in addition to cash sales, hence a unified marketplace. It wouldn't be very easy to set up given the complicated architecture of the current setup. We might look at integrating the 'tags' system more thoroughly so you could filter items by type in the future. Cheers [/quote] Yay thanks for reading Ped and thanks for your reply I see what you mean about it being hard to do just thought I would share my thoughts on the subject

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1373646600' post='2140202'] Sorry mate I didn't mean to come across all big brotherish [/quote] Your not mate what you said is bang on the money and I appreciate the input anyway any idea who I would need to ask about this mod wise? thanks As thus far people seem to think it is a good idea

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1373644689' post='2140159'] I've got a CIJ P bass and I'm looking to swap it for £600 , is that allowed Only joking I totally support the sites new selling rules , Op do you need to check with a mod about this ? Great idea though [/quote] Oh yes it would totally be up to a mod or admin to make a decision like this I just posted the idea to see if it was OK with the hope of the powers that be would read it and see what they thought
