Huge thanks to everyone involved in organising & hosting the event. It was great fun, really enjoyed it - ended up staying longer than I was meant to! Whoops... Good to meet a few friends, as well as get chatting to new ones & try out some different gear. That P-bass that Shockwave had was lovely.... I was the one with the Orange terror head + barefaced can in the theatre room, for anyone wondering! Cheers

Purchased a J&D Jazz from Dunc, no problems at all - quick comms throughout & bass packed like it was being delivered via a warzone. Hassle free, smooth transaction - recommended

Me again! Just bought a Mono double case, again pleasant (I wouldn't have been if someone came knocking on my door whilst I was having dinner!) & smooth transaction. Cheers

Oh thanks, that's ruined the surprise!!!

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1413741717' post='2581453'] The prices vary quite a lot. But, that's a good price. Not gobsmackingly low, as they very occasionally don't make £100. But on the other hand they sometimes go for £160 or so. [/quote] I saw a thread on here where one was sold for around £150, so that was my guide price. I think having cheap postage made it appeal to a few more bidders, but hey - I'm happy!

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1413102481' post='2574837'] Westone Thunder 1A just popped up, starting bid £75 and £4.99 postage - listed under 'vintage electric guitars' rather than basses so it may miss a lot of searches and end up a massive bargain.

Never played one, but heard good things!

The S7 serial number makes this a '78 according to the gender website. Without photos of the neck / pits etc though, hard to tell!

Quite tempted to take a stab at it...

Clarky put up with me mulling over whether I wanted to sell my fretless, then put up with me mulling over whether I'd trade it... met up for a chat to swap basses, he even threw in some free life advice (don't get married & don't have kids... I think that was he said!). Another top transaction, cheers!

Phil bought my Tony Franklin fretless from me - popped over to try it out before making a decision so got to have a brief chat - quick to respond, excellent comms & a thoroughly nice chap - highly recommended! Enjoy the bass!

Just to echo everything that's already been said - very pleasant, smooth & quick transaction in selling my Tanglewood travel bass. Met up at a pub to hand the bass over & ended up staying for a couple of pints & a chat. Another recommendation to add to the list above from me, Enjoy the bass!
