    [quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1380705818' post='2229124'] It is ridiculous that we have to worry about a courier damaging an item. If they cannot get an reasonably packed item from A to B without damaging it then what use are they? I find it strange that[b] I[/b] have to insure an item against [b]their[/b] incompetence. Insurance should not be required if they did there job correctly. The more frequently they damage the items in their custody = The more we feel that we have to purchase insurance = More profit for the company. That isn't a service, that is extortion, and that is ilegal. [/quote] Agree x1000!

    On the flipside, i once received a bass to my front door wrapped in no more than a single sheet of bubble-wrap! Couldn't believe it. Especially as the courier left it in clear view on my doorstep all day!

    Factoring in the additional costs of shipping by couriers with large overheads puts off sellers I am sure - especially when it's hard to trust that your beloved instrument will make the journey in one piece - so you buy extra insurance to cover the replacement value... The cost goes up further putting off buyers. it's a sad state of affairs for sure.

    It's that slim nut, yes

    Nyargh! Struggling with a mobile device. The first picture is of the bass now and the second, a much clearer image features the bass with the original keys and bridge on.

    I promised myself I'd never sell this bass, a phrase that has been seen written many times on BassChat. This is an interesting one as it has been one of my favourites, yet has been a collectable rather than a player. In the time that I've owned it, it hasn't actually ever played a gig. The first time this wonderful instrument was used *properly* was for last months edition of Guitar Interactive Magazine, where you'll be able to see and hear it in action. The bass originally came with a mirror scratch plate and chrome hardware along with the US Vintage pickups and I understand CTS pots. I have upgraded with premium Wilkinson tuning keys, a superb high-mass gold bridge and a correct 70's three ply black pickguard. The colour scheme was chosen to match John Deacon's original P bass that he had refinished sometime around 1985-86 ready for the A Kind Of Magic tour. Oh, gold knobs, Gold screws, Gold neck plate and gold schaller strap lock buttons too! If you are not aware, the non-export models are Japan's premium instruments that aren't meant to be out in europe as they clash with Fender's USA models (and are available at a much lower price considering how GOOD these are.) I'm not sure if I should even be selling this one, but the time seems right and I need a flush of 'new' to take me forward. The price is realistic for the quality and condition for the instrument in line with (or rather cheaper than) other non-export models. This is the real deal that makes a total mockery of original 70's P basses (of which plenty I've played). Shipping will only happen if a full hardcase can be provided OR I will source one and add it to the cost. Shipping is always insured and tracked and I would prefer to deal UK only. Bank transfer is accepted. Pictures to come shortly *** Checking eBay, from Japan_Syndrome you can buy export models of the PBx0- basses for £618 + £80 shipping + vat Plus 20% of total on top to cover customs and excise minimum. This one is a good deal I reckon!

    I'm actually rather excited to see this post as I'm having one of these serviced right now and can't wait to hear it! Mine is an old MK1 girl though - easily between 67 and 69. SO, bump for a great bit of british engineering!

    Dave, I assume that because you'd gone to talk to Hartke that you'd somehow had a problem with the shop that you bought from? I mean - it's the outlet who provides the customer service where a product purchased is faulty.

    I want to review the new big twin.

    [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1380390618' post='2224705'] I can see how it could impede two hand tapping, [/quote] It really doesn't

    I love how this question comes round each year (or more often) - i think it's safe to say that since those ole Gibsons of yesteryear up to today, they're here to stay!

    bump.

    Bump!

    I have a B3 and an MS60B that I use together! It's a great way of setting up one set of effects that may stay the same in each song and another set that changes - for example I like to use the MS in a similar way to guitarists with a three channel amp. Clean, Rhythm and Lead settings (read that as clean, grit and reaaaally dirty sounds) Dood.

    I have a wonderful hardcase that I bought with my superb Gerald Veasley 6 string. It is unmarked and looks shiny new! I seem to have too many cases at the moment and not much house space, so I've decided to sell this one. you'd be better off collecting, but I think shipping is also possible! PM me asap.

    [quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1379166749' post='2209369'] Having bought a Hartke Kilo and returned it as faulty (lack of power) i'm loathe to use Hartke gear now. I still haven't heard from their Customer Service dept after 2wks. Even tried Mr Hartke himself who is seen advertising that he answers queries or issues personally and to get in touch with him if you have any problems. Still waiting on him too. Not the best service I've ever experienced. Borders on the worst though. Dave [/quote] let me see what I can do for you!

    Hi all! I have a superb Boss BCB-60 pedal board for sale including extra long power supply from Roland, all cables, undamaged foam inserts, screws and fixings. Yes, you are unlikely to get all the bits included second hand! Even the catches on the outside aren't broken! Price included UK shipping. PM me asap as I am advertising elsewhere!

    I really rate the LH series - especially plugging straight in to the passive input (so no attenuation) with a bass with a hot output. Still tones of headroom and loads of volume to boot. The head is a brilliant idea actually - taking a very simple and ultra clean valve preamp and strapping it on to a 500/1000W power amplifier - without the need for extra bells and whistles. It sounds bloomin' brilliant. For the price, highly recommended. I've used 'em live for lots of gigs.

    Don't forget the Seymour Duncan P bass pickup too - Steve now has a signature model. This will help contribute to the sound I feel. I've two P basses with the same woods and different pickups and they both sound completely differerent to each other.
