I like the pink version. The Bax sale is great -bought some ultra noiseless strat pickups yesterday for £150 : about £100 than less on GAK or £220 less than on the Fender website. Just hoping they turn up without issue !

I bought the model t and returned it as it was crap - had the shielding/ grounding issue but apart from that was just completely bland.

I've got that one too a stunning bass with great 'tronics.

I put a matching outlaw and maverick plus into my shoppping basket but just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger . By the time you had upgraded them you may as well have bought something decent in the first place. I did it with 3 Sue Ryders !

I was enjoying playing with Udio and making some cool tunes in it until I listened to another members generated track which was trending. The vocals on it were clearly those of Stacey Kent - if you know of her you will know what a distinctive voice she has. That did it for me and I cancelled my membership. Using existing work to train a model is bad enough but to then use actual voices in finished songs is appalling. If all artists opt out where will this leave them ?

I have 2 Blackstar guitar amps a HT1 and a HT5 both are awesome - I upgraded the HT1 with a Celestion and new valves but the HT5 mk iii was perfect as it is. Great value for money.

Bass + Twonotes Revolt +Zoom MS60B+ + PJB Double Four = Awesome.

I saw this article on ebay yesterday https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/account/regulatory/uk-digital-sales-reporting?id=5454 and wondered if the Basschat Marketplace would be subject to the same requirements ?

This was one of the dearer models I'd seen : https://www.thomann.co.uk/ns_design_nxt4a_vn_bk_f_fretted_violin.htm?glp=1&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpcWpsKHSiwMV4pFQBh04Owj5EAQYByABEgI5FPD_BwE Just £2000 more than my budget 😁

I did try violin many years ago - it was an engagement present of the Mrs. Suprised she still married me when she heard the horrible scratching sound I made.

Picked this up a few weeks ago -a lovely 2012 walnutglo 4003 I'd owned a few Ric guitars before and found them o.k. but this is sublime.

Hi @Steve Browning, I recently heard Ebay are reporting sales(presumably cumulative) over a certain amount to HMRC in case there are tax implications i.e they are assuming you are a business seller. I buy and sell a lot of musical gear - its a hobby and I usually make a loss on the sales - so if I sell gear on ebay for say £10,000 ( which actually cost me £12,000) how would that work tax wise or is it irrelevant or would need evidencing etc.

Well I know Rimmers music don't over estimate the market value of instruments - I was buying a new Keyboard last week and asked for a trade in price for a 2 week old Fender American Pro2 Precision and a roland Aerophone Ae20 - they offered me £600 for both ! PMT price matched so I bought the keyboard from them without px. Rimmer's stupidity/greed lost them a sale. The sax sold on ebay for £500 within minutes of listing it.

I saw a violin with frets on a Facebook video - would love a go on one of those. They seem to be really expensive or quite cheap and nasty so not likely to try one any time soon. I love the look of this one though and electric so you can add a bit of distortion 😁

I like the gold !

Only 1 for me really. A Warwick Teambuilt Thumb BO in white - picked it up mint for £800 locally. Crazy prices now !

I've just bought and returned a new Schecter Model T exotic.Not only did it have a shielding / grounding issue but despite it looking lovely it was really uninspiring to play. I swapped it for a Fender Am Pro Precision which is simply fantastic. Keep the jazz or check out the Schecter C4 silver mountain - now that is a cool bass for metal !

So I got the Schecter Model T exotic in replacement and that went back too with a shielding/grounding issue. Replaced this with a Fender Am Pro 2 Precision in Mercury which was in the sale and it is a beauty after a bit of set up. Now to find me a custom pickguard.......

We will all have seen Trump is implementing increased tariffs against a number of countries who will no doubt reciprocate. Obviously not discussing the political side of this, but just wondering how increased instrument prices will impact retailers or suppliers and how will they cope in an already difficult market ?

Exchanging it for a USA precision - that will definitely be the last ! 3rd time lucky !

Restrung it with a set of NYXL's which are uncoated. Still hear a hum unless I touch anything metal on the bass, strings, pots, bridge, jack.

Yes continued googling and saw the coating could be an issue. I've strung it through the body so not even the ball ends of the strings are touching the bridge - just the coated part of the string.
