How about a blanket £50 limit covering even the more expensive strings and all straps, plectrums and cables

It’s like being Donald trump

Totally agree. Only substantial purchases count

But they expire unlike money, so there is a concrete pressure to use them. I know of no one who has enough loyalty points to get a bass, amp, cab or pedal - ie something substantial enough to be called gear. The original question came from someone who did not declare if he wanted a spare , has a broken cable or was going to gift it to someone. I don’t think it matters - cables, strings and picks 🤮are consumables

No, that’s a bit close to opening the floodgates two things swayed me 1. it was loyalty points so not actual real money. They had to be spent there. A form of coercion, albeit gentle 2. it was an item that is absolutely a consumable, and inexpensive

Coerced is not the same as encouraged or “ought” and it depends upon the nature and cost of the item.

leave him some feedback ?

Well, if you were coerced into it then you’re totally in the clear

He has to return it though, not sell it for buttons when the next shiny thing appears with reach of his clammy paws 🐾

Consumable you’re good to go

JFDI

That’s good enough for me. If someone tasteful enough to play bass says there’s little to no difference, Joe Public has zero chance

How like the real thing does it sound ?

Regarding the six string thing, best not mentioned unless followed by the word “bass” 😀

Welcome what gear are you thinking of buying ? I point you towards Marketplace where you can buy basses that are properly maintained and fettled

No, I’m not related to him and he hasn’t murdered anyone or actively tried to subvert democracy and the rule of law. Probably

Personally I’ll give you a hall-pass. Or maybe a trump style “discharge” dont don’t do it again

You’re speaking some strange language there. 🧐

Are 70s Greco, aria etc P and j basses actually any good ?

I have just been down the deepest rabbit home on eBay searching for “ Japan bass guitar”

This is basschat you know. We skipped the page in English class where use of the verb “to need” was discussed

I totally agree (with the first statement) saying “no comment” to the second (separated above for clarity)
