Hi


Is the Bongo still for sale?

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]UPDATE: I finally bit the bullet and posted my ad for £7. [/font][/color][url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/249457-aria-sinsonido-silent-travel-bass-fretless/"]View here[/url][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] to see what all the fuss was about (shameless plug but I really couldn't help myself!).[/font][/color]

[color=#333333][s]£220[/s] - now dropped to £170[/color]

[color=#333333]Need to sell before Christmas - if I am to feed my kids!!!!![/color]

[color=#333333]Ideal as a travel spare.[/color]

[color=#333333]Sinsonido Bass travel guitar can be played through headphones or through Midi interface/amplifier. The body frame makes for comfortable playing while seated, or can be removed for playing while standing, with a strap. The guitar retails for £435 new. [/color]

[color=#333333]Very lightweight guitar that packs into a padded case (supplied) for easy transport. I will include a spare set of strings and headphones as part of the overall deal. This is a 'take anywhere' bass guitar. [/color]

[color=#333333]Deal does not include the midi interface shown. This can be purchased separately.[/color]

[color=#333333]Happy to arrange postage to UK mainland for approximately £20 or meet up within 50 miles of Glasgow.[/color]

My wife thinks I'm addicted to brake fluid.

I told her I can stop anytime!

Got it. Makes sense now.

Cheers.

See GAS used all the time. Being a newbie I have absolutely no idea what it means.

Can someone enlighten me?


David

Had a couple of basses about 20 years ago. Dabbled but never seriously.

Now approaching 50, looking to learn fretless and try to emulate (albeit at a very rudimentary level) Pino's sound on the Paul Young 'No Parlez' album.

For me this was when I first heard the bass as a creative instrument as opposed to a 'backing element'. No disrespect to bassists the world over - I'm simply trying to articulate the effect that Pino's playing, sound, tone and texture had on me. This wasn't bass guitar - this was music!

Do you feel the same?

Can you point me towards anyone else who has a similar playing style?


On a related note I watched Pino playing with The Who, and as much as I respect Pino - he seemed misplaced. Naturally this is subjective but there you go. My post - my rules!



Anyways - back to the beer. It won't drink itself you know!


David

Discreet

Very diplomatic - and with just the right touch of humour that tickles my funny bone.


Kind regards,

David

Fair point Luke FRC - especially as I am new to this. I actually enjoy looking through old posts to salivate over all the bass guitars I cannot afford - yet!

Nonetheless I have had considerable success with Gumtree and I haven't paid a penny in fees. Perhaps I have been spoiled and it is time to get real.

Cheers,

David

Yep - I'm getting the message, and there is a real sense of people wishing to do the right thing and support the community - but I still maintain that the charge issue raised its head as I attempted to post an item for sale whereas I feel that an earlier 'heads up' might have been in order.

Perhaps it is the Scotsman in me!

Subbeh

Actually that's a good point, and one that I never considered. My ad would be seen by bassists as opposed to general 'traffic' that may or may not have an interest in bass guitars. I'm not saying I'm convinced but I definately get the logic of your argument.

Hi


I fully understand that everything carries a cost but I tried to post a For Sale ad and was confronted with either a £20 or a £7 fee option.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a bit steep?


David

UPDATE: I finally bit the bullet and posted my ad for £7. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/249457-aria-sinsonido-silent-travel-bass-fretless/"]View here[/url] to see what all the fuss was about.
