Westenra

Was listening to the radio today and the classic 'Take Five' came on, after humming it for several hours later I decided to look at some sheet music and a breakdown of it. When reading one description it said the tonal centre shifts from Eb minor to Gb major then back again. What I don't get it is the reason for the relative major key modulation? If all the notes are the same then the only two things change which are the chord progression notes and the tonal centre, right? What other reasons would you have for switching to the relative major/minor key?

Is this something that can be fixed?

Is there a minimum word length for search? Tried looking for G&L and it isn't working

Which was that?

Looks like they're using my favourite CAD software too - Rhino3D ?

Liked these when they first came out, shame there isn't more of them! If you could post some clips that would be worth checking out.

Looks weird with the silver grill.

I never understood why MB didn't include headphones/aux in on any their combos, yet put it on one of their most powerful!

I really like the look of that, had the little dual for a while to experiment with stereo ping pong delay. How do you match the inputs though?

I would've used the bass for its main intention, not as a item to get richer from.

Using the original description is the bit that hit a nerve with me, the original seller did mods to it and the new seller claimed them as his own. Working in a bulding profession I'm all too familiar with people taking credit for my work and it rubs me the wrong way. I've got nothing against people that buy stuff cheap, work on it and then sell it on for profit (done this myself), but when someone takes credit for someone else's it hits that nerve. Anyways, the ad has now gone!

Not loosing sleep over it, just had to get on my hands and knees and look for my eyes after they rolled out of my head after seeing the second listing. I'm all for making a profit, but things like this grind my gears as it sets precedent. If someone was to list the same thing they would look at similar listings and set a price reflecting of that, now if the prices they see are hugely inflated theirs will be too. Then if a buyer decides to sell the item on they wouldn't want to loose any money on it so they'd ask the same price if not more. It just makes the whole second hand business infuriating for buyers when prices fluctuate more than bitcoin.

Well first of all it isn't worth £780 and it just comes across as greedy beyond belief. Secondly he uses all the original sellers photos and descriptions, posting the ad several hours after picking it up. It's just all in very bad taste to me. It's people like him that cause the price hikes on other second hand items, I've seen it happen with strymon pedals and now Korg minilogues. He's also taken the opportunity for an actual interested buyer who wanted to actually own the bass away at a reasonable price.

So last weekend I was scooping out eBay and came across a lovely Yamaha BB1024 in caramel with upgraded tuners, real bargain at £350! Unfortunatly my phone didn't remind me and I missed out; it finished with a single bid at £350. Cursing my luck I searched eBay and gumtree the day after and low and behold the exact same bass was listed again, same photos, same description, the only thing that was different was the price which was now over double - £780!! I messaged the guy saying I'd buy it for £350, he replied "for you £790", to which I replied "Well that's what you bought it off eBay for" and surprisingly I didn't get a response. I tracked down the original eBay listing and sent the seller a message asking if he knew the buyer was already flipping the bass for over double. He promptly replied thanking me for bringing this to his attention, said the buyer asked for a big favor, called the price rubbish and said he would contact eBay regarding the same photos and description being used without his consent. On the off chance he hadn't actually posted the bass yet I replied back asking that I'd actually buy it off him and pick it up this weekend, sadly the buyer had already picked it up and replied with this; "Yes, he's a crook. Too bad he's already got the bass. Please don't buy it off him" Original ad - https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-BB1024-Bass-Guitar-P-J-pickups-in-Caramel-Brown-immaculate/322893660632?_trksid=p2504926.m5232.l9681 The crooks ad - https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-BB1024-Bass-Guitar-P-J-pickups-in-Caramel-Brown/282740010684?_trksid=p2504926.m5232.l9681

Bought and safely received one of his bass books, easy transaction, would recommend.
