Hey fellow low Enders. Probably a very old enquiry,this but what does everyone use to mount the bass pod (kidney bean) to a mic stand? I see that there used to be a holder available but no one has them anymore 

The same seller has another on eBay at the minute. Strongly recommended seller. Went well out of his way to deliver this in person

Looks like the Cort bug has certainly bitten recently.🙂

For sure. I love em! 

Got the lockdown blues,so what better way to treat myself than a new bass?!

 It’s a Cort gb 64jj

has an ash body and roasted maple neck,2 jazz pups and a two band eq. Plus push/pull active passive on the vol pot. Just beautiful! Since the pic I have replaced the bridge with a Fender hi-mass jobby.

Heads up......

Have you seen this thread, 

Although I should stress there are no proven links yet, it is very likely that these two are the same person, given the similarities in offences and the use of 12 in their email addressees, Instagram profile and the username he had in the above thread when he claimed to be another person. 

Wow! Looks like the same guy. And under a suspended sentence too. Muppetry

I’ve added a post on guitars for sale UK on Facebook ,which this lowlife was a predator on, and two more victims have come forward.

    I have been advised to file a report with Action Fraud and that’s what I’d recommend anyone else do. The more reports the stronger the case

Yup,add me to the list. I bought an Alesis sr18 drum machine. Mark S property on fb marketplace.  Insisted on Skrill payment, and hey nonny no,it never arrived. His email was [email protected] .

I've had contact with another of his victims after I put a scam alert on marketplace. This gentleman was scammed on gumtree for a boss pedal. He is going as far as bringing a legal case and has sent me copies of documents.I have since reported him to Action Fraud which is part of the Metropolitan Police.

Also,I researched the Skrill payment platform. Seems it is all above board,but was designed and intended for online gambling.

Hi!

I have a Vester Platin. I replaced both jazz pickups and put an EMG BQC in it. Works great!

Very nice, unusual

I do. I love the artistry, the combinations of instruments.

That's where you're going wrong - you're meant to film yourself playing bass

Reading these sort of threads with interest it does seem to be that the guys who haven't gigged for a while seem to to have the most difficulty. Maybe being out the loop and 

rusty networks take their toll.

It's the pool that you have to recruit from that's the problem. I've personally been gigging constantly since early 80's. It's my main income, although I wouldn't use the word professional. It frustrates me that the folk you come across aren't of the same level of interest. I'm now 50 and the group of peers are just dwindling hobbyists or mid life crisis types. Or so it seems. My mate is a former cruise ship guitarist who has ended up being a care assistant on a shift rota. So sad

Dropping EMGS in?

I've recently acquired one of these - very pleasantly surprised. Plays and sounds great and looks gorgeous.

Do you find the rosewood(?) in the neck has shrunk past the maple?

Exactly, hauling lights, sound, set up and tear down and the grueling effort and challenge of playing and trying to effectively manage 4 hours worth of material has to be about money.

I will leave my home today at 4:15pm and will get home at 2:00am.

And as I always say, we'll have fun but we don't do it for fun, we do it for money.

Thats a great point. The amount of background work involved, let alone the learning of instruments and the night spent rehearsing. I feel we usually get tge s&£% end of the stick as musicians when it comes to the earnings. Especially here in the UK when it's pub brewerys that dictate how much is in the budget. I played a gig a couple of years ago, and the landlord said to us"its ace when you guys play here. I never take less than £3500" he was paying us £275 between 5 of us
