Burns-bass

I did a dad joke about this. Did you know I learn to play guitar while I sleep? I’ve been fretting all night. (kids didn’t laugh as they’re kids)

Personally, if it appears too good to be true, it pretty much always is. There are vultures who circle Facebook looking for deals and if they’ve not jumped on it, ask yourself why. Why on earth would you remove a decal? It’s just BS. Personally I wouldn’t waste the time or effort on it. I’d never be happy with a bass with dodgy provenance and you won’t sell it for much either.

BS. The guy is sleeping on a mattress on the floor.

Interesting. I’m not in the market for anything so don’t check regularly. Had a look today and the Strat looked nice.

I’ve also had a great experience with Moto Music in Cardiff. It’s a little more pricy but they only buy great examples and the service is fantastic. People like this and Bass Bros, etc, show there still is life for shops.

I love shops like this. It’s like it use to be. They’ve got a lovely looking 70s strat for a very fair price.

Don’t get me started on that. I 100% agree

I should say the slightly dodged used bass was sorted out immediately with a refund in my account within 24 hours and the bass collected with no problems.

I bought one bass that was dodgy and two that were ace. I think they’re focusing on used gear and going for volume which means competitive used sale prices. I think cash values will be low, maybe you’ll get 60% of retail.

Sometimes an instrument speaks to you, and I think we all know that feeling. I recently picked up a Jack Cassidy bass and that was similar. Think we’re all really fascinated to see how this one works out. Fingers crossed the electrics are salvageable. I bet they are.

That bridge looks like a human health risk to me. Love the look of this. I was in discussions with the shop owner before you bought this on Reverb! Well played, Sir.

I must admit when I have the SLBs (100 and 200) I never tried to bow them. That’s because I didn’t have the confidence or technique. I’m currently getting lessons and perhaps the SLBs were designed more for this than pizz. Very interesting, and it’s lovely to hear you’ve got a premium instrument you love to play.

That’s in an incredible state. Bravewood eat your heart out! The biggest risk is you apply too much pressure and sheer off the top of one of the screws. Guess you could get it re-chromed but I think an aged replacement would be better. You might spend £200 on a replacement 70s bridge but I wouldn’t bother. Keep this one on the case and fit a usable and high quality new one.

I’m sure it has a market but I’m not sure who. I owned one and assumed I’d play it when the kids went to bed. Never happened as I preferred my DB. I turned up to practice with it once and I got some odd looks and a few laughs.

I’ve had all the electric uprights out there (apart from the SL300 and Kolstein) and none is anywhere near a real DB. I recently picked up a WAV4 and it’s a lovely made thing but I’ve not played it once since o picked it up.

I've still for a brand new and sealed Bose speaker upstairs. I bought in summer when I had outdoor gigs, but I haven't needed to use it since then, and so it's now covered in (clean) washing.

I’m too tired to edit it.

You can get a 4/4 in the smallest cars (I have!). Last gig I got my DB, two 10” cabs, two amps and a leads box. We also got two guitars, two guitar amps, a PA speaker on and a coat, all in a 2034 Dacia Sandero. Fold down the seats and by turning the bass on its side, you can slide the neck between the two front seats and secure in place with a coat or some padding. Easy!

I’d be I tereted in the Krivo Chris.

Fascinating stuff!

I’m going to buy one as a back up for gigs.

Although this has me wondering a little bit… https://bassbros.co.uk/product/skull-bass/

They’re just good lads. Fair trade ins, reasonable prices and they are nice.

I asked at PMT and em this was basically what they told me. It’s one gig fee so I’ll order from Thomann. Appreciate the reply!
