    None at all. It’s a very lightweight -and we’ll balanced bass. I actually use it with straplocks so that may have an impact but overall it’s a lovely bass

    Does this come with any sort of case?

    You didn’t say what you were looking for 🙂

    Now £1599. I can't do this any cheaper and will keep it if I get no interest this time.

    The guitarist in my band has a residency there. Parking is a nightmare in Bristol centre (as I’m sure you know!). The crowd in there can be very boisterous. He’s experienced fights, smashed glasses and bashed equipment. Just look after yourself and stay vigilant I guess.

    I know I should (from a technical point of view) enjoy these videos, but I just can't watch them. All power to the YouTube crew though.

    Always read the small print! I asked someone who knows about these things and apparently they make much more money from business sellers. In time he believes eBay will attempt to become more like Amazon. Makes sense. I’ve just reduced the price on two items so there’s parity with BC.

    Could this smash the second hand market for instruments? Apparently eBay is slashing fee to 0. Quite how this makes economic sense I have no idea, but you’d expect sellers to now reduce prices to that without fees. I know I have… Interesting to see what happens.

    Seems like the classic gig nutcase. In my experience, it’s normally the vocalist that gets the most hassle.

    There are two Wals for sale on the Bass Direct website./.

    Now £1850.

    You can always advertise in the wanted section. But I reckon you're fine!

    Indeed. It tips the scales at 5kg.

    Reduced to £299

    I love originals bands but this cover band is purely a money making venture. The replies here have been helpful. Resentment can easily build up so I’m glad we’ve dealt with it head on.

    What an amazing hobby. I’m really impressed you’re able to do all of this. Good luck with everything.

    I can’t see the images there on my mobile, but you might be right. The neck and body join look good and so does the scratch plate. Occam’s razor and all that.
  19. Burns-bass
    Yes, I managed to find the listing from almost 20 years ago!

    It’s a standard Siennaburst Fender. only obvious change is the knobs (as these would be strat ones) These were notorious for being absolute monsters in terms of weight. I had one that I reckon was over 5kg. Sold it for £750 in 2004. Reckon this is about £2000 to expensive. AB had a late 70s jazz on for £2k, for example.

    Sad one this, but I didn’t play it… Here’s my 1978 Gibson Ripper bass in the glorious black. This sounds absolutely amazing. It’s been in the BC family for years (original FS ad posted below). The bass has a couple of necessary changes. It’s wearing straplocks (standard) the bridge cover is a replacement and the pickup and cover are Kent Armstrong like-for-like swaps. The bass sounds *incredible* and it’s got a lovely, full and rich tone. It’s currently wearing flats which inevitably add to that. Gibsons notoriously have low frets and this one is no different. The reason for the (relatively) low price is that the frets at the nut are very low. A dress will help but it may be worth considering a replacement in the near future. The bass is marked a Second. After asking some experts, consensus was it was likely a minor blemish. Could it be this freer marker dot? Quite possibly. The bass comes with a Hiscox case. I will send the bass to you but you’re more than welcome to come and try it (encouraged, even!) Price is £1895 £1650 £1550 which is reasonable for a bass that I admit may need a little work in the future. Images here. More on request. I’ll be sad to see this go but my roof work is taking longer and costing more.

    I used to use this one with the students when I was teaching A-level music (or the vocational equivalent). I found it was really good.

    Thanks Stu. Hope the HBs are still doing the job!
