    Looking for a battery powered FRFR speaker. The Mackie looks great but this is £100 cheaper, Does anyone have an opinion on either/both? https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Behringer-B1C-Battery-Powered-Portable-PA-System/682H?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_kjLRxu0CydeNxbiI3o_-j5ZQIm&gclid=CjwKCAjwx4O4BhAnEiwA42SbVEaz9H3GDy-GzCBJiXEzgtQpl_hYixRC0I_OuorNf24r4f4M4jOkgRoCtFEQAvD_BwE

    I had no idea either. Fair play to him, it’s a cool bass.

    That’s what I was quoted as well. Gibsons are notorious for low profile frets and this one is no different. Its a toss up between selling it at a fair price and getting it done and then probably keeping it. Let’s see what the market decides!

    And Cort basses are, by and large, good. I’m the end, all manufacturers will have problems. These basses clearly should have gone back to the manufacturer but through some chicanery were probably left with the retailer at a massive discount. I have no vested interest in Cort but I’d like at the retailer here.

    Guitar Guitar are knocking these out at £200 less than Thomman. Why? Because they’re all likely to be customer returns, warranty repairs or something else. I’m not criticising the OP as these are all advertised as brand new, no issue basses but they’re clearly not. This is duplicity on the case of the seller and should be called out. But when something appears too good to be true there’s usually a catch…

    I’m guessing the fret issue is causing a bit of concern here. I have two options: get this sorted myself or sell it at a price where you can have the confidence to do so yourself. How about £1650 as a weekend deal. That’s nearly a grand under what a shop would sell this for.

    They’re not an old school amp manufacturer, they just bought the brand. This could be a cool little amp.

    Did a 3-set, sit-down jazz and blues gig at a swanky bar. Clientele didn’t seem too intestates but we earned the most money we have ever done as a band.

    Agreed. I've got two gigs that way this weekend (The Library and outside Mother's Ruin). Neither is a good load in or out. I park the other side of Bristol bridge and walk across as it's easier than trying to drive into town.

    That's great! Caught my daughter playing with my vintage bass yesterday. Was quite proud.
  11. Burns-bass
    I have been very negative about vintage basses here, and I still don't buy that they're all good. But there is something in this one you simply don't get with new ones. I will admit I was wrong.

    Pic from tonight’s gig. Fallen back in love with the old 66-er.
  13. Burns-bass
    Hi Phil, it most certainly is. I was just playing it literally a minute ago. I’m based in Bristol (but just driving to Cheltenham for my first gig of a 3-gig weekend!)
  14. Burns-bass
    Feel free to use the pics. I can attest that this used to be mine. We handed over in person at the height of the pandemic. Its a stupidly good bass.
  15. Burns-bass
    Now £1795. I need this gone. Must be the cheapest one of these out there...
  16. Burns-bass
    Sold a bass on there that wouldn’t sell here. No fees, instant payment and the cash is now in my bank. Well done EBay!
  17. Burns-bass
    We’re not here to make a profit, but to make good music…
  18. Burns-bass
    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
  19. Burns-bass
    Does this come with any sort of case?
  20. Burns-bass
    You didn’t say what you were looking for 🙂
  21. Burns-bass
    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.
  24. Burns-bass
    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.
  25. Burns-bass
    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.
