Was easier when the market wasn’t full of dealers buying up all stock and then rising prices every few months. Or private sellers trying to charge shop prices for their gear. Or “all original apart from a few changed bits” or “as far as I know it’s all original (but I won’t take it apart to prove that).” @GuyR had it nailed.

Simandl and walking bass sold. Will sell the others for £35 delivered. -
£30 delivered -
Will post for £75 in the Uk. -
I had one of these and I really liked it.
-
I saw that. Very helpful if you and I’m sure he’s grateful. I think the price is punch. Quite why people consider it a “custom colour” when it’s a refin is beyond me.
-
Agreed. I’d also never buy a refin without rock solid provenance. It’s easy enough to hide things with a new cost of paint. (It’s conceivable that the body may not be original, either…) Too many unanswered questions for me, but totally understand others are happy with that.

You and about 75% of other buyers.

How do you deal with performance nerves/imposter syndrome
Burns-bass replied to SamIAm's topic in General Discussion
One of your roles is to look at the drummer and make eye contact with others on stage. They’ll be more worried than you and your confidence will help them. Resist the temptation to look down at the fretboard or twiddle your amp. -
This is the problem. I like vintage sounding amps but I don't want it to break up like an old valve amp too soon. I'll stick with what I have (and I have no work so maybe the lack of cash is an influence here!) Thanks all for your comments and views.

I used to have two flightcased Hiwatt DR103s so I’m fully aware of how heavy amps are and can be. The 350 is nice it’s just annoying to carry to my music room in the loft and lug about. I use Barefaced cabs and just fancied a fully lightweight rig. A/B testing sounds like a great idea.
-
Hi David, it’s not suitable for bass. You can run a guitar and a mic through it at the same time. I bought it to use with my busking band in Bristol (trying saying that quickly!). You could probably use it for bass at low levels, but it’s a guitar amp really.
-
Heavily used! Still functions perfectly though. These are ace.
-
You can get a rear battery cover for £8.50 on eBay. I do have another cover (don’t ask) and can include for £5 more if you want it.
-
This is a well used but still fully and fantastic Street Cube. It’s been heavily used busking and playing. There’s no mains adaptor and the rear battery cover has gone. I don’t really want to sell it but I don’t use it much, so here it is. £75 English pounds please! Can send in the UK.

K&K Bassmax Pickup - £85 delivered
Burns-bass replied to Burns-bass's topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
Offers? -
Take them to court. A small claim will cost you about £35 and is worth doing. It shows you’re serious and also that you won’t settle for less. When they settle (which they will) they’ll pay your costs back. I run a small business and have done this several times.

Is this 3/4? -
I have a set of Medium a scale Chromes that are cut for a Mustang bass. I bought these to fit to a 1975 Mustang I bought. The tension was too high and it bowed the neck so I sent the bass back. Alas, I need to keep the strings. Theyve been fitted but never played. Cut for an inline headstock. £35 including delivery!

I gig a fair bit and have a lovely EBS 350 amp in a flight case. It’s solid, sounds amazing and always delivers - but it’s heavy. I take an Elf as a backup but was wondering if the Tonehammer 500 would be as loud and effective. Any experiences to share?
-
Any offers? I’m clearing out and these need to go.
-
I know Tom and the guys in his shop. He’s one of the UK’s leading luthiers and is a truly lovely chap. I have no doubts that this is an amazing bass. Good luck with the sale. -
My aunty (love her) found this and rescued it. It’s a made in Korea Aria Magna series bass. The guitar has been poorly stored and heavily used. I can’t test anything and I don’t know if it works. I’ve been given a estimate to put right but it’s the same price (give it take) as a used one would fetch so offering is here as a project. Thinking around £45 including postage (neck off). If im way off tell me as I have no need of this bass here and would prefer a BC-er brought it back to life if possible. Frets are fine, body is well worn, components have some corrosion, pickup is untested and the split pickup appears to have suffered a foam malfunction! Images below…-

Very true but would affect value, of course:
-
All good. I’ve bought a few bits from them and they’ve always been more than excellent. Perhaps they have fixed this issue. I just wanted to share my experience as it’s a good price for a really lovely bass.
