    If you’re a self employed musician it’s highly likely you’ll fall under the trading allowance threshold. If you do declare yourself as a musician on insurance, you can claim back a proportion of that as an expense. Personally, I’ve never declared to my car insurer that I play music, in the same way I don’t tell them that im a serious cyclist, love running or am a stone overweight, because it’s nkt relevant. https://www.litrg.org.uk/latest-news/news/211202-are-you-using-trading-allowance-correctly

    Selling my Martin Drednought Junior. This little beauty was made in Mexico and has recently been set up by the amazing Simon at SiCo setups. The guitar is in excellent condition with a barely noticeable scuff mark on the top. Comes with the Martin soft case, also in excellent condition. I can’t and won’t post this so it’s collection and a cuppa in Bristol. £399 takes it away, and I’ll be sad to see it go but I now have a handmade Kinkade guitar that blows all my others out the water.

    This has been sold now. Will update!

    These basses are exceptional in every way. I found the quality for the price was superb and everyone who saw it loved it. I replaced my sunburst one with a red one and it’s a beauty.

    I always forget something…

    Bank holiday clearout begins… Here is a good copy of the Beatles Complete scores. This has literally everything they ever recorded for guitar, bass, drums and more. There’s a seam split that has been crudely but effectively fixed. See pics! £30 delivered sound fair? Second is the Beatles bass tab and sheet book for Greatest Hits volume 1 £10 delivered More stuff to be added through the day…

    Why? When I was 16 I was in a terrible covers band, then I got better. If someone is having a crack you beat them down or help them up. Your choice…

    £45 for the Eugene Cruft book £10 for Simandl £7 for the DB exercises book

    I’d recommend a £200 Squier VM Jazz fretless or a Sire fretless. You can play it and enjoy learning safe in the knowledge that if it doesn’t work out you’d get every penny of your money back.

    To 99.9% of people every bass sounds the same. If you like it, that’s all good but none of it matters. I showed my dad my 66 candy apple red jazz bass with the matching headstock and he said “that looks knackered, my mate can re spray it”

    The BassBros guys are good people.

    I wouldn’t go near that. No guarantees the body is original, even if it is it could be filled on. The changed hardware rings alarm bells too. Reckon that’s about £2k at best as most vintage dealers wouldn’t touch it.

    The fact he’d deliver is a good sign, so he’s probably confident in what it has. It’s always the issue buying through a private sale from someone who is obviously not an expert. You see the same bass for sale at Andy Baxter and assume that’s the price you’ll get. Happens with any collectible.

    I spoke to the chap and he has a firm price in mind. Im not suggesting head involved in nefarious practices, it’s highly likely idiots bid then try to renegotiate. I advised him the price he wanted was far too high and level with that of a London dealer and he’d probably get half in a private sale. Seems I was broadly right.

    Can do this a bit cheaper as it’s the cause of some marital strife
  17. Burns-bass
    Any offer on the offers?
  18. Burns-bass
    No worries.

    I believe you’re right, the rollers seem fixed. You can check out the info from Babicz here and see if it answers your questions. https://www.fullcontacthardware.com/fch-rickenbacker-bass-bridge

    £6k is more than a dealer would pay. Given the swapped tuner, lack of a case and covers and the poor condition mean he’s done really well.
  22. Burns-bass
    A lot of money for what it is…
  23. Burns-bass
    He labours the point, but it’s a point worth making.

    These are exceptional amps that are the best on the market in my opinion. I only sold mine as I needed something bigger for gigs.
  25. Burns-bass
    Yeah, they’re a hell of a band. Feels more authentic than the jazz-funk-lite of Cory Wong and those guys.
