    Offers? I need this gone…

    Appreciate your kind words. I’ve updated this now as the other thread has all my books currently for sale. Assume that was why this was resurrected.

    Says the owner of one of my many wacky purchases! 2024 is the year of being sensible. Let’s see how long it lasts…

    Absolutely incredible. Far beyond me in terms of budget (just bought a 335) and skill, but one day…

    I’m a member of the Fretboard and someone there (with a long history of buying and selling) advertised a couple of guitars at competitive prices. Unfortunately, it was a scam and the guys have lost their cash. Seems his account was compromised and the seller an imposter. This isn’t to gloat or point out how silly or reckless they’ve been, rather a warning I guess to do your due diligence and if possible meet and pay in person. Heres hoping there’s a positive outcome there, but it doesn’t look good. https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/259189/1989-gibson-les-paul-standard-candy-apple-red-sold/p1

    And it’s entirely my fault for bringing it up so for that I apologise.

    We’ve had this conversation Ad Infiniti’s and it’s always a circular one. Opinions differ and at the end of the day it’s all just wood, plastic and metal bolted together.
  8. Burns-bass
    100% this. Cup of coffee and an honest chat.

    Without wishing to start WW3, the quality of wood, components, and finish of the USA basses is higher. (But I still love Mexican basses!)

    Here’s my Ibanez guitar in excellent condition. Recently set up with new strings it’s a great guitar! This isn’t one of the cheap Gio guitars, but a giggable guitar, it’s barely been played and still has the plastic on some of the parts. Missing the switch tip and tremolo arm. These are £250 new. Recently restrung and ready to go. I’ve set up the tremolo so it’s intonated correctly and functions perfectly. £85 for Basschat!

    Ok, how about £99 delivered? This is an amazing bass at the price. Ok, it’s not as fashionable as other brands but it’s just about fantastic.

    The only thing I’d say is that I bought a bass like this once and I could never trust it. I always assumed it would break at some point. It never did, but I still sold it.
  14. Burns-bass
    I agree this would sort the issue, but you need to consider why it’s happening. These are expensive basses and are fairly new, so it’s either a lack of care or something worse, Either way, I’d save the cash and time driving hundreds of miles and find one on here that’s fine.
  15. Burns-bass
    Offers?
  16. Burns-bass
    I’ve added straplocks and new Rotos. Will post for £15. This is a super bargain!
  17. Burns-bass
    Now £40 delivered. Need the space!

    If I’m being paid (which is why I gig most of the time) I’ll have two of everything. Two basses, amps, a selection of leads, spare strings, power cables, and a load of spares that may be needed. Having had some spectacular gear fails, it’s not something I enjoyed and don’t want to happen again.

    I tried one of these basses and it was really excellent. The only thing I’d upgrade are the tuners but overall it’s a top notch bass.
  20. Burns-bass
    I’ve had both. The HB is a nice guitar, but the SX is a much better instrument. The binding and inlays are excellent and the wood high quality. Overall, it sounds better. €240 is a good price if it’s new. Personally, I’d go for the SX and if you need to upgrade the pickups then do it. Hope you find the bass you love!
  21. Burns-bass
    It’s perfect for DB (as well as ukelele!)
  22. Burns-bass
    This is a cool and super portable preamp I used for my EUB. Bought from the legend that is Chris, and its now up for sale as the EUB has gone and I use a Stanley Clarke for DB gigs. I paid £55 which is a significant saving on the “street price” but it’s up for the same. Personally, I preferred this to the Fishman. Specs here: The Gigpro is an all discrete Class A single channel belt clip acoustic Preamp that eliminates the need for on board active electronics on your prized instrument. Much like any great stage work tool, it makes any acoustic Pickup sound better and provides fingertip control right at your side. The Gigpro features: Adjustable Gain Passive 2-band EQ bass trim control (especially helpful when working with multiple ukuleles) phase inversion 9V Phantom Power Runs on a single 9V Battery

    Don’t think the original post was begging for a bass. We’re part of a community and are happy to help. it’s sort of what (virtual) friends do.
  24. Burns-bass
    Tis’ the season of goodwill to all people! Seems we’ve got this sorted. My Gio is here is that’s required. Inspired by this I’ll do another giveaway later when I see what stuff I have at home.
  25. Burns-bass
    I’m in the Forest of Dean tomorrow if you can get there to collect one. Long term loan, it’s a beauty.
