Bridgehouse

And here it is inside, after 2 coats of penetrating oil. There’s a sheen building on it now.

Progress has been slow due to family etc. but it’s back on now. 
 

I’ve now put 4 coats of penetrating oil on, and I’m onto the high build oil. Gave the body a rub down with steel wool after the penetrating oil coats.

Here it is after the rub down and before high build oil:

We need you to run a special BC mission to rescue it.

Black was always my favourite colour for Marathons…

I'm assuming this has been corrected as it's on at £500 now. 

 

Zero feedback seller though. So I'd still be wary. 

It had a BIN price of £6.5k as well which has been deleted

I must have missed it. Does that make it OK then?

I don’t know - you tell me. I shall certainly be withdrawing from this now. My reply was a comment on your choice of members to accuse of bullying rather than whether anything is OK or not.

Do you guys realise that turning this into another DOI-style circlew*nk is effectively bullying?

No, it had certainly never occurred to me at all. Perhaps you should hold the moderators to the same level of account as the DoI members, given that at least one has posted a similar vein meme on this thread already. 
 

I think that’s a suitable cue for exit.

I mean, they were alright… but six and a half grand?!

Nope.

Huxley throwing epic dance move (1958)

He’s going to be throwing up if he’s just had his dinner…

It just has to be extra “0” keyboard slippage….

Mushroom teapot  that would be?

 

Mayhap Aldous Huxley could throw some epic moves on the dance floor

I used to live just along the road from Marconi's. Biggest pizza house I've ever seen by miles.

 

They did great chips as well.

I misread it, I thought he was a pasta chef at Macaroni's, before becoming a smooth operator at Marconi's.

Fixed. 

There’s no way things have been fixed. No way.

I think I finally understand. 
 

This thread is about grammar. Go back and check the title - Level 42 before Level42…

It’s clear as daylight now - it is only correct to use “Level 42” and not “Level42”

I blame all of those people doing the Macarena in Denmark.

8 pages in and I've not understood three posts in this whole thread.

 

All three of those were my own.

Oh no, not again.

It’s just wearing a bit thin now - to be honest, if the gear in/out posts are anything to go by I’m actually not that bad…or no more prolific a buyer/seller than others on the page.

 

thing is, there are people using this site only to sell stuff - they literally contribute sweet FA other than selling stuff they’ve sniped on eBay or bought off some granny on Facebook.

 

I’m not naming and shaming or getting into that political nonsense - I’ve seen plenty of it in 12 years on the site and known good folk get rattled about over it and blatant folk seem to get away with it.

 

I’m a bloke who earns money, but also has 4 kids - I can play, I do play, but I can’t spunk a grand on a bass and see if it works out - it has to work pretty much straight away; it has to serve a purpose.

 

Give it another 10 years and I might have more disposable income.

 

interestingly - in 25 years of playing, I’m only on my 5th or 6th amp set up - but I know people have 10 amps, multiple rigs in a room.

 

this isn’t aimed at you at all - it is in response though to the “jokes” and “more serious japes”.

 

I’m not a precious character, but to be fair - if every other post is a pisstake…I don’t really get what I’ve done?

 

Again - not aimed at you.

 

wholeheartedly, without banter - Happy Christmas @Bridgehouse

 

It’s the downside of being a prolific poster mate. I’ve been through phases turning round stuff like you do, and I have to agree - if it’s not working then it’s not working and it’s a lot of money to have sitting around doing sweet FA. 
 

I’d say ignore it mate, but if it’s getting to you then you probably can’t.

You get your hands on some tasty basses mate - for some, it’s probably jealousy.

Already covered it mate…

 

New years resolution, buy and sell gear as suits, don’t post on basschat…don’t face the same comments…

 

Its a bass forum - apparently “The number one website in Europe to buy and sell bass gear…”  - but don’t actually use it for that…obviously 🙄😂

 

Happy Christmas 😉

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh don’t stop posting mate ffs! All I would say is:

- It’s your stuff, you can do what you like with it

- It’s never ever wrong to sell something you aren’t using

- People like me are just joking - I love the fact you try stuff out and move it on if you don’t like it or play it

- Some people are (apparently) serious in their comments. Ignore them.

I’m surprised this thread isn’t in the classif…

oh, right.. yeah. 
 

😃

Second coat now on. 
 

I’ve also put a coat on the neck - which was already sealed by the Danish Oil, and it’s taken on a lustre already.. so that’s hopeful!
