  1. These have now gone up to £85 on Pinegrove's website. I will now sell for £45 to include courier. Like I said, very keep to get a much thinner and shorter strap from Pinegrove but got to sell this one first. Robbie
  2. Sorry, haven’t been on here for a while. Still eager to get rid of this beautiful strap and buy a much smaller Pinegrove leather one- it’s far too big for my tiny little acoustic guitar! Robbie
  3. OK thanks, I'm torn because I tried out a similar amp today in a music shop (a similar spec'ed Blackstar) and got a feeling that I need something with a bit more grunt than either the blackstar or this Boss. I will have a think. Robbie
  4. Hi there, is this still available? Would you consider shipping? Thanks Robbie
  5. Sorry, it is their longest one, 112 to 152cm, 44" to 60" Robbie
  6. I bought this fairly recently for use with my acoustic guitar. However, I mostly play sitting down, and this strap is too wide for me anyway. Would much better suit a bass- its nice and wide and padded. Pinegrove make superb straps, and this was the prototype of a range they call the cutaway. The coloured bit is rather lovely material braid. Anyway, £50 to include postage- brand new price is £75
  7. Seems to me GAK acted very quickly to rectify things. Not sure it’s then fair to put up your one sided view on a public forum like this. Just my thoughts.
  8. Firstly the background: last weekend I was scammed I bought a used Technics SLps670d CD player from someone in Bournemouth off Facebook. Paid by PayPal friends and family. Silly I know. Anyway, as he handed me the CD player in a pub car park and sped off I heard a slight rattle as I put the player in the bag I had brought. Got it home and it worked fine for several hours constant playing. Next morning it started developing an intermittent fault where it would suddenly stop playback after 6 or 7 tracks then show a ‘no disc’ error. It does this all the time now Messaging the bloke he was pretty obnoxious saying I must have knocked it and refusing any responsibility. I opened up the unit to find a tiny piece of plastic floating around. Also when having a closer look at the drive mechanism the spindle on which the cd sits looks pretty ropy and distorted. The CD also wobbles as it spins. Tried a cd lens cleaner, no joy. So, have looked into how much a new lens and transport mechanism is. About £30 to £40 on eBay. Not too bad, but am I throwing good money after bad? How easy it is to replace anyway? Tbh I’m thinking of just writing it off or selling it on eBay for parts- there is a couple of nice pioneer CD players on eBay that interest me for around the £30 to £40 mark anyway. Robbie
  9. Many of my guitar playing friends have acrylic nails which they get done at their local nail bar. Ive always used my own natural nails, but don’t actually have them too long (not as long as a classical guitarist anyway).
  10. Oh the irony. I sold my AER amplifier on Reverb at the weekend. Bit of a surprise as it had sat on there for a couple of months now. I accepted a lower offer, but at least this time the money seems to have come through without any significant delay. Sold it for £490 and am receiving £459.37. I still think that’s too high a commission fee. Strangely ,y they seem to have initiated payment before the buyer has got the item, but I think this time it was because I inputted the shipping info and tracking number. When I sold my guitar it was pickup, and I think that’s what created the delay because the buyer messed up telling reverb that he had actually received the guitar. Beware! Anyway roll on to this afternoon when I have just received an email to say that their selling fee is going up to 5% on 4th August 😡. Wonder how they will rate compared to eBay now? Robbie
  11. I have recently moved my acoustic bass on, but in doing so I had to buy a hard case in which to ship it. Thus I now have the following redundant case. It was bought at the time my bass was made, so about 4 years ago. Its not seen a lot of action, but has been on trains, rehearsals and to a couple of gigs. One of the zips has broken on the front storage sections, and the material is wearing a bit thin where the velcro on the securing flap has come into contact (please see attached photos). Other than that it is in excellent condition. It is actually a better case than the hard case I had to buy. It is totally bomb proof. My huge Brook bass (Gibson J200 body size) fitted extremely well in here. I suspect it would be ideal for things like the bigger Guild and Tacoma acoustic basses. I loved the fact that it has straps so you can wear it on your back (so long as you remember that your height is now well over 6 foot 6 when walking through doors!) Price is negotiable. I suspect I will never have another acoustic bass again, so it really must go. I have no box for it, but seeing as there will be no bass inside I will ship by encasing in a load of bubble wrap and bin bags if that's OK. Otherwise local pickup (or meetup anywhere between Bournemouth and Southampton) would be great. Postage would have to be added extra. Thanks for looking Robbie p.s please forgive the rather ugly Orla Kiely wallpaper- it came with the rented property. I hate it, but apparently its quite trendy (and expensive!)
  12. Might be worth having a look at this new model from B&G guitars. They have two levels of guitars, the more expensive ones are hand built in Israel. They then have a far eastern version, and this bass is the newest addition. They should be orderable from The North American Guitar in the uk
  13. No, but if any seller is anything like me I would want to factor in the fees in the selling price. My advice would be if you see anything being sold by a shop on there phone the shop direct. It may cost you the same money, but at least the shop won’t have the fees to pay. Some shops put brand new stuff up there, such as Project Music in Exeter.
