[quote name='molan' post='264239' date='Aug 17 2008, 10:51 PM']However every sale, bid, offer, declined offer has been with lots of friendly chatter and everyone has been really courteous - something that cannot be said of a lot of Ebay transactions I've been through. I've made some real friends in the process as well. I find the whole for sale section works incredibly well, certainly better than any other forum based sale section that I've come across anyway![/quote] +1 That sums up my view on this completely.. There isn't a 'system' in the world that's perfect, but the one here is pretty good and reflects the character of the Mods and most of the Basschatters who frequent the site; i.e. friendly, open, honest and generally full of good humour!

Is this the one mentioned in BGM last month with Stanley Clarke involved?? Word definitely seems to be that it sounds amazing; it'd be good to hear some sound clips if there's any around? Congrats on fitting it yourself....

Great story and photos - thanks for sharing that with us lesser mortals!! That modified Jazz looks so cool!

'Love Foolosophy' by Jamiroquoi... Awful, awful piece of music, albeit a great bassline! I've never liked JK, the song or any of his other stuff and partly because I'm not good enough and partly because I dislike the song so much, I have never played it well or properly in the 2 years I've been in the band (terrible attitude I know). Fortunately, using a slow and subtle brain-washing tactic on all of the members of the band has meant that we've slowly begun to drop it from our set.. I'm much, much happier now

Very, very nice indeed - well done! And there we were thinking you'd gone mad selling all your other basses... Now we can see why.

[quote name='cetera' post='261704' date='Aug 13 2008, 04:40 PM']Lovely bass..... classic looks![/quote] +1 I really like the control layout...

[quote name='Sibob' post='262054' date='Aug 13 2008, 11:22 PM']I love the white 'Blossom' one! Si[/quote] +1 very distictive looking basses but must admit, I've never heard of them before...

[quote name='chris_b' post='261257' date='Aug 12 2008, 11:22 PM']Why don't you come along to the SE Bass Bash in Guildford, it's not too far from Reading. You can see a lot of amps and cabs up close and talk to their owners. That's if you can wait that long. Details below: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22439&hl=bash"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22439&hl=bash[/url][/quote] Excellent idea! And much better than going to any shop because there'll be more variety and better 'customer service'..

[quote name='wombatboter' post='261025' date='Aug 12 2008, 05:18 PM']I've been playing bass for the last 26 years and I have owned around 85 basses... Last year I had around 29 basses and I realised it was just too much...I started selling and now I have 19 basses...Two years I was an ebay-addict and bought a new bass every month (Sadowsky, 7 Wal basses in one year, Status, etc...). I finally realised that a lot of basses were not used enough and that they deserved to be played.. Now I think I could do with my Fender Marcus Miller, Wal MK I, Lefay Fretless and my Rickenbacker 4001..the others I have are great but I hardly use them (I have a Wal MKII 5 string which I haven't played for more than an hour during the past year, I think that is a shame though)[/quote] In that case, I think it's time I set up the first registered charity for deprived and neglected bass guitars that suffer from a degrading form of the worst kind of social exclusion imaginable... inflicted upon them by greedy and wasteful bass guitar collectors!!! We'll be round in the morning to start 'freeing' up these long-suffering instruments and will work tirelessly to help rehabilitate them back into the community.

Lovely looking bass and I imagine it sounds pretty good too!

[quote name='MB1' post='261028' date='Aug 12 2008, 05:20 PM']MB1. My First proper Bass,possibly 28 years old....older than some Basschatters! [/quote] Very nice bass MB1!! I have an almost identical one (fretless model) sitting right here next to my PC that I bought from pete.young a few months ago and it's a great bass! It came with the original receipt from when Pete first bought it back in 1986 I think... I'm sure Pete won't mind me sharing these photos with you: [attachment=11986:Aria_fretless_1.jpg] [attachment=11987:Aria_fretless_2.jpg] [attachment=11988:Aria_fretless_3.jpg] TBH, it's a much nicer bass than I expected and it's certainly too good for a ham-fisted fretless player like me.. The output from the pick up is really strong and it sounds great, especially for a passive bass!
