Brian bought a preamp valve off me - A great guy to deal with, highly recommended ☺️

I can still recollect that lovely Trace smell thinking about the 3 amps I've had over the years. Top quality gear indeed.

Flipping basses for profit – fair game or not cool?
Bassybert replied to Allaboutthebass's topic in General Discussion
It’s definitely something that’s left a sour taste in my mouth personally. There was a bass on here a while back that was literally my teenage daughter’s dream bass. She’s into classic 80s rock and metal played with black pointy gear and started playing a while back now (With no input from me I should add as that’s super uncool. I’m super proud but trying to remain nonchalant about it as is the teenage way😂). It popped up at a really good price, needing a couple of fairly easy and inexpensive repairs but unfortunately sold pretty much straight away and turned round very quickly for a huge increase. I’m not naive enough to think everything in this world is a bed of roses, and from my limited experience of dealing with buying/selling on Basschat, people have been very nice, with great prices that are almost a ‘mates rates’ kind of deal. Just wish I’d spotted it a bit earlier and got in first. I’m sure some people are pressing refresh on the classifieds pages on a minute by minute basis the way some things get snapped up round here 😂 -
Have some unused valves knocking around that aren't going to get used. They were purchased a while back as spares for the Fender Tweed Deluxe kit I built. I have tested them this morning in my amp and all are working fine with no noises of any kind. The EHX preamp valves are 1 x 12AX7 and 1 x 12AY7 - one has the original box the other one doesn't for some reason, but both are unused and have been sat in my drawer. The 12AX7 is now sold Looking for £12 posted for the 12AY7 please. The rectifier valves are 2 x NOS Brimar 5Y3GT and 1 x NOS Pinnacle 5Z4GT - The Pinnacle can be used as drop in replacements for a 5Y3GT. I bought all of these as New Old Stock and they come with the original boxes but do have signs of wear on the cardboard. The Brimar valves have a corrugated cardboard and tissue paper protective cover that come with age appropriate smell 😂 Looking for £15 each posted please. Happy to arrange local meet-up with price adjustment if needed. -

Oooh I’ll take this if it’s still available please -
Maybe you should go and see some different bands 😂

That's a quality setup right there 😍

I’ll take this please @ash if it’s still available. I’ve got a Basschat 8 cabinet that @Phil Starr made for me that needs building 😀 -
If he was, it would only have been because he was trying to sell something 😂

Feasibility of setting up a custom build business. Interest?
Bassybert replied to NancyJohnson's topic in General Discussion
To add to the other comments here, you’ll also need your product details/photography on point to give you the best possible chance of getting a sale. I know from personal experience when looking at bitsa builds, if someone’s got crappy photos I’m out as I don’t have anything else to go on, no historic reputation etc to know I’m getting value for my money Just my 2 pence worth. -
