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.

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. -

I think it’s the first time I’ve seen a parrots beak headstock. Could be a game changer 😂

Have just fitted a set of LaBella Mustangs on my classic vibe Mustang and they’re perfect. Really nice tension and silky smooth.

I saw that advertised when I took my daughter to see the Smashing Pumpkins at Gunnersbury on Sunday. I’d love to see Khruangbin but the cost of another trip to the big smoke is too much at the moment 😔

Hi Nathan, great to have you on board 😊

Bought a Squier CV Mustang bass from Lozz - We agreed to meet halfway which meant a nice stop at a service station along the M4. Money and bass was promptly exchanged, the bass was exactly as described then we then proceeded to talk all things bass/gigs/music for over an hour! An absolute gent to deal with 🤩

Bought an MXR Deluxe Chorus pedal from Shaun. The pedal arrived super quick, was well packaged and exactly as described. Great communication as well, he's a top guy to deal with. Really happy with the pedal, it's way more flexible and noise free compared to my old EHX Bass Clone. Cheers Shaun 😁

Dunlop Tortex green triangle .88mm for me, gives a good balance between punch and warmth. I’ll swap to a yellow if I want more clack. It’s amazing how you get used to the different shapes, if I try a normal teardrop shape pick it feels odd now 😂

Sounds like a grounding issue
