  1. 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 😀
  2. If he was, it would only have been because he was trying to sell something 😂
  3. 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.
  4. Welcome to the forum @hedgepigbass 😊 Where in Somerset are you? There’s a few of us yokels on here!
  5. I think it’s the first time I’ve seen a parrots beak headstock. Could be a game changer 😂
  6. Have just fitted a set of LaBella Mustangs on my classic vibe Mustang and they’re perfect. Really nice tension and silky smooth.
  7. 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 😔
  8. Hi Nathan, great to have you on board 😊
  9. 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 🤩
  10. 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 😁
  11. 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 😂
  12. Sounds like a grounding issue
  13. Stevie Wonder in Cardiff on 9th July then Neil Young with Cat Stevens at Hyde Park on 11th, then Smashing Pumpkins with my 15yo daughter in London on 10th August. Took her to watch Guns and Roses at Villa Park last week as well which she really enjoyed, and I also saw Mike Watt with MSSV a couple of weeks ago in Bristol. Pipe that live music right into my veins 😂
  14. Thanks Mark, certainly is a whole lot of amp for the money. Flexible eq and enough power for most of the gigs anyone's likely to play.
  15. I bought a used one recently off the forum to fit on my precision and it’s great. I had to lower the relief and the nut slots needed some fettling but the profile is great and the fretwork was fine. I only needed to give the truss rod about a quarter turn but it was smooth and felt reassuringly solid. Hope that helps
  16. Bought a precision neck off Pete, he was a thoroughly nice chap with great communication. The neck was very well packaged, and arrived exactly as described. A top Basschatter ☺️
  17. Bobby bought my Squier Classic Vibe P bass pickup. He was super easy to deal with, great communication and seems like a real gent ☺️
  18. Was at Exchange in Bristol last night to see MSSV, the experimental noise rock band with the four string legend that is Mike Watt! They were supported by local band Omega Institute, who played some interesting tunes with a jazzy, ambient feel, improv kind of stuff. MSSV were great. Mike Bagetta's guitar tones were awesome, real gnarly and cutting and drummer Stephen Hodges (who's played a fair bit with Tom Waits) was super tight. Watt was using a crutch whilst watching the support act and sat down for the whole gig which was a shame as I was looking forward to seeing him gurning and bopping away as normal, but more importantly I hope he makes a speedy recovery from whatever's happened. Playing quite understated stuff, he was using a beautiful green Reverend signature into an Aguilar head and a Barefaced cab. His tone was really mid heavy and he was really pushing the input of that amp, a lot of it sounded like a fart and I could see the clipping light flashing away like a strobe 🤣 They played for about and hour and 20 whereby they literally started unplugging kit and packing away within seconds of the last song 😂 Thoroughly enjoyed it!
  19. I'm selling this lovely Squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazz as my P Bass does everything I need. This is one of the original made in China basses, made in 2012. The quality is fantastic, with a rosewood board, high mass brass saddles and decent tuners it's definitely a step up from the current Made in Indonesia models. The wood grain on the neck is really nice. Truss rod is fine and all hardware is working as normal. It's in great condition apart from one small ding on the forearm - This could be easily repaired/covered with paint if required but I wanted to leave it. Frets are in really good condition, I've given the board a fresh coat of lemon oil and it has a new set of EB Slinky 105-55s on it. 38mm nut width with a lovely slim neck and weighs a comfortable 4.2kg/9lb 5oz. Looking for £300 - These basses are definitely starting to gain a bit of a cult following due to the quality. Any question please ask.
  20. That looks fabulous, such a classic 70s colour combination. GLWTS
