    Do you have the truss rod cover?

    [quote name='spinynorman' post='1139990' date='Feb 24 2011, 02:22 PM']Seems odd that the bass with fewest options seems to be the most versatile ....[/quote] Not sure that you can claim that it is 'the most versatile' but I know what you mean. What tends to happen is that if you have a very simple bass (or even a complicated bass that you keep on one setting) then you learn to play around to find different tones; you'll vary your attack, where you pluck the string, how you damp etc. etc. There is something to be said for having it simple and using your fingers to coax what you want out.

    [quote name='setekh' post='1138961' date='Feb 23 2011, 06:18 PM']Still, it is a matter of opinion, and I don't think we and the forum admins share the same one.[/quote] Correct but I'm not sure why there should be a divergence or conflict!

    [quote name='setekh' post='1138911' date='Feb 23 2011, 05:41 PM']That's true. It is far from a perfect solution. Then again, I can't see any other way, given the current rules.[/quote] Agreed! However, I believe that if members (possibly with X number of posts to their name) were allowed to advertise their auctions via a thread on BCs ebay section then nobody would be any the worse for it, members have the right to choose whether they wished to bid on items or not. It'd take seconds to set up a 'Members Sales' subforum in the ebay section, then if BC members didn't want to trawl through members listings then they could just look in the regular section which is there for us to criticise and pull basses apart that appear on eBay! It's not rocket science to resolve.

    [quote name='setekh' post='1138808' date='Feb 23 2011, 04:52 PM']I would assume you know how roughly much the items are worth (or how much you'd like for them). Is that not enough?[/quote] Possibly but ebay is an auction site, Basschat is not. So having no reserve I take a calculated risk of getting more than what I think it is roughly worth... but it might come up less and a Basschatter gets a bargain! It poses the problem that if I advertise it on here for £100 and it goes to £150 on ebay, I'd be unlikely to sell it to a BCer; however, I could then be accused of running an auction style sale on my sale thread.

    [quote name='Ou7shined' post='1138747' date='Feb 23 2011, 03:56 PM']Now all you need is a mate (from no particular bass guitar conversation type forum in particular ) to spontaneously and completely at random post a link for your auctions in the ebay discussion section. I suggest a title of "Wow [i]'xyz bass gear'[/i] for 99p!!!!" may reap dividends. [/quote] [s]Thanks for the offer. [/s] I mean... NO that would be devious and underhand!

    [quote name='setekh' post='1138716' date='Feb 23 2011, 03:33 PM']You can always circumvent the problem and advertise your gear in the For sale sections with a price in mind and a link to your ebay account. Unless there's an esoteric interpretation of the rules, that seems resonable.[/quote] I've stuck stuff on eBay with no reserve starting at 99p... unfortunately that precludes me from putting it up in the sale section!

    [quote name='Beedster' post='1138681' date='Feb 23 2011, 03:19 PM']... we get to have some listing baiting fun like the old days [/quote] Ahhh the old days! What fun we had policing t'interweb-bay... whatever happened to those days of ripping things apart and uncovering the scammers?

    [quote name='JTUK' post='1138665' date='Feb 23 2011, 03:05 PM']I don't go up on stage for the 'look at me' and glory/adulation factor, never understood that or rather that was always secondary or irrelevant.[/quote] HANG ON! You strut about in a tiny little bikini and you say don't go up on stage for the glory or adulation! You've got to be having a kin laug... Oh hang on, the young lady in your avatar isn't you is it!

    [quote name='tauzero' post='1138550' date='Feb 23 2011, 01:44 PM']So I reported two of them and was told thatn they were in the right place because they were for Ebay auctions. Can the mods please sort out WTF Ebay links are for, because it's certainly not what the subtitle says it's for.[/quote] I'd like this clarified as I've ran ebay auctions of my gear recently and due to the statement that it wasn't for members to advertise their auctions, I haven't put threads up! Seems a bit of a farce if new members come on and do it with impunity and in some cases actually have mods move their ebay auction threads from other parts of the site to the ebay section, yet a long standing member abides by the rules. If it is a free for all and we can advertise our ebay auctions without fear of a slap on the wrist then I'd like to know for next time.

    He's offering a full refund if not happy!

    Is it not worth putting the parts together Dave and selling as a whole? Is there too much missing to complete?

    Looping

    [quote name='TomTFS' post='1138486' date='Feb 23 2011, 01:06 PM']The whole 'main riff' is looping on DL4's. Watch the guy's feet with the gold guitar.[/quote] Not a band I've encountered but quite like that, cheers!

    Bargain price!

    [quote name='Pete Academy' post='1136181' date='Feb 21 2011, 08:29 PM']The question is: what if you never got paid again? Would you just play for the sheer enjoyment? Would your band still enjoy the gigs, knowing there was no payment for them?[/quote] If 'hypothetically' there was no payment for ANY gig and I'd never get recompense for my equipment and its upkeep (inc thousands of pounds worth of PA and lights) or travel (long distances), then I'd play for free... but only down at my local boozer for Buskers Nights etc.

    Lush bass mate. I've had a (cough) 'couple' over the years and the earlier basses tended to be lush bits of timber.

    [quote name='Machines' post='1135789' date='Feb 21 2011, 05:10 PM']How many of these threads have you reported ? Using this function will alert moderators to any offending posts.[/quote] Not being funny but does that mean that Mods want members to grass up any offending threads? Sorry if 'grass up' seems a bit melodramatic! To do this is there a button to hit to report those members flogging their eBay items and is that really what you want members doing?

    As well as the band there'll be a Disco and various prize winning draws and raffles; your £3 entry fee gets you a free entry into a prize draw. All proceeds to go to Cleaswell Hill Special School (band, disco etc. all preforming gratis). If you are local to the area, why not get out and see a live band knowing that you are also supporting a local Special School. An idea of the sort of stuff we do (set lists from last nights gig)... SET 1 ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES SHE LOVES MY AUTOMOBILE BRILLIANT DISGUISE BACK TO YOU SATURDAY NIGHT ALABAMA DONT GO TAKE IT EASY PINK HOUSES ALREADY GONE FIRE DOWN BELOW THAT SMELL SET 2 WHATS YOUR NAME LISTEN TO THE MUSIC ITS SO HARD MONA LISA SMILED DEAD FLOWERS GIMME 3 STEPS THEY CALL ME THE BREEZE HUNGRY HEART FEVER AINT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU SELL ALOT OF BEER TUSH PINK CADILLAC

    Cracking gig last night and despite doom and gloom from the landlord, there was a reasonable turnout; hopefully back there very soon as it was an appreciative audience.

    [quote name='Jigster' post='1133119' date='Feb 19 2011, 10:06 AM']others will probs give you a more defined answer, but the basses Crafted in Japan (CIJ) were made almost exclusively for the Japanese market and considered to be better quality than those Made in Japan (MIJ) which, although still excellent machines, were made for export.[/quote] [quote name='karlfer' post='1133598' date='Feb 19 2011, 05:07 PM']I was under the impression that the change was due to a different factory being given the task of producing them. Seem to remember it changed about mid-nineties.[/quote] ... and I was under the impression that the CIJ/MIJ was simply a change in title made in a particular year; in other words (and I may have this the wrong way round) you will never see a CIJ after a given year (say 95 for convenience), likewise you'll not find a MIJ pre this same date!

    [quote name='Soliloquy' post='1134310' date='Feb 20 2011, 01:53 PM']Use Fedex, certain days are cheaper than others. Best to get it collected on a Friday for delivery on a Tuesday. I've bought two Acme cabs from the US in the last four months, one a weighty B2 and recently a B1, I paid about $150 for the B2, and $120 for the B1. Another good thing about Fedex is they bill you later for the import duty and VAT.[/quote] Tried what you suggested and Fed-Ex were $600!
