Happypants

Thanks @Richard R for the links to the online lessons. I'm having some local one-to-one lessons but always welcome any recommendations or content for development. I used to play the Saxophone in another life and worked through the grades so the theory is buried in there somewhere!

Just bought a rather splendid and beautiful BB435 from Johann. Mint condition as described, speedy comms and he facilitated a pain free, socially-distanced collection. Many thanks!

Thanks all. Loving it! Far exceeds my ability so I can't blame the instrument! But I thought everyone loves a good slapper?!

Not vintage but worth checking out the Sire U5.

Been lurking for a while and made a few purchases off the forum so thought it was about time to formally say hello. Promised myself I'd learn guitar this year but that didn't happen for various reasons and then randomly got into watching bass videos on Youtube. Came across a lovely Fender Pro Jazz Bass on here at too good a price to ignore so bought that. Gave my old guitar away (on here). Signed up for bass lessons. Purchased a Sire U5 (on here). Bought some Waza Air headphones. Sold Waza Air headphones. Bought a Blackstar Unity 250 combo. Returned Blackstar combo. Bought a PJB Cub. Bought a Trace Elliot Elf head. Bought a Trace Elliot 2x8 cab (on here) to match the head. Sold the Cub. Is probably evident I don't really know what I want and covid hasn't helped. I now have a jazz bass and short scale PJ with a small-ish amp/cab setup that I think is pretty much spot on for my current needs. Started to explore pedals and effects and was considering a Helix HX Stomp but think that will be complete overkill for my current needs. I've ended up with a Trace Elliot Transit B preamp and Zoom B1 Four for Christmas but have yet to open and try. Also having major GAS for a precision, something MIJ, something Yamaha, something stingray or a mustang - but I should really learn to actually play rather than buy another bass! Fairly eclectic in musical taste but looking at playing mainly funk, disco, pop (gasp) with some slightly heavier stuff such as RHCP and RATM. Currently failing to learn to slap with any consistency. Thanks to all the people I've made purchases from and bothered in PMs for info!

Bought a Sire U5 from John. As described, as-new condition. Extremely well packaged with expeditious communication and shipping updates. Many thanks!

Gone to @PaulThePlug, enjoy! And thanks for the beers, cheers! 👍

Free!

Squier Strat Affinity in red. Serial number CY99089030, crafted in China I purchased this new in late 90's/early 00's. Has been used sporadically since then including being the resident Uni house guitar so has various marks and damage. Main damage is on underside edge where paint has chipped, the rest is mainly dents. Let me know if you want any further photos. Output jack needs looking at as only works when lead is in a particular position. Doesn't work with my Waza Air/Vox amPlug at all. Missing pickup switch cap and tremolo arm. To my knowledge has never had a proper setup, so will likely benefit from some attention. Recently restrung with the intention of fixing but not being used (I can't play guitar for toffee) and need the space for the bass(es). Includes original Squier gigbag it came with. Collection only from Orpington BR6.

I bought a Fender Pro J Bass from Christian. Condition was excellent, as described. I was free to conduct any inspection I wanted and offered the use of his amp to test. He was flexible in accommodating me at short notice and prompt to reply to any correspondence. I would definitely purchase from him again and with complete confidence. Many thanks!
