Agreed, although Reverb have decent functionality around previous sale prices that can be hit and miss with eBay. Re dealers, the whole game is smoke and mirrors, they indicate a sale price, and then indicate 'sold', so you're led to assume that it sold for the price in question....

What they said ^

Nice 👌

Perhaps slightly better and again cut from standard Precision pickguard but prefer the crude one above TBH.....

Crude version

Basschat Yellow Card mate , one more and it's a Red 🤣 All joking aside, multiple pickups means that when you're at a (new) gig and one or other of them is either sounding shite or feeding back, you have the other, and a decent preamp allows you to balance the contribution of each to the overall sound both in terms of relative volume and tone. At the gig itself, 'high-end preamp' is an important idea in terms of functionality, perhaps less so in terms of tone. I used to use three channels in order of preference 1) Mic 2) Piezo 3) Mag. For sure you can get away with 3) alone unless you're on guts, but 1) alone is always more satisfying and 2) always a little less so

Ha ha, indeed mate. I think the subtext here is the market for these basses being in part generational both emotionally and economically, may be about to peak, or might have already done so 👍

I suspect you’re missing the point of the OP and several other posters 👍
-
Other sellers are available 😆 -
Sold them on here mostly 👍

20 vat reduction for all oversea buyer Eu and world wide!

Plus the (albeit vey small risk) of you being stopped by customs taking it back into the EU and being charged again I'd guess? -
There's also the simple fact that manufacturers such as Sire are producing <£500 instruments that are by all accounts as good as if not better than many vintage basses that can - currently - command >£3k. I've recently got rid of all my vintage instruments, having for a long time preferred to build and work with Fender-alike bitsas that I can chop and change until they're perfect, often again >£500 for a quality instrument. Don't get me wrong, I love the mojo of vintage instruments for sure, but I suspect that in the 2020s the economics of vintage increasingly don't make sense for musicians as distinct from collectors and dealers.

No emails plus no red symbol to indicate PMs for me, there are obvious concerns that the entire basschat marketplace could collapse imminently with potentially dire repercussions for the mental health of bassists and possibly implications for the entire UK economy 🙂

Likewise mate, guess it's an acoustic guitar and this is a bass forum........ -
Hi yes it's still available 👍 -
Ha ha, likewise mate, the problem with this monster is that it even sounds massive unplugged, it has a resonance and - dare I say it - heft, to every note, even unplugged. The neck is such an absolute technical marvel also, I've owned Modulus (Flea, Sonic Hammer), several Status-necked basses, Wals, and a few luthier instruments, and never come across a neck like this. Frankly it's a bummer it's not Fender-fit or it would be hanging off a Precision as we speak..... -
And the lucky winer will also receive......... ....and if you make it past the first 10-mins you're a better man than me

NEVER play a bass once you've decided to sell it........... Numerous small dinks, none really noticable form more than a few feet away but nonetheless there This is the biggest, looks worse in the photo than in the flesh LEDs. And look how far back down that neck the 8ve is Sublime weave 👍 Note in pic below the visible pot (switchable mids) is slightly tempramental. It's improved massively with a bit of professional attention since I first owned the bass but I suspect will need replacing at some stage. Note in pic below one side of the lower batter clip is broken. It all works fine but will also I suspect need replacing at some stage D-Tuner fitted when I bought the bass. Not something I use but seems fully functional

Beautiful -
Looks familiar 👍

New skill unlocked! I can play while asleep.
Beedster replied to mcnach's topic in General Discussion
Yep, it’s happened to me a few times, feels like you’re dreaming that you’re on-stage at a gig, then you wake up and you’re on stage at a gig. In my case they’re micro sleeps of literally milliseconds each time but such is the nature of sleep it can feel like a whole lot longer. Not risky on stage (starting to lose balance will wake you immediately) but f***ing dangerous behind the wheel where you don’t lose balance 😕 -
Nothing to see here @Sean -
Reasonable point well made 👍
