I don't get the idea of a semi hollow P bass but...black pickguard, no badass @ four hundred pounds [size=4] [/size]

Roland Cube. I gotta learn that song now; every time I hear Rush, I have to listen to it for at least a week afterwards

It's a lovely bass, W&T are one of my favourites Boutique bass builders...but why are relicing them?..that makes no sense.

The Jazzmaster tone is fantastic, nice buy

That's the best sales close I've ever heard.

+1 for the Yamaha SA2000, I would also highly recommend an ESP PC-2V

Solid bit of quality, I'd have a hard time picking between the two!! There's something Patrick Eggle about them, but with much nicer body shapes. Youtube demos are the key to the future!!

[quote name='grapevinebass' timestamp='1363812159' post='2018152'] Fair enough I thought, when I was looking to sell something. Basschat is good, and deserves my financial support. So, using PayPal I paid the annual subscription... Only for it to be reimbursed about half an hour later.... What is this about? Was I just too quick to pay money before you were ready? [/quote] As I've said, I've never sold anything that isn't a bass on BC so it doesn't affect me; why would a 14 year old pay £7-£20 per year to list his Westfield and Behringer. The site's membership was built on the free marketplace. If i'm in the minority that's fine - I won't say anymore about it and leave it there.

1. The site is less user friendly now, than it was when I joined in 2009, the only useful addition being the Upright Bass thread. What is there to change? 2. I can see many sellers opting for gumtree, preloved, youtube, strat talk, music radar etc taking pedals, accessories & beginner instruments out of the community. 3. I think this won't be a problem for dealers and there will be less 'value for money'' basses available - only advantage being, a less crowded marketplace. Welcome Andy Baxter and those present already. 4. A lot of those who join, like me, are referred to the site to sell if they accidentally came into possession of something collectable - upon first impression I would have left and never come back. 5. When I was actively playing bass, I spent 70% of my time on the site in the Marketplace trading/selling & px'ing toys 6. I have never sold anything on the 'Other Musically Related Equipment' section and will now avoid it completely [size=4]Just my two cents, I feel others will be annoyed but too diplomatic to say so. I will still occasionally use the site to recommend luthiers & equipment or review gigs etc. Players (especially younger or hard up) shouldn't be alienated just because they're not a die hard BC'er (we are gear geeks, no two ways about it). I also think the sale of any items section is a completely irrelevant addition. [/size]

You built those!? What's your brand name?? Alesker?

I'd take a black bass over a white one; if I was a black guy i'd say the opposite - not many look cooler than Bill Dickens on a white Conklin

Ya ^^^ I thought we were talking ebony boards too

If it's completely black you can't see what it is, plus it picks up loads of dust, fingerprints and...yeah it's just not funky - just for the death metallers

Couldn't stand watching the bald guy - encouragement of 'expression' faces is wrong, distracts from the music...and makes me wanna bite into my desk

He had an amazing live sound using those
