Why waste a free bump?

I clicked on the Sire, fully lined in the image.

There must be some kind of widget that generates the asterisked fields in forms that won't submit until they are all completed. They are everywhere.

The thing to do would be take the amp out and make a new box for it. That will make the decombo'd ''cab only'' around 13kg lighter for picking up. Get a trolley for moving it A to B.

The real problem is Google used to be able to search terms and only those terms and it would comply. Now it returns advertiser results that kinda sorta fit. Shame.

How hard would it be to implement a set of compulsory fields to each bass for sale? Price, string count, scale length, active/passive would cover the biggest divisions.

Do not underestimate the quality of dispersion. I was playing in a band where the lead guitar and I would often riff off one another. The 'stage' at one pub was just a bit wider and flatter and one time I took the 215 instead of 115 210 tall stack. He's struggling to hear what I am doing because he's on the far side and too wide of the 15's to get the tone, so he's working off bumpity bump bump bump only.

As much as I dislike faceabook it might be the best place for current information. NZ has a national site ''Eventfinder''. I think it mines the internet as well as putting up small local current venue and the promoter gig announcements with ticket sales. Maybe UK has something similar. Everything from the local cat fanciers competition to art, comedy, open mics to pub gigs to big tour shows in stadiums.

Send it back. No fan should be that noisy.

In the case of selling their precious they are appealing to someone with similar preferences. If they are skiiting about it on a forum it's because they are proud of their efforts. Either way they are right. So your complaint comes down to semantics.

Easy solution is avoid reading classifieds for non stock items and don't read forums dedicated to improvements of stock consumer items. 'Poof' no more unnecessary grief over what someone else is doing with their stuff or what they call improving that you don't. Simples.

It's only a modification if it can't be readily put back to stock. Stating as such it is fair warning to the buyer to consider the value to them and potential resale. An upgrade may or may not involve modification. Again the buyer is free to consider the value. It's a major cottage industry swapping pickups. You'll have to come up with a new word that isn't modification or upgrading. 'Swapping' implies like for like with no increase of value, so that's out. Guess what, sellers figured out long ago the best word for it is in fact upgrade.

Something tells me you never held a job in sales.

The shipping could be quoted either way. Ordinarily the shipping cost would be quoted pre tax to make it simple to write X + Y + Z + shipping +VAT And thus account for the sale the same way, rather than messing around zero rating the VAT on the shipping charge.

Isn't that their permanent condition though?

When it is bumped by the poster with no post it becomes UNREAD,unless things were modified in one of the upgrades of late and I missed it.

Talkbass forum is superior in this regard. Basses get listed by the number of strings AND left/right handedness. But no scale length. I guess sellers are mostly happy to put it in the title and buyers with eyes spot them and buy them. I find the weird BC bumping display system far more egregious. Put it back to the top every two days, but don't mark it as UNREAD!!!!

Step 1, back off the bass on the Marshall.

Off the top of my head I don't think my inate pitch would be good for better than a semi tone either side.

Tbf I don't know that American authorities have quite got the hang of revenue generation from sales tax anywhere near like the UK.

It's been well established by measurement already if you bothered to read the thread.

Me, no, bargains like those aren't seen here. Maybe I could find a cheap enough bass that could work but amplification doesn't come cheap.

Because some conspiracy theories hold water, this one is weird?

You are the living proof that auditions cut both ways.
