[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1509620582' post='3400319'] there must be a way round it, can't you just message them via ebay on the pretext of asking a question, and arrange it? I can see why ebay don't want you to do it, people do the deal and the seller just withdraws the item and avoids selling fees, not that I would do anything like that [/quote] There's a pretty solid filter in place that detects any attempt to exchange contact details. I was up against it recently, and in the end I had to upload an image with 'Please call me on xxxxxxxxx'. Apparently image recognition is on the way, and if eBay catch you in the act, they'll come down hard. IMO it all feels a bit desperate. They're losing the plot.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1509619811' post='3400299'] I did not know that. How are you supposed to do cash on collection? It's collection-only. [/quote] Once you've won, you can exchange contact details. But... say you're thinking of bidding a few grand on a 1963 Jazz. Quite sensibly, you'd probably want to visit the seller to take a look at it first. You can't do that any more. It's crazy.

If I lived local, I'd be going to have a look at that.* *Not that it's possible anymore, thanks to eBay's insane new contact rules.

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1509481739' post='3399352'] Sadly David's joined the Ian Anderson/Geddy Lee vocal club - dropping the key a tone wouldn't have done any harm. [/quote] Yeah... I saw him do an acoustic tune on telly t'other day, and he was even struggling with that. Rattle that lock, drop them keys!

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1507641289' post='3386915'] Please just don't mention it to WoT, otherwise you'll just be encouraging him to add further to his 132 posts on his own [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/282884-the-handbox-amplification-thread/"]Handbox thread[/url]! [/quote] I think there's more than that now. I'm just a lone voice in crowd, shouting to be heard

Ah, man.. it's worth spending a couple of quid to watch it legit.

He's SO bloody classy.

[quote name='coffee_king' timestamp='1508930397' post='3395399'] Oh, that is nice. Still sound like quiet a lot money for a MM mind you. I'm not saying I wont consider it though so thanks [/quote] That's how much MIM stuff is these days, unfortunately. FWIW, the new MIM stuff is great.

[quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1508825621' post='3394593'] It amazes me, when you see videos like this, that people are surprised that girls can play instruments to a high level of skill. "Girl street performer slams like a pro"? What about the other player in the vid, or is it just because a girl can play bass? Sorry, I'm not a fan of slap bass, but I'm not a fan of sexism either. [/quote] Rightly or wrongly, it's a more clickable headline.

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1508790366' post='3394497'] Are they playing in E minor? [/quote] No - Santiago, Chile.

Ah, no - I can see them after all. Hardly practical though, is it? She'll get no sympathy from me when it smashes on the floor.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1508523803' post='3392801'] Trace Elliot Elf or GK MB200 - both will fit in your gig bag, or even your back pocket! [/quote] Is it just me, or is she missing a knob or two? Serious question, btw.

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1508420718' post='3392079'] Nice player I have to say. Didn't plug it in - there was a young fella getting his John Mayer on for his obviously affluent parents... Having said that my attention has mostly been in this direction the last few days: [url="http://www.degierguitars.com/soulmate-gallery/"]http://www.degiergui...ulmate-gallery/[/url] Especially here: [url="http://www.degierguitars.com/portfolio-items/soulmate-turquoise-relic/?portfolioCats=20"]http://www.degiergui...ortfolioCats=20[/url] [/quote] They're beautiful. That headstock though... what a shame!

The AG500 is a lovely head. I'm can't help thinking part of its charm is that it has a transformer in it. :-)

[quote name='vinorange' timestamp='1508229250' post='3390585'] I say good on you to those with eagle eyes and willingness to travel to source a bargain.............. [/quote] ...or maybe point and laugh when they drive all the way there to find out it's a scam.

Eeeh.. I remember the days when it were nowt but 10 weeks...

Wow. With it being Thurso I initially thought 'scam'. But he's keen on it being collected, so I guess not.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1507970858' post='3389031'] Me neither. The concept of signature instruments seems nuts to me. Are we to believe we'll be able to play like the 'name' player? I'd buy a sig bass, but only if I liked it. The associated name is irrelevant. For example, I liked the Dee Dee Ramone bass, not because of him, but because it seemed like a nice bass... [/quote] Great instruments like the TF and the Roscoe Beck wouldn't exist without the association of the named players.
