    Gar feedback

    I did a textbook trade with Gareth today after some prompt and clear comms. He took my Sterling Ray 5 and I left with a Genzler cab. It was great to meet him and chat about bass playing, gear and band shenanigans too. Don’t hesitate to deal with him.
  2. I've had this bass uke for a few years now but it never gets used so time to find it a new home. It has an excellent B-Band pick-up (same brand I use on my double bass) and comes with a strap and gig bag. The strings are original but have less than 15 hours of playing time on them. These sell for £125 new. Collection from Kinver near Stourbridge or shipping at the buyer's expense. No trades thanks. You can find my feedback here:
  3. This Sterling by Music Man Ray 35H was bought as a spare to my Stingray Special 5 last year. However, a change of band means I only play a P bass these days so this is no longer needed. I have never gigged with it and it's lived in its Sterling gig bag in my smoke-free house ever since. There is one small scratch that the previous owner did on the lower horn & scratchplate. I've used his photos and you'll see it on there; however, IRL it's hardly visible unless you look get close. Weight is 3.99kg per the previous owners photo and that feels right to me. It wears the rounds it came to me with. I think it's a really good looking bass, in a traditional way, with the dark sunburst finish and roasted maple neck. New, these seem to go for over £1,200 at the usual UK retailers. Happy to meet within a reasonable distance of Stourbridge if that helps. Shipping would be possible at the buyer's expense. As for trades, I'm not really looking for more bass guitars but, if you have something 34" and less than 8.7lbs, try me. I'm more likely to be tempted by a good lightweight 1x12 cab or an amp. My feedback thread is below:
  4. Yes, it has side dots including a double dot at the octave. Thanks to @pete.young and @Clarky for your helpful comments.
  5. @pete.young ....and if the journey over to me seems daunting, I'll happily meet you in Cambridge where I have family.
  6. Thanks Jack, hope you're well. It's a fine bass indeed, just no longer needed following my relocation and new band requirements. I can't believe no-one has been interested at this bargain price. I plan to drop it into Bass Direct in the next week or two to see if Mark can help move it on.
  7. I bought a gig bag from Michael in a smooth and easy transaction. He held onto it for a few weeks until I had a gig near to him and I was able to collect it from him in person. He’s a good guy with great taste in basses - you can buy from him with confidence.
  8. So sorry @Matthew Canty, thinking of you at this time and remembering my fond memories of your Dad.
  9. I had given this zero thought before seeing this intriguing topic. Having given it some, here's my proposal. Arriving: Ain't no Grave - Cageless Birds & Molly Skaggs Reflection: From Gagarin's Point of View - Esbjörn Svensson Trio Departure: Like a road leading home - Albert King

  12. I’ve just sold a phaser to Jim. It was a textbook deal - Clear comms and prompt payment. He’s a top BC’er!
  13. Have just done a two-parcel purchase off Chris. A courier nightmare then ensued but they were no match for Chris’ tenacity and the items were eventually delivered after I provided video evidence of their lies. Chris went above and beyond to ensure that the couriers did what they’d been paid to do and I’m very grateful for his proactive and persistent approach. The items are exactly what I was looking for, clearly described and very well packed. As others have said, he is top of the top bananas on here. Thanks Chris!!

  15. I've just joined a Fleetwood Mac tribute band so a simple rig is what's needed now. I had about 4 weeks to learn the book before the gig which was fine. I've stripped my pedal board down to a TC tuner and a SansAmp VT DI. I played my Limelight "Pino" all night but took my '89 Ray as a spare. I'm working on getting a bitsa P as my back-up. I used my trusty Little Mark II amp and Barefaced 2x12 cab. I bought a Xvive wireless IEM system to go with my ZS10s and everything worked & sounded great. We have lots of gigs booked & a great drummer so I'm looking forward to treading the boards again after a quiet 2022 & 23.
  16. Chris has just bought my HX Stomp XL in a textbook deal. Good comms & prompt payment. Thanks Chris!
  17. I bought this in January for a band I have since left. I simply don’t need this level of programmability and variety of sounds in my new band so time to let it go. It's got velcro on the back to mount it on a board and comes with the PSU, box and manual. I might consider trades for a nice SVT-alike preamps (Ampeg SGT-DI or Origin?) but nothing else. I won't reset it, so it'll come with some patches the previous owner bought online, 3 or 4 I created and the most recent firmware. Collection from near Stourbridge or I will post within the UK for £10. You can find my feedback here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/77960-feedback-for-ptb
  18. I’ve played upright for many years so buying this seemed the natural thing to do a few years ago. Truth is that I’ve hardly used it except for a few hours at home. It’s never been gigged or out of the house as I simply prefer my DB. It has Spirocores with plenty of life in them and there’s an extra pick-up (a J Tone, per the previous owner) and a useful stand to keep it safe. This deserves to be played so it needs a new owner. Given the size etc, this is collection only but I’m up for traveling a bit to meet halfway if needed.
  19. I bought this great sounding phaser for a band that was doing specific numbers that needed it. I’ve now left that band to join another and it’s no longer needed. It’s in great condition, with the original box. The price is now £65 which includes UK shipping.
  20. I met with Keir to collect the bass I bought from him. The whole thing went as smooth as can be and he's a top fella to deal with and chew the fat with, especially as we both love our MusicMan's. Thanks Keir!
  21. Home now and basses all tucked up for the night. Really enjoyable meeting you all & thanks again to the organisers. The bass highlights for me were @floFC’s Kramer(great front p/up tone & lighter than expected), @SimBass’s Eminence EUB (far superior to my KK) and, at number 1, @emperormingus’s JMJ Mustang with flats ( I want one now!!).
