Lobbing a bit more into the fund off the back of a small sale. 👍

This is the exact spec of Rickenbacker I'd want if I wanted a Rickenbacker, which I kind of do, but also don't... I've always wanted one in this spec for many years but know that I'd never really play it as I'm firmly a 6 string bass man. Absolutely lovely though... If I had the spare funds I'd buy it just to scratch the itch!

Hi all, £70 Price is obviously for all 3! Close offers considered as I'd like these gone. Buy them to flip, to keep, to burn... the choice is yours! I have way too many guitars at the moment, so I'm looking to get rid of these three acoustics fairly quickly to make space for yet another guitar I've 'accidentally' bought! One is a 6 string Hohner - I think late 80s, generally good condition, plays well, it's been in my son's playroom for the last year or so - I've used it to play to him without worrying too much about him damaging it (which he hasn't!) One is a 6 string Clarissa round back from 1974 (I think!). Again, it's in overall good condition. Action is definitely a little high towards the dusty end and although it is an Electro-Acousitc, the pick-up currently doesn't work so its just been used as a standard acoustic. The last is a 1970's 12 string 'Hummingbird' type acoustic, it looks lovely (from a distance!) and plays ok when playing chords around the first 4 or 5 frets, but the action down the neck is high. Needs a little work and does have a few zings here and there. All in, there's 3 'vintage' acoustics here, all quite interesting and 2 quite uncommon. I'm not expecting the world for these as I'd like them to go quickly. Cash/bank transfer/Paypal on collection from Wickford, Essex only! I didn't want to put it in the title as it might appear that I'm trying to use a good cause as leverage a sale, but I'll be donating 50% of the sale price to the fund @Clarky got going in the other thread. FYI these have been advertised elsewhere prior to this ad going up for the same price without any mention of a donation (though if they sell elsewhere I'll still make the same 50% of the sale price donation). Russ.

I'm genuinely going to Manchester from Essex tomorrow, can we do it then instead? 😄

This is when we find out that @Clarky is now on his way to Mexico with the dosh to start his new life with the funds! Well played Clarky, well played... 😄

I reckon run it till at least close of play tomorrow.

19 hours and done... incredible effort team!

I'd say share a photo of yourself in the wet room once it's done but that could be a tad risky... 🤔

8% left to go! Genuinely been enjoying watching this tick up during the day... Poised to raise a glass when it hits 100%!

56% in 14 hours... could have this all wrapped up by breakfast tomorrow! Go team BassChat!

We'll all be coming round for a turn in that wet room once it's done!

Lobbed in a little addition, nothing groundbreaking but very happy to contribute to a very worthy cause!

I believe the correct term for two thunderbirds is a 'storm' of Thunderbirds. Do you not want to create a storm...?

Hi, Selling a few bits, just for the chop is this rather stunning Crafter BA600EQ electro-acoustic bass. It's in excellent condition, very few marks anywhere. Sounds spot on with a nice low action with all electronics working as they should. The birdseye maple top is rather striking, as is the back! I don't have anything sensible to post this in so it's collection only from Essex unless you want to take all the risk in posting! Any questions, please ask. Russ.

Hi all, Got a few bits to shift that are surplus to requirements! Up on the chopping block is this lovely Epiphone Thunderbird. It's the bolt on version, it sounds as a Thunderbird should, great condition, very low action currently, bridge and truss are adjustable to your own preference. If you have extremely sharp eyes, you'll note that the jack input is missing the nut, I've already bought a replacement so it will come complete with nut! Everything works as it should, hardly a mark on it. £200 collected from Essex. I don't have anything sensible to post it in, so unless you want to take a risk on postage, it's currently collection only! Any questions, please ask. Russ.

Ramp jumping sounds infinitely more exciting than twanging away on a glorified stick with strings! She made the right choice... 👍
