  1. Just to say, Manny is a great seller! Bought a few bits last week, they arrived the next day. Buy with confidence!
  2. Yeah, I did gather that much! 😂 Love the 2hd though...
  3. bought a pair of AKG K702 Headphones and a Focusrite 2i2, both in excellent condition, both arrived very quickly! Another trustworthy member of the bass basschat community!
  4. Well, they arrived! I'm not sure on what's going on with the labels... E-6, B-5, E-4th, A-3rd, D-2hd (yes, 2hd, not 2nd), G-1st... They 'look' reasonable in terms of how they've been wound and ends wrapped. £6, I mean even if they string a bass for 2 weeks then I'll be impressed!
  5. eBay massively favours the buyer. If you sold the flight case, and he came to inspect, and for whatever reason decided not to buy (or in your case returned 5 minutes later) eBay will absolutely side with him. When being paid by PayPal the buyer has the right to returns even if you state 'no returns'. Same rights as a buyer purchasing from a shop. The plus side here is that he probably thought he got the steal of the century, I mean a flight case with a Markbass 4x10 for £100? THAT is a great deal! His idiocy of not reading the full ad will likely be a lesson learnt for him. You did nothing wrong, he just didn't read the advert. Happens I'm afraid! Maybe take photos without the cab just so no foolish fool can make the same mistake!
  6. Bump. May trade for a high end lap top. Would need to be AT LEAST i7, 16GB RAM, 512 SSD.
  7. I think Mesa just built out cabs from what they have lying around! One of my cabs has a switchable crossover and tweeter dial, the other just has the tweeter dial, plus I can't see in the catalogue any that were with the silver/tan grille, I suspect the silver/tab grille one was perhaps a custom order that didn't come to fruition.
  8. Will report back upon arrival! Expect nothing good! 😂
  9. Once you've successfully sold a bass abroad, that trepidation will pass. I've sold more basses than I remember to those overseas, Mostly to Europe, but some to USA, Brazil, Russia (Russia was a concern as they have a habit of 'losing' large private parcels from the UK). But all have arrived with no issue. If you follow the basic rules (insurance, packaging, money clearing etc) then you'll be fine.
  10. Evening, I'm debating putting together a little home studio and I have no idea really where to start... I don't have much knowledge in this area, and I'd appreciate some guidance on a half-decent (but relatively budget) set up. I am starting from absolute scratch and have a clean slate to start from. What do I need? What's good? I only have a small space to work with so please bear that in mind! Treat me as an absolute newbie. Thanks in advance! Russ.
  11. I have a Hartke... Currently serving as a garden potting table. (Disclaimer: It was utterly beyond any kind or repair! All speakers ruined and the chassis riddled with damp and mould.)
  12. I do have some cheese that needs cutting...
  13. I make sure the bass is broken before sending... that way there's no surprises.
  14. If I had the room for another bass, I would buy this back! Great bass...
  15. 😂 I agree!! I an under absolutely no illusion that these will be terrible, but £6 isn't much of a spend... I'll find a use for them somewhere!
  16. So, I've been trawling eBay to see what 6 string basses are on offer and came across these... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153818811958 £6 for a set of 6 strings for bass... I have no doubt whatsoever that they will very likely be utterly unusable and terrible, but the bargain hunter in me is too curious, I have bought a set and will update once they're delivered. £6... they can't possibly be good, can they?? 🤔
  17. Reckon if you'd post it, it would sell instantly! FYI - If you use ParcelMonkey.com it'll only cost £12 for 48hr post.
  18. You say that but your 6 string Shuker has been for sale for 3 years...
  19. Hope who ever bought it really enjoys it!
  20. @ambient, please tell me you got this! It's a stunning bass and Vic is VERY nice to sell it at the same price I sold it to him for! It is undoubtedly worth more.
  21. Took delivery of a pre-owned Boss RC-3 yesterday, definitely solves the Helix's poor excuse for a looper.
  22. Eurosender. Myself and @Hellzero have sent probably 50+ basses from the UK to Belgium and vice versa. PayPal works, they'll charge a fee though, so work that out with the buyer to ensure you know what you'll actually end up with. International bank transfers work to, you'll need to get your IBAN number, usually available somewhere in your online banking. Again, they'll charge a fee and you need to be sure on what exchange rate your bank is using as they often use their own rates. A hard case is almost essential. Or some EXTREMELY robust packing. Be sure to insure! I've only had one issue and thank god it was insured! Follow your common sense and you'll be fine!
