    No problem! Just personal curiosity. I wonder if W&T would consider maybe fitting the electronics outside of the metalwork and perhaps using small high strength magnets under the top wood to affix the scratch plate and metalwork. This would then give the option for the bass to look as it is, or for these pieces to be removed with no visible holes in the wood... then all parties could be catered for! Just thinking out loud!

    I really do rate W&T basses, they are exceptionally well built and sound fantastic, I am sure this bass is no exception! But I must say, to my eye, the look of this bass is too 'complex'. For me, the bass would look infinitely better without the metal and plastic bolted to the body which seems to have no function other than to create aesthetics which I think will very much divide people! Does the clear plastic piece and two pieces of metal come off? If so, would you be able to take a photo without them? I am curious to see the bass is a more natural state!

    I'm pretty sure he lost credibility with anyone credible! The man was an absolute joke and I would never touch one of his basses again on principle. I have NEVER seen someone in so much denial as Jon. A proper fool.

    Rocktron Cyborg Reverb. Best reverb pedal hands down, I've owned many and this one nails it. Hard to find, but reasonably cheap if you do find one. Only sold mine as I'm now using a Helix.

    I also had one... the very same as @Hellzero. Very capable amps, better tone that you might expect from a Bugera. If you're after power for pennies on the pound, this really is the only option!

    Hi all, Need to raise a few funds after completing the infinity+1 deal done with @Hellzero! This is a rather nice Harley Benton CST-24HB hollow body electric guitar, brand new strings, lovely action, it plays superbly and the build quality is really very good indeed. It is in excellent condition, one of the tuners has the rear gear cap missing but this has zero impact on anything, just the cap that covers the closed gear! The best £125 guitar you'll ever buy! Collection from Basildon, Essex under strict social distancing rules. Alternatively I can post, but this must be at your risk as I don't have a hard case and will need to cobble something together! (+£15 for postage). Pictures below:

    Imagine the cables that hold up the Golden Gate Bridge, same company made these strings, only thicker!

    I think it may now be on it's way to me! 😂

    One day this will end up safely in my collection where it belongs!

    Not a bad price for one of these... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193431376522

    A curious beast...

    Hi all, I'm moving on my Boss Katana 50w guitar amp as I have a Roland Cube 60w and neither see much use but the Roland stays as it's 10w more powerful and that was pretty much the only deciding factor in which I wanted to keep! The Katana is a great beast, loads of tone and effects options. This one is in pretty much pristine condition and will come with the USB lead, kettle lead and even the 1/8 to 1/4 inch jack converter. No box though! Best price online I can see is £219, some places are north of £250, so I'm putting the value at £150 considering you'd be hard pressed to tell it's not new! I'm open to trades, anything of equal value may be of interest, particularly basses, guitars etc. Try me, I can only say no! Picture below. I'm based in Basildon, Essex and I can post, or you can collect (at your risk). If you choose to collect, it will be done with strict social distancing measures in place, don't be offended by not being allowed past the driveway!!!

    @Jimelliottbassist You're looking for one of these aren't you?
  14. binky_bass
    Even £1000 is too much. £800 is a fair price on a Bongo 6 if you dont want to loose money when/if you move it on.

    Your cat is a spy and works for me. So there.

    @Hellzero is the confusion! A permanent unrelenting source of confusion!

    D'Orazio is the name of the company that make the MarkBass strings. I've been using D'Orazio strings for some time (largely because I bought 26 sets of 6 string bass strings for £200 a while ago). They are perfectly reasonable strings, not quite Elixir standard, but very useable.

    Bongo price seems average at best. I had a Bongo 6 almost exactly the same as this one, I paid £740 for it and sold it a year or so later for £800. To me anything north of £1000 for a Bongo is too much!

    Ahh yes, the Selsam Tarantula. Loved this since the 1st day I started playing bass!

    By the decree of the wife, this one wins. @Bassassin, PM me your address good sir, and I shall send you something awful for your troubles! You like 'alive' things right...? (Disclaimer, item will not be alive)

    I think it's time to close this thread and find a winner! Ironically, the two posts with the most 'likes' are those of quite uninteresting basses! I have no idea how to create a poll, anyone know? If not, I'll just select my personal favourite and send the winner a very much uninteresting prize!
  22. binky_bass
    Well, at £500 it's probably about as cheap as you'll find one! I have a Sei 6 fretless for a short time with the light wave optical pickups, unique but great sound.

    Your bass appears to have some holes in it... it's ok though, I'll take it off you're hands instead of you throwing it away. 😉
  24. binky_bass
    Out of interest, what's valves, and how many of them does this beast run?
  25. binky_bass
    @andybassdoyle, I'd fancy this back if you're interested in trades...
