Go out there with an empty case, come back with a full one. Worked for me.

I'd love an ACG but I just couldn't take them to the Dog 'n' Duck for a gig.

Why not? They're tools to be played after all.

There are some serious holes in your collection there.  Where is your 11 string?

 

But seriously, bloody hell!  Those two ACGs in the front row🥰  That's an amazing collection.

Not as colourful as your lot though. Not had an 11, but I did have a 13 string at one point! 

Not quite as rainbow-ish as yours @BillyBass, but mine are quite a colourful bunch!

@E sharp - do you ever get down to Essex at all?

£100? Ridiculously cheap... If I had the room for it I'd take this. 

Super cool rig. 😎 

A thou is super cheap for this bass. Probably the best bargain on BC at the moment. T'were it a 6, it'd already be at home with me!

The colour clashes with your lawn. Either you'll have to pave it all or send the bass to me.

 

I don't make the rules!

Pave the bass? 🤔 

Only 7 strings? I must assume this is a child's bass... REAL bassists play at least an 8 or 9 string. True bassists play a 10 strings. 😜

John made me a replacement cable for a Line6 G50 wireless system - excellent customer service! Would happily buy from again, another credit to Basschat! 

Had some excellent service from one of our own recently - @Chienmortbb

He made me a replacement cable for a Line6 G50 wireless system - I'd foolishly ordered a slightly incorrect spec, John was kind enough to re-make another cable in the correct spec and send it off to me. Top marks there for great customer service! 

@paulysainte I might have an old set of strings from Binky (my 10 string bass) hiding in some deep dark drawer somewhere... the F# would be around a .180 gauge. If I can find the old set im happy to send it to you so you can experiment with different thicknesses. 

Although I've just seen that your location is set to 'Wisconsin' so postage might need to be covered if you want them!!

I also had one, acquired used.

 

I've never seen the accompanying cab for sale though.

I had one of these with a 4x8 and 2x8 superfly cabs AGES ago... genuinely was a great rig and a bit of a game-changer at the time in terms of lightweight rigs. 

I'd be interested in that GTBD7 should you be in the market to sell!

Not to keep flogging a dead horse as it sounds like the Ezoics experiment is over, but since I accidentally clicked on the continue with recommended cookies button I’ve had a marked increase in spam coming into to my email account. 
 

Coincidence?

I suspect not. Reading a fair chunk of the 'fine print' by clicking accept you've given them licence to access anything and everything they can gleam from you and can now sell it all to a myriad of different, mostly nefarious, companies. 

Warwick have great customer services. I've had a few back and forths with Hans P Wilfer over the years about a few different things - he always responds quickly and is always helpful. A sad rarity these days. 

Seems that a lot of us are happy to consider changing our subscription charges in order to financially float the site and to avoid banners/ads/ezoics etc. Is this not a viable option?

I notice that neither @Kiwi or @dewww have seen fit to comment since this all kicked off.

I'm not sure the powers that be particularly care about our collective resistance to this - I think the want to monetize the site is taking preference over and above what is a relatively small vocal minority.

Has it been removed or gone up the list binky 

You're right - its moved up. 

I wasn't aware that this area of the forum can change the order of posts... 

I've withdrawn my prior comments accordingly. Lesson learnt!

Got rid of the 'Privacy' tab but I'm on a Samsung Android phone and can't clear it. Annoyingly, it covers the text I'm trying to read. Any easy way to get rid of it?

 

This whole, shambolic Ezoic business is getting right up the noses of many Basschatters.

Comment withdrawn.

Comment withdrawn. 

Seems that way. 

I think I'll follow the example @Dad3353has set and remove myself from this site until @Kiwi can get this sorted or @dewww can confirm why Ezoics appears to us all as a very dishonest organisation. 

Its an absolute shame that the site is going through this - if Kiwi could tell us what the cost of membership would need to be to sever ties with Ezoics and any other such partner that is clearly totally self-serving to the point of being morally questionable (at best) it would be appreciated. We're a community here, I'm sure as a community we can cover the costs of floating the site - to become a cooperative of sorts. 

I look forward to signing back in in a few days to hopefully see either some questions answered, or ties severed with Ezoics.

This whole cookie thing is getting on my nerves.

 

I will not log on to BC again for a week - if the situation is not resolved and and a ‘Reject All’ button available - I will terminate my subscription and membership.

I think a good few people are nearing this position.
