Didn't wanna say... but I had thought that! Each to their own of course, but I'd rather have 3 (probably 4!) custom made ACGs than a Wal.

Can fret edges become exposed over time?
binky_bass replied to WrexhamBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
No worries! It's a standing offer if you wanted to give it a go. I bought an old Squier from a bootsale for £20 in the summer, 5 minutes with that file took it from being painful to play to being super smooth and fast! A few light passes makes a world of difference to proud fret ends I also used it to level a raised fret on Binky, worked a charm there too! -

@WrexhamBassist - If you do go down the file route, to save you buying one (as they're not super cheap), Im happy to send you my one, just send it back when you're done with it. Let me know. 👍 -

binky_bass replied to WrexhamBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
You can use a layer or two of masking tape, though I didn't I must confess. If you make very light passes at an angle with a similar file to that, you should hit the fretboard itself. -

@WrexhamBassist - I have one of these files, it works an absolute treat to very quickly resolve this exact problem with minimal effort and minimal skill needed! -
Hi all, Up for sale here is my rather tasty little UK made Marshall Reverb 12 guitar amp from 1990. These are fantastic little amps, Billy Gibbons even recorded with one of these back in the 90s! Excellent spring Reverb and a really gutsy gain than sounds like a full stack but at low, 'practice' volumes. Plenty on YouTube about these, quite rare these days. Looking for £125 Collected from Wickford, Essex or £140 posted within the UK. As with a lot of these amps, the gain control makes minimal difference until you get to about 8, then from 8 to 10 it really ramps up. Any questions, just ask! Cheers, Russ.

Inexpensive strings - get em while you can.

The Rotosound SM666 strings are now back to the full price of £33, glad I bought those 3 sets for £17 each while it lasted! A beer to @TheGreek! 🍻 -
Mirroring what everyone else is saying... don't add the 5th knob to the outside, they all look awkward and obviously not 'factory'.

The Rotosound SM666 6 string sets were £17, which is near on half price. Some of the other deals were a bit insignificant when I looked too, but Amazon does have a habit of changing things fairly rapidly! -
Hi all, I picked up a rather tasty little 1990 Marshall Reverb 12 yesterday, stuffed in the back were these 4 Jack cables. I've not tested any of them and I have no use for them (working or otherwise!) so they're free to anyone that wants them for the price of postage (say £4). You're welcome to collect from Wickford, Essex for free! Russ.

@TheGreek - Good spot. Just bought the last 3 sets of the Rotosound SM666. 👍 -
Hi all, Up for sale here is my Red Squier Affinity Stratocaster. Its in excellent condition, barely any marks or tarnishing anywhere, it could very almost pass for new! Comes with whammy bar and I can find a cheap gig bag for it too. I don't really have anything suitable to package it in but I could probably take the neck off and package it somehow if needed. Actual photos of the guitar now added! £75 collected from Wickford or £85 posted.

Hi all, Up for sale is my recently acquired Spector NS2000B bass. This is a lovely little player! The action is low, the rod is perfectly free, the body and neck have next to no marks on it. No issues with the electrics, all in a great cheap little beast. The metallic blue colour is really deep and quite striking. It'll come with a cheap gig bag and I'll also include a snazzy Levys strap! Dropped to £130 (including postage!!!) as I've got it on Reverb for £150 and BC deserves at least a 13% discount! £120 if you can collect.

IMHO Wals are never reasonably priced! ENCS (Emperors New Clothes Syndrome!)

Bought Paul's OLP 5 string - he packaged it up expertly and sent it out exactly when he said he would, it arrived safe and sound the next day - can't fault the transaction! All round top basschatter! Cheers sir!

Hi, Up for sale here is my absolutely outstanding Peavey TL6 6 string bass. This was made in the USA in 1992, it is in close to mint condition, hardly any marks on it anywhere except a teeny little scuff on the very tip of the headstock and a little tarnishing to the hardware, other than that it is in remarkable condition for its age. I'm only listing this as I have a powerful case of GAS for a bass being sold here! If that bass sells, then this is being withdrawn. It sounds unbelievably good - the action is nice and low and the strings are only a month or so old. It's 34" scale. The tone can be anything from super articulate HiFi to thunderous bass. The bridge is adjustable in all directions, it can be set at 15.5mm spacing up to just a hair under 18mm spacing (which is where it is now). The trans-red colour looks quite stunning with the gold hardware and light flame maple. It has a thick ebony fretboard and mother of pearl inlays. All in this bass is an absolute tone machine, in exceptionally good condition and with its original hard case. You genuinely will not find a better condition example of one of these basses (and yes I've read many a description that claims that, but in this case it is true - if you want to come view it to verify, you are welcome!) I'm based in Wickford, Essex and can post if really needed but I would prefer if it was collected or if we meet somewhere within say 50 miles of Wickford. Any questions, let me know.
