    Likewise. My bass parameters are extremely specific too, but there's still enough that fit the bill out there for me to make the odd purchase and for the collection to grow! My parameters would be: 6 or more stings Through/set neck Active pickups Above 16.5mm spacing, below 19mm spacing 30.5" to 34" only Not a painted body That narrows it down to about 0.01% of the market, but the collection still grows every now and then.

    That has never stopped me buying more basses! I mean, if I had the funds my 'perfect car' might be a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, but that would stop me buying the odd Lambo or a 66 Shelby GT! Owning the perfect bass won't cure the lust to build the perfect collection!

    I've pulled the trigger on a Walrus Audio Slarp. Should be delivered today... hopefully it'll be exactly what I'm after, If not, I can return it and then I might take a closer look at the Collider - app control is a cool feature.

    Hi all, I recently got this in a trade, but have decided to go in a different direction. When I bought it, it came in a 2U rack case, I've since bought (brand new!) The correct Markbass Multiamp bag that has a pocket big enough for the Markbass midi pedal and Midi lead (both included) a speakon lead, jack lead, and a strap (not included, but fit happily in the pocket!), so everything you need to gig in one small carry bag that can go on your back! The amp and pedal are in excellent condition, not really a mark on it. The SD card that comes with it can house 100's of presets and be used to create and transfer profiles from your computer. The bag is brand new and cost me £85 from Thomann two weeks ago. So grab an utter bargain. I'm asking £550 posted in the UK or £525 collected from Wickford, Essex. If this doesn't sell in the next week I'll be trading it in at Bass Direct where I imagine the price will significantly increase! So, £550 all in for the amp, the pedal, the lead, the bag, SD card and postage! Pictures below are of the EXACT same set up I a few years ago, I will take photos of THIS EXACT set up tomorrow. Its all effectively the same! Russ.

    Hi all, The only effect I use these days are reverb and delay. I have a Line 6 Helix LT and its great, but I'm wondering what is out there in as smaller package as possible that combines reverb and delay? I don't want two pedals, I'm specifically looking for one pedal, as small as possible, that has a very good reverb and delay with the ability to manipulate the decay and mix of both. Anything out there? Ta! Russ.

    This guy will be joining me in my coffin when I die... Having owned hundreds of basses from almost all of the 'boutique' brands, there's a reason why I have 6 ACGs. In the illustrious words of Tony the Tiger, they're grrrrrrrrrrrreat!

    I failed again today and will be failing again for a third time on Saturday. We need a GASAG (Gear Acquisition Syndrome Addiction Group).

    Hi all, Price is £75, not £85! (Just to reflect the overall 'imperfect' condition and for it still to be a cracking deal!) Just got this in a partial trade... and even though I'm a lefty, I actually play bass/guitar as a righty so this is no good to me! It's has a solid spruce top and mahogany sides with a nice all round binding and pearl rosette. It plays well, the action is a bit higher than I'd personally like, but with a set up could be lowered. It has a Fisan pickup and built in tuner and does have a few marks here and there but overall its in good condition. The 'pointed' center bit of the bridge is lifting slightly, but it is still solid. As you can see it's had a few round stickers on it that I've removed, however they have left sun bleach marks that I can't remove. These are around £300 new, so £75 for a solid body Electro-Acoustic with a Fishman pickup seems quite fair given the condition. Collection from Wickford, Essex or we can talk postage, but I don't have a case. I MIGHT be able to find one for extra cost if really needed. Any questions, let me know.

    This guy is another example of the growing number of absolutely deluded eBay sellers... He has a shed load of other instruments at absolutely astronomical prices that NO ONE will ever pay. In his mind he probably sees himself as a millionaire based on the prices he gives his inventory - in reality the cumulative value of his stock is probably 10% of what he's trying to get out of it.

    Scroll up sir! its the Crafter acoustic bass, the Crafter nylon and the Peavey half stack.

    Likewise. I have two Italia straps too, both excellent things! At least on par with Pinegrove and the proper leather Richter straps IMO.
  12. binky_bass
    Happy to say none!

    I've been known to enjoy a Crafter or two... 9 of the 12 Anniversary Edition acoustics. They absolutely punch well above their weight. I have a non-export Korean Dragon (the one with the pick guard below) and it is phenomenal. A far stretch better than a USA Martin Dreadnought I had a while back.

    These are re-branded Wharfedale cabs. Only heard good things about these. If you're lurking round Essex I'd be happy to take it!
  15. binky_bass
    I'll talk to you in a week or so when I'll no doubt be bored of it! 😂
  16. binky_bass
    A little unnecessary, but when a deal is too good to pass up...
  17. binky_bass
    Well I'm out. Lasted a week.
  18. binky_bass
    Well... ain't that just a bit unique! Any chance of a full picture? You have piqued my curiosity sir!
  19. binky_bass
    Can we have a 1st week of January amnesty? There's something I want to buy... 😂
  20. binky_bass
    So would I! But unfortunately it's still here... Open to a FAIR offer, else it'll end up in the loft for eternity.

    GR Bass make some fantastic gear - this is probably the best genuinely useful small combo on the market.
  22. binky_bass
    I'll join, but in a similar vein to @hiram.k.hackenbacker - I have a fully paid up for ACG that's due to arrive in a few weeks, as it's fully paid up and just waiting to be shipped I'm thinking it doesn't count! if the consensus agree, add me to the list!
  23. binky_bass
    So disappointed that this ACG doesn't have a giant Miley inlay on the front of it...
  24. binky_bass
    A good strap is a good shout... I use Richter, Pinegrove and Italia straps. All excellent. Italia seem to have a constant 2-4-1 deal and they are very good straps! Hand made in California to order.

    I went from a 4 string Ibanez Roadster to a 10 string bass (Binky) years back, now I mostly play 6 strings, and the occasional 8, 9 and 10 string! You'll be surprised how much more you can express yourself on a 6 string, you might absolutely love it! Treat yourself to a reasonably cheap second hand 6 string (HB or Ibanez), and if you don't like it after 6 months, sell it on, break ever (maybe turn a small profit!) and then use that money to upgrade your Squier Or... if you get the 6 string bug, then welcome to the REAL world of bass! 😁
