Isn't that exactly the point/how they should be fitted? 🤔

Sold an iPod nano to Martin, always a smooth transaction. Would be happy to deal with again, and no doubt will at some point! Another top basschatter. 😁

I saw a boob once, scared the hell out of me. Never again.

Gear Gallery... I click the link thinking I'd be whisked away to pictures of my favourite narcotics only to be greeted with pictures of basses... how disappointed I was. Keep it safe and go with 'Photos Of Bass Guitars' (Cue the person to be disappointed by not seeing guitars made out of fish). There is no winning!!!

3rd parties buy thousands of slots at a time which gives them a much cheaper total price so its almost always cheaper to go with a 3rd party.

Just in case you aren't joking, it hasn't been shaped yet! 😉

I'm not sure if what we play classes as metal, but there are certainly some 'heavy as metal' parts to a good number of our songs, so on that basis I shall post within this thread! My main bass at the moment is an ACG 6 string 33" scale bass, we tuned half a step down for our songs and this bass is perfectly suited to that. Excellent array on tones to allow the bass to thunder along or shine at the top of the mix. Amp wise, it's a Mesa Boogie Strategy Eight:88 head with two Mesa Vintage Powerhouse cabs throwing out circa 450w of obscene valve power. Effects wise, I went from a massive board to a Line 6 Helix and haven't looked back. Does everything you need it to do and a fair bit more. All in, that set up is about as good as I have ever played and works brilliantly with our music, for the metally parts and the slightly lighter parts!

I'm used to it! 😁

A better picture of the top...

Maybe they are talking about themselves? I am collectable - as in I am able to collect things. Also, going down this road, anyone who says 'Pacific' instead of 'Specific' should be shot immediately and ground into a fine paste.

Agreed, trying to get a courier to pay is a nightmare, they ask for unreasonable information and evidence that you'd have needed to obtain before sending the item such as photos of the packing process, what tape you used, etc. all in an attempt to weasel out of paying. It's my experience that the first answer they give is always "No, sorry this isn't eligible to pay out" in the hope you won't argue it, if you do argue it and if they think they have no choice but to pay, they attempt to low ball you, only if you reject the low ball, and keep pushing will you maybe get something close to the right value of compensation, to be raised via a cheque that takes 6-8 weeks to arrive... They have this process in place because out of 100 claims, 10 to 15 people will give up during the process and they've saved themselves the money of having to pay out these claims.

People selling basses that clearly know what they are selling but act ignorant in the hopes someone will think its a 'real' Fender or something. "Could be a real 1969 Fender worth £5k but I know nothing about basses so I'm only asking XXX" And cropping the headstock out of photos then just listing it as a 'Bass', clearly in the vein hope someone will think its some magical brand worth far more than the seller is asking.

Well, that's me out then.
