Sounds like the sh*te. It's all talk and no trousers, unless you're actually in the room and playing - which hasn't happened yet; assume all talk and find some other way of making some money.

Bugger, the work firewall is denying me a good look!

I think I need my own thread The Dolphin antics would annoy me - but, it's window shopping. I tried three pairs of Levi jeans on over my lunch hour, before admitting I didn't fancy paying £100 to not be able to feel my ankles (when did jeans get so tight?!?)...

Ah, yes! A very good link. I like the sound of that gub, though I think I'd be all about the neck pick-up

Basschat doesn't owe anyone a sale. I know TheGreek is barely the most guilty party in this respect, but it needs saying - we've seen a few of these threads now, and it wants saying. There are no guarantees. I like the analogy of BC as a great shop window. But the thing with shop windows is that people will window shop - and it's all the more easier to do so, at a remove, online. People will browse; they will admire; and they will make queries, which might not well translate into sales. There's a little bit of tough love here, but if you don't like it, don't list. You'll anatagonise yourself. So, a quick bit of 'homework' could dig out all the information online? Oh aye, because - with the bass in your own hands - it would have taken you an age to add the extra detail to your ad? Or some decent pictures? Or some sound? Or an opinion on the nature of the bass? I think sellers - myself included - should simply have more patience and more pragmatism in our expectations. Yes, there are some genuinely poor examples of buyer behaviour, but I sometimes wonder if we're not our own worst enemies, thinking more generally. However, enough with the generalisms. I've wanted a grumble about complaining sellers for a while, so I'd thank TheGreek for the opportunity So: deep breaths. Then deeper breaths. I'm sure you'll have luck in the end, but be honest about when items will go and what for; look at other routes to market; perhaps be more discerning with who you deal with; and I wish you all the best in getting your sales completed.

Gub, any chance of hearing it played? Assume it's three single-coils?

I really like your sound, Gaz.

I despise Ebay as a seller. I regularly write to their senior management to convey my irks with using their service. Hopefully - one day - they will get the message that, for all their success, their proposition remains a flawed and fundamentally frustrating business.

Sure, I think some misunderstand how awful the UK can be for shipping; some, I'm sure, are just trying it on, That said, if they think they can get cheaper, let them organise their own. De-risks the process for you!

Very nice Duff signature.
