    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1491046809' post='3270119'] My comment isn't really about the money angle. I'm really thinking more about the benefit of actually sitting and talking about objectives and chemistry. [/quote] This conversation should be regularly reviewed too imho

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1491037162' post='3269990'] My Bro in Law is a cello teacher. I'm at his house atm. He's got someone coming here shortly for an "audition". What's that? It's where a prospective pupil comes for a chat to see if their aims are likely to be met with the teacher. It's FOC and if works both ways. Does this ever happen in the world of bass? [/quote] I stopped teaching 3 years ago, but when I was tutoring, my first 30 minutes were always a free "meet & greet". Also an opportunity to find out what the prospective students aspirations were, and equally important, they had the opportunity to ask questions about what to expect. I could then start to plan lessons accordingly if we both agreed to continue. I felt it was only fair that I took someone's (or a parents) hard earned cash only when they were in an instrument lesson. So yes it does or did happen in the world of bass.

    I played through this at Paul's when picking up a bass from him. OMG what a great little amp, big sound from a tiny footprint. Glwts Paul. John

    Crown XLS 2000 new & unopened. Bought 18mths ago not needed. [URL=http://s1000.photobucket.com/user/basscoach/media/stuffs/received_1819100041686808.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/received_1819100041686808.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1000.photobucket.com/user/basscoach/media/stuffs/IMG-20170228-WA0001.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMG-20170228-WA0001.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Crown's XLS Series amplifiers define the standard for portable PA systems with unmatched performance, technology and affordability. Its advantageous flexibility includes multiple inputs so you can plug in anything and play anywhere, along with several system setup configurations. The integrated crossovers and switch-mode power supply produce superior sound, and Peakx™ limiters protect your speakers. Weighing less than 12 pounds, compared to 40 pounds for its competitors, it's much easier to set up and move from show to show. Simply put, the XLS is most reliable, versatile, efficient amp available today. Stock pics and spec link: http://www.crownaudio.com/en/products/xls-2000 £299 I'm in Bath.

    Lovely cut away Washburn electro acoustic. Grover tuners, jack and xlr inputs, nice 2 band eq, new bridge. Lovely player. Strung with new Ernie Ball bronze light gauge. The D string is a high E string tuned to D, as a hybrid Nashville tuning, but I'll replace with a wound D before letting it go. Collection from Bath/Bristol areas. I don't have a bag, so no postage at present. If I find a box, I'll buy some bubblewrap and post for another £15.

    Lloyd bought a fretless P from me. Paid when he said he would, stayed in touch, nice chap to do business with. Cheers, John

    The last dep gig I did, the regular guy was available, but they kept me on. Their bass player turned up at the gig and watched. Had a drink afterwards and compared notes. Thought it was a nice touch.

    John bought a pedal. All good, paid when he said he would, good communication too. Cheers, John

    Had no idea Mike had some Zoots built out in Japan. Cracking basses these, £200 is quite frankly bonkers! Don't forget to buy this wearing:- [URL=http://s1000.photobucket.com/user/basscoach/media/stuffs/1f64b9cd8e77770da8ba484c2de03c90.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/1f64b9cd8e77770da8ba484c2de03c90.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Glwts, John

    Sold. Fab little nano looper pedal, boxed and with 9v psu. 10 mins of unlimited loops, a lot of fun in a little package. I bought this as a bridge between more complex loopers and it's been great for my once a week acoustic guitar "gig". Great condition, itd be hard to break it as its a little tank.

    [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1487509533' post='3240294'] Fretted ones are available (Not selling mine, it's a keeper. Sorry.) [/quote] Glad you're still enjoying it. Great basses these, you can get a pretty good organic upright tone too. Glwts

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1487503000' post='3240207'] Would look fantastic with a caramel scratch plate - wish I could justify buying it.... [/quote] Cheers M. Looks like its sold, saving you the agony :-)

    [quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1487418805' post='3239639'] This is lovely! What's the nut width? [/quote] Hi Jono, measures at about 43mm. Cheers

    [quote name='Modseq' timestamp='1487372017' post='3239447'] Bit of a long shot, but I have an Ibanez SR-256 6 string fretless in pearl white, if it's something you'd be at all interested in? [/quote] Thanks for the offer, but I find the Ibby SR 6 necks a little narrow for my shovels. The BTBs seem to be a little wider. John

    [quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1487251725' post='3238376'] Not played a FL before. Any side dots? [/quote] There are side dots, but they're not in quite the right place, the neck was fretted but had an unlined board added. It's never bothered me as I play upright so am more used to muscle memory and ear. You'd be surprised at how instinctive playing unlined fretless can be...great fun.

    Sold Mighty Mite body, Squier SQII jazz neck (with F logo), SD QP pups, Gotoh Bridge. Put together for me by Andy Manners (Vintage & Rare) Bath, as my Boz Burrel tribute. Andy reshaped the board and put a new bone nut on when putting it together. Plays well, sounds like a fretless P should and currently strung with flats.

Welcome to come over and try out. If enough interested parties I could also part out, but let's see if anyone is interested in the bass as is, then I will break down individual prices and post them on the listing. I'm in Bath. Might throw in a new quality padded gig bag if needed. Thanks for looking.
