[quote name='BoomBass' post='987289' date='Oct 13 2010, 07:05 PM']Yeah, I buy and sell a lot of basses in my quest for finding the perfect basses (for me). I have sent/received more than 30 basses over the last 2 years, and as long as you put it in a hard case (pack it up inside with bubble wrap) and put the hard case inside a solid card board box, there is virtually no risk. I have never had any shipping problems of any kind! Definitely offer postage if you want to sell.[/quote] I can beat that - 60 basses posted, about a dozen cabs, cabinet flightcases and 4 or 5 amps as well as small stuff. My Goth thunderbird arrived from the US with the neck off the body to keep shipping down. There is a sticky that shows you how to pack a bass and I'm sure it goes into detail about how to do it if you have no case or bag for it as well. Now's also a good time to offer postage to Europe as well as the Euro to the Pound is terrible for us but great for countries that use the Euro

I have the opposite problem - I have something for sale but there must be something blocking people's PMs coming through

Does he teach you driving 'the Chinese Way'?

The action looks a bit high and the 5th fret seems a lot more worn that the others I had to enlarge the picture to check that it was actually a bass - looks like one of those pictures where they've magnified an everyday object by 100x and you need to guess what it is.

Hmm the HF ones may be the ones for me. I don't want uniform frequency attenuation - I like my ER20s cos they get rid of some of the damaging high end caused primarily by crashing symbols in my immediate vicinity. I've always been very sensitive to high frequencies my whole life so they may be the solution

Is it my imagination or is this really cheap? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-Gibson-EB2-Bass-Guitar-/130433861702?pt=Guitar&hash=item1e5e76c846"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-Gibson-EB2-B...=item1e5e76c846[/url]

more originals than covers on the voting but more covers than originals on the posts in the thread?

An idea I've had for some time now but am unsure how effective it would be. Would it be possible to plug your bass into a small 5 or so watt all valve guitar combo to get a 'proper' overdriven valve sound before taking a line out to your bass amp? Or am I completely barking up the wrong tree?

Surely it would be cheaper to find the best showroom condition 76 Jazz bass and have the work done by the best luthier in the country and it would still be less money?

A Fender one now I already want a Squier now where's that new simley oh yes so whats the craic with this German "bloke"???[/quote] He sells sh*te at vastly inflated prices but we reckon its a ruse so that people will check out his parts (ooer missus) and buy them instead

[quote name='geoffbyrne' post='984989' date='Oct 11 2010, 10:38 PM']Looks great!! Here's mine - a Thunder IIIb Fretless, all original. G.[/quote] Put that away Dammit. One of the few basses on the forum that still gives me GAS and I don;t even do fretless anymore

So is it left or right handed? I'm assuming the neck dive would be so bad you'd have to play it with the neck pointing towards the floor

it needed to be said. Anyway - GK heads are very good. Never tried the cabs mind though I fancy trying the neo 2x12" cabs but I think 6 changes of bass rig in a year is bordering on silly so I may wait until next year
