I didn’t have a clue but just googled it 😂 only takes a few minutes.

Well I just felt sickened and wanted to send him some money as I very nearly fell for it too. I was seconds away from sending £300 towards a bass he said he’d take £300 and then £150 when it gets here (all a scam) but luckily the real account holder messaged me saying that his account was hacked into and to not send money. £300 is a lot of money to me so I would’ve been devastated. At least this guy is getting over half his money back thanks to you guys. a I donated £10 but expected other to maybe donate £2-3 to make up £40 or something but it’s far acceded that. shows what a lovely bunch of blokes you are for a fellow bass player. sadly don’t think they guy will get caught. It was all convincing except the price (too good) and the PayPal address looked foreign so I hesitated luckily. I messaged Basstardz the other day and he was very grateful to you all and said he’s been very busy but will get on here hopefully.

Another £30 for him. Thanks guys. I sent him £14.06 today that cleared and will send him that £30 as soon as it’s goes to me.
-
Yes I disabled it as I thought everyone on here who was going to already donated but I’ve just turned it on again for anyone wanting to donate. Says 5 mins it’ll be updated

Sending £47.04 now that Gofundme sent. so this is about £189 I’ve sent and the rest should go to me this week so he’ll have the full £215 to help him out. again very grateful for all the kind donations made

Just sent 2nd instalment of £132 to Basstardz

*sold pending payment -
Ok so if it’s collected from PE27 3FW and taken without the hard case I’ll take £620 which is a bargain for this. Just to answer a few questions I’ve had one here for all to see its a slab body 51 not contoured The frets are in great condition and can send photos if needed The neck is chunkier than my other p basses but not as chunky as the Mike Dirnt bass I had. Intonation is very close considering the design,close enough I haven’t bothered to change it.

Fender 51 p bass Real road wear. I’ve taken some pics of the wear. sounds great and non scratchy pots or electrics. I did change the Jack output to an Allparts Electrosocket and the Jack to a switchcraft one. When I got it it was butchered with 2 screws holding the original one in,punk rock and would’ve left it but it wobbled and caused some noises so replaced it with a better one and is solid now. I’ll include the original parts if you want. it’s not a case queen l,this thing has been gigged. However the neck is straight,the back is surprisingly in good condition as not much buckle rash etc. This bass has scratches and dings all over so buy knowing that. It’s a personal thing and something I vastly prefer over a shiny bass I’m scared to play and mark it. Comes with a Fender hard case I’ve had for ages I got with a USA p bass. This is also worn and has some cracking underneath but does the job. The bass weighs 3.945KG / 8.697 pounds and is the reason I got it as others I’ve tried have been wayyy to heavy. any questions please ask,all original,all awesome. Can pick up from St Ives in Cambridgeshire or I’ll post to UK mainland for £30 in a proper box etc.

Just an update. Looks like we’ve raised £215 for Basstardz. I have send him £9.46 and should receive £132.43 soon from Gofundme to sent to him then the rest in 2-4 working days so he’ll have all the dosh next week. Thanks to all who were able to donate or share you truly are awesome people. Ive selected close as I expect it’s all us on here donating and all those who will have by now so I can get the money sooner for him.

Yeah it’s great that I didn’t have to mess about too much to get a good sound. Everything around 12-1 o’clock and SGT on around 10 o’clock with SVT and higher with B15. The B15 is what makes this though for me with flats,and SVT with rounds sounds awesome.
-
Ok I love this thing. I think it’s the single best thing I’ve bought for bass and there’s been a lot of things. this evening I decided to try the headphones out and aux in for the first time. I usually practice loudly using my GK legacy 800’s power section with a Barefaced One10 and a TC Helicon active speaker for music and never liked headphones with guitar or bass. This is sounds better, having 6 cabsims to choose and all the rest of it I’m sticking with it and the Origin Cali76 to practice. The onboard compressor is total trash though,it just seems to limit a bit but doesn’t bring volume up if you play soft or actually compress so I leave that thing off.
-
Wowzers £215 now!! That should go some way to cheering him up. he said he paid friends and family so has no come back.
-
He was selling Fender Roadworn Jazz bass for £450 the add said it didn’t suit the gigs he was having or something. Arkham DI for £275 I think Mesa Boogie Subway 800+ £300 Line 6 HX stomp £200 (although was listed as Helix Stomp 😂) All looked genuine and from a Basschat user.
-
Can’t believe the generosity of you all for a fellow Basschat member. it’s at £170 😀.

I’m looking at the Broughton SV-Pre to use in front of my Ampeg SGT-Pre and effectively set it up so I have 2 channels. the Broughton and the SGT but read a couple of things about it not having enough volume to drive a power amp is this true as it won’t be going into the front end of an amp but into the effects return?
-
Wow so many nice people on here. it’s at £130! They’re transferring £9 today and then every day they transfer a percentage or something but takes 2 working days. so I’ll save it and send it in £50s or something to Basstardz
-
It’s for Basstardz not me, I just set up the gofundme to see if we could soften the blow for him. £95 so far 🤘
-
£60 so far wow As soon as I can I’ll get this transferred to him once donations stop I guess. Please share even if you can’t donate. Even £2 donations add up

https://gofund.me/467b4752 As some of you might be aware there was a few items listed yesterday on Marketplace for a short period of time,luckily users were quick to report them and were removed swiftly. Unfortunately one person did fall for the false ad using a genuine members account he/she had hacked into. He sent £400 I believe. If we can make a small donation to him I think it would ease his anger having lost this money.
-
Oh yeah we could’ve just sent him money doh. oh well it’s set up now and I’ll share it with my friends as £5 here and there will add up. if you guys could do the same .
-
https://gofund.me/83b4e17f I set up a go fund me
-
How would we report it? Is there an easy way or have to look to find an email or something? Yeah that what I said last night that it would be good if people made a small donation to at least get some of his well earned money back poor guy
-
Hopefully he’ll come on here.
-
So this person who sent money is one us yeah? How much did he send and can he get it back at all? Happy to contribute to get some of his money back poor guy. Was nearly me if it wasn’t for the real account holder messaging me.
