Yeah that's what I've been hearing! Only problem is I can't figure out how to find anything on the basschat marketplace - is there any way to search/filter by price or location? I can't see any option for that and it means that 99% of the posts are too far away or well above my price range.

Might be a stupid question... but can't I just switch strings around between different basses instead of buying a new set for each bass? So if I find strings I like, test them out on different basses and then put the original strings back on if I want to sell it on?

Yeah I still don't really have a feel for this, cos I've only ever had my Tanglewood and playing on guitar shop basses for a few minutes at a time doesn't give me much sense of what's what. I'm kind of wondering if I should start picking up a few random cheap basses to try out and then resell.

Based in London, and want to be able to play a bit of everything. My tanglewood with flats is pretty good for smooth and deep bass tones, so for contrast I'd like to find something with a bit more bite/growl. Not sure what that means in terms of pickups / hardware though...

I've tried the basschat marketplace but I've found it really hard to use. Is there some way of filtering/sorting by location or price? Maybe I'm being stupid but I can't see any option to do that, which means that 99% of the posts are too far away or out of my price range.

Why new knobs?

I came across this advert, and I'm trying to figure out if it's as good a deal as it sounds, or if the guy is just an amazing salesman. To someone who doesn't know much about bass guitar specs, does the upgrades he's describing sound like they're really that great? Any advice on what I should check for if I go and take a look at it, or any questions I should be asking? (Other than just seeing if I like the way it plays/sounds)

Help please! Is there some way to search, filter, or sort the 'basses for sale' forum based on price or location? I can't see any way to do that and wading through all the posts that are above my budget or too far away makes it kind of impossible to find anything. I hope I'm just missing something obvious here!
