[quote name='Status09' post='729261' date='Jan 29 2010, 10:09 PM']Cheers! The amp will be missed, as it's been a great little runner! The reason I'm letting go is because i'm upgrading to a larger combo as my band is gigging quite a lot now. Thanks[/quote] Would you post it? No wait - courier it at my expense? I understand if it's too much bother though.

Beautiful! Bump for nowt!

[quote name='Conan' post='723147' date='Jan 24 2010, 02:42 PM']DAMN!! I mean, thank goodness - temptation has been removed!! [/quote] Loved your bass relay idea - I had a vision of the BBC following 'a group of people going down the M74 passing a purple object to each other!'

[quote name='Zoe_BillySheehan' post='722969' date='Jan 24 2010, 11:23 AM']Cheers. Garageband drums are so noticeable arn't they? lol Z x[/quote] My wee girl makes tunes on it and she's only 10! Her and her pals do albums together on sleepovers. I may not get rich and famous but if I play my cards right......

[quote name='retroman' post='722832' date='Jan 24 2010, 08:19 AM']Mrs Retroman has got one of these, and it's a cracking bass. Loaded with SD quarter pounders it really growls. Free bump for a great bass [/quote] ps - a bass player married to a bass player - take it you don't get GAS grief then!

Update: I have researched on MusicRadar .... [url="http://www.musicradar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27027"]http://www.musicradar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27027[/url] ...and had advice from some kind souls on this site. It looks like I have to arrange a meet/pick up, find bubble wrap and a box (then dismantle the purple beast or sell the hard case and use parcelforce. I am worried that people think I am mucking them around but according to 'www.parcel2go.com' the bass and hard case would incur a charge of: £10.99 plus VAT (£13 or thereabouts) for ParcelForce 48 £11.99 plus VAT ((£14 or thereabouts) for ParcelForce 24 This would insure the bass up to a value of £100 (depending on how you read their info!) to but does not insure the case which is, bizarrely treated as packaging. So, I will have a wee ask around at Strung Out today to see if they have packaging but it looks like if anyone wants the bass, they'd have to buy the hard case too. I was not keen on doing that but if that's what it takes... How do people feel about that and does that mean I add postage plus the price of the case to the price? Could be £120+£14(postage)+£30(case) = £164 and that looks expensive to me (unless you think of it as £150 for bass and case plus P+P!) Thoughts? Thanks for your patience.

I've had an offer if I post - so I am looking into it - but in the meantime, I am still looking for a pick up or a meet. Sounds so dangerous and sexy....until you meet me. Wee question, what's the usual about payment for posted items? How do we go about it? I refuse to use paypal as I was Skype/Paypal hacked and have not used ebay since but I also realise there's a need for the buyer to feel safe too.

[quote name='Delberthot' post='722608' date='Jan 23 2010, 09:18 PM']try getting a hold of an empty flat screen TV box, you can get a big roll of bubblewrap on Ebay for less than a tenner. Wrap the bass up with the bubblewrap, place in the box, pack well so that it won;t move around and the cut the box down to the smallest size you can to save on postage. Parcelmonkey are currently the cheapest for sending within the UK but there are other and there's a FAQ thread for couriers somewhere around here. You'll have a load of bubblewrap left over for future things. I'm out of here cos I'm starting to get tempted myself and live close enough to collect. [/quote] Here - that might be a plan.

[quote name='Mzungu71' post='722546' date='Jan 23 2010, 08:20 PM']I've got an Ibanez Jet King if you fancy a trade? It's in almost mint condition[/quote] Sorry friend - I'm looking for dough...just like Humphrey Bogart!

[quote name='Conan' post='722495' date='Jan 23 2010, 07:39 PM']Don't suppose you fancy a five string? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72580"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72580[/url] Chuck in your case and I'd be happy to do a direct swap! Meet up halfway between Newcastle and Glasgow... which would be around, er - let's see.... Hexham I think? [/quote] Smart bass and I have looked but I'm determined to get a 4 string, probably Spector, Ibanez SGR300M, F-Jazz or if I push the bow-at out a MTD Kingston.
