Also bad feedback can be left when someone has outlay-ed money to aquire an item (in the form of courier or travel costs) but the other party pulled out, even then mods need proof of receipt that money was spent and all avenues from both parties have been exhausted to satisfy the aggrieved party.

Fair enough. My concern was where one side had already incurred costs on couriers or travel etc (as per Skankdelvar's example) then the other party pulls out - that seems to be covered by this

So when can we leave negative feedback?

They're back on at 11.15 apparently. Why they couldn't have stuck the cartoons on first, and then shown the set in one go is beyond me!

Shockwave - I take your point, but I've bought and sold loads of stuff on Basschat, and if someone had a history of pulling out of deals then personally I would like to know.

If people only leave positive feedback what is the point of leaving feedback at all???
[/quote]

This. If the feedback threads mean anything at all, then I would want to know if someone had messed another basschatter about on a deal. One of the reasons I buy and sell on here is simply that the experience is so much more positive than ebay. If someone has had a negative experience I think we should know.

Watching it and enjoying it a lot. Everything a rock band should be!

Feedback is there for other people to benefit from, not to settle scores. If you'd known he was a timewaster, you'd have had him waste less of your time, so do that favour for the next person.

+1.

Good advice. And if the mistake is really bad, glare at the guitarist, and most of the punters will think it's him

Seriously, learning 40 songs in a fortnight is bloody impressive. I do well to learn one in that time!

SR500 has soap bar pickups, I think, so I would guess SR400 too.

Sorry - not sure how I posted that twice! Could a Mod remove?!

We've recently put "Just Looking" by Stereophonics in the set. Seems to go down well for a slowie.

I know its already been suggested, but Learn to Fly goes down well too.

I didn't say laminate meant it was a bad body. Just that I don't think it's a US Fender, which is the question implied in the OP.

If it sounds good, that's fine!

I suspect that's actually something like a Columbus copy from the 70s / early 80s.

As far as I know, Fender have never produced a laminate body of that type - certainly not from the Corona factory. You can pick Fender neck plates up on ebay for as little as £10.

You have a PM!

Sold Greg my Tech 21 VT. Very easy transaction - Thanks Greg!

Sold Dermot a pedal. Very easy transaction. Thanks!

There you go..fixed that for you

Thanks - can't argue with that!

Horrible strings. They feel rough, wear quickly, and never sound good to me.

But as sixdegrees says, there are some pretty good bass players out there who like them!

Chromes sound great IMO, but I agree they are the most roundwound sounding flats. But the tension takes a bit of getting used to.

If you're playing rock punk and metal, are you sure flats are what you're looking for?

I actually found the pickup cover a surprisingly comfortable place to rest my thumb. I do miss mine - this looks a cracker with the upgrades. Have a bump!

I've played this, and it's an absolute corker! And Sam is a sound bloke to deal with.

I'm missing my old Warwicks, but haven't got anything to trade I'm afraid. Good luck with the sale though Sam

The binding on that pic does seem to run under the bridge, which as you say, is a tell tale sign for a copy.

I've never found a J pickup to blend well with a P; often I'll get a solo'd sound I like but it then vanishes in the mix. A MM seems to blend better...all this is a matter of taste of course.

[/quote]

Agree 100% with this. I added a J pickup to my 70s reissue P and it just doesn't seem to work. I end up using just the P. I think a Stingray type pickup just suits the P sound better.

Rickenbackers can do clanky. But solo the neck pickup and roll off the treble and you have a great thick thumpy tone. They are far more versatile than people give them credit for. Properly EQ'd you can get nice grindy rock tones, clanky Chris Squire tones, and rounded Jazz tones.

The playablity is a bit Marmite though. I love mine, but the necks do take some adjusting to if you're used to a Fender.

The fingers are far more versatile. That's all there is to it. There may be pick players who deny it, but it is true.

Using both is most versatile. Try playing the intro run on No More Heroes with your fingers. You might be able to do it, but it just doesn't sound as good.
