KingBollock Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) But I like looking at stuff I can't afford (which is everything...) and I wouldn't want to have to sign in anonymously for fear of being shamed! Perhaps the different sections could require different passwords, made up of either your annual income or your monthly mortgage payments?

It makes getting to the 90s Encore P bass copy advert take ages at the moment because of all the adverts for rare pino pallawalladingo precision or the 47 string custom made basses from 10,000 year old balsawood!

Beedster Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 [quote name='artisan' timestamp='1398950108' post='2439311'] lol this place seems to be turning into "Fenderchat" no other makes will be tolerated [/quote] That's why I moved to Yamaha, Fender is so 2013. It's the first time in about 20 years I haven't owned a Fender bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I have no basses that look anything remotely like a Fender. However, I recently played a VMJ fretless for the first time. I've no budget to buy anything right now, but I am feeling a strong pull towards the Fender derivative side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 It would be nice to be able to do more structured searches of the For Sale bits. The down side however is most likely to be increased spending on basses etc. leading inevitably to chastisement, mental cruelty, abuse, assault with a deadly frying pan, castration, death and divorce. Not necessarily in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Good point well made. To date purchases have been met with a combination of rolling eyes, exasperation, auditing of bank records and general abuse. So all good There is a distinct possibility that I might have accidently forgotten to declare bass #5 to the boss so things may take a turn for the worst. Gentle reminder that the BC Code Of Conduct When Talking To Partners applies, and that if questioned by Mrs ead the required response is along the lines of..."ooh, I don't think so, I though he only had two basses."

Removes the need for human moderation, and as that price field can't be edited after the thread is started, it gets round Woodinblack's problem above.

JapanAxe Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I own 2 Fender basses and 1 Fender guitar (among others) - does that mean I'm 'hip'? It would be a big improvement over 'predictable'. Anyway, we are prolonging artisan's agony by keeping this thread open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Can someone please tell us hipsters with Fenders what IS cool and what's not, so I can sell up and be down wit da yoof please? Edited May 2, 2014 by skej21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
