harveyn Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Good evening I was browsing the web re Carl Thompson Basses and came across this forum. I noticed that there was some entries for some players looking for one of Carls Basses. Look no further I have a 1977 Carl thompson Stanley Clarke scroll Piccolo Bass This is in amazing condition and looks/plays and sounds unbelievable It is complete with a custom 5 star case It has been improved with GMT technology active circuitry (STATUS CIRCUITRY) and a chrome effect scratch plate I personally commissioned Rob Green to carry out this work,I have owned this bass since around 1984 Genuine reason for sale Be prepared to be blown away (pictures if required.) Guys ignore some of the comments re saving yourself money by commissioning a copy, that i have seen on this web site. Come on would you rather have an ANTORIA LES PAUL OR A GIBSON LES PAUL thats the difference!! You will not be sorry Price: £10,000 or trade for a Gibson les paul/335 Gibson in part exchange.

skej21 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Welcome to Basschat! Just a few hints to help you sell within the rules of the forum. This is posted in the wrong section (should be in "Basschat Marketplace > For Sale: Basses"), you HAVE to state a price for "for sale" instruments and people tend to be quite cautious if there are no pictures of the instrument and if the seller is a new member (so maybe proof of positive feedback [maybe a link to your ebay account/feedback] might be a good idea) Hope this helps!

pantherairsoft Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi Harvey, welcome to BassChat. I have moved this thread to the correct part of the forum. Please read our Guidlines, T's & C's to avoid having people moan at you. As per the rules, and as already stated, you need to state a sale price if you are advertising on BassChat or risk having your post removed. I'd suggest posting some pictures as well so we can see it's real. I'm particularly interested in seeing some pics as I've wanted a CT as long as I can remember! Cheers Shep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveyn Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Ok thanks for the advise It is the first time i have used this site This could be worth anything from 5000-20000 according to people in the know However i will let it go for a reasonable price But thanks for your help harveyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Everyone starts somewhere... No apology needed. We do need you to state an asking price however of you want to list the bass as we aren't a sale or auction site, more a discussion forum and information resource with a sale forum as an added extra. Unfortunately being worth 5000-20000 isn't precise enough. Could you pop an asking price in your opening post (the edit button is in the bottom corner of the post so you can add to/amend it) please. It's also worth bearing in mind that I'd expect to sell your bass for less here than it would sell for on eBay, there tends to be a community spirt where by most of us sell basses and amps at a fair price given there's no fees etc for the seller (if eBay would nick £100 off the sale then sell to a basschatter for £100 less). That's not a 'rule', but it's the way most of us fly Get us some pics posted up.... We want to see!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a range or an estimate, there must be a specific price (though you can be open to offers below it, there must be a top price you're looking for). The best way I've found to attach photos is to go to [url="http://www.imageshack.us"]http://www.imageshack.us[/url] then upload them there and use the image tags on the forum here when you post.

I remember a similar "welcome" when i joined.[/quote] Not trying to be 'difficult' or anything but I'm betting that you didn't say you had a bass worth anything between 5,000 & 20,000 (currency not specified), then say you'd offer a reasonable price, decide that price was £10,000 and then not post any pictures when people asked for them? I can't imagine anyone would think they could sell a bass for £10K without a lot of detail and high quality pictures etc.? This would seem especially relevant when there's a pair of Carl Thompson basses up for sale on TalkBass at the moment for £3,000 - £3,500. In order to be worth three times this amount it's got to be a very special CT indeed (and I'm not saying that it isn't - it's just tough to tell from the details given so far). Seems very reasonable to ask for this sort of information to me. Edited December 30, 2010 by molan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daflewis Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 [quote name='Mike' post='1072916' date='Dec 30 2010, 05:23 PM']Glad you're still about, made of sterner stuff clearly![/quote] Hi Mike, yes still here, though not as often these days as there's so much work to do on the new house! Chaps, I'm not saying everyone was rude and [quote]I think what has been said in other posts is quite reasonable. "No apology needed" from a moderator seems reasonable to me[/quote] doesn't even deserve a response - Pantherairsoft will know full well that I'm not referring to him. What I AM saying is that if you look at the timeline, he was given about 90mins of helpful advice; apparently had a problem loading pics so probably went to bed (it being around 11.30pm) and the next time he logs in he sees a very different attitude and is probably scared off. Now he MAY have been trying it on, or he MAY have had a bass made of Brazilian rosewood with solid gold hardware.... we'll probably never know. But this has been spoken of before and is one of the problems of the internet - like driving; everyone is in their hermetically sealed environment and treats others in a way that they never would face to face.

pantherairsoft Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hi Harvey, Attaching pics to the forum is reliant on them being under a certain size. The easiest way to get good large pictures up is to open a free account with a site like Photobucket (which I use) or flickr etc... You upload the pics to that site and they give you a link to copy and paste onto forums to see the picture Shep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
