  1. The red dots put me off quite a lot. Shame, it looks like an absolute beast.
  2. Phil Ward @philw is a double-bass guy living in Brighton and a thoroughly nice chap. He will know who's active there.
  3. Bizarre. I wouldn't buy a £3800 bass with an AI description, for sure.
  4. Err, what's a bass? ... Oh. Do people still do that?
  5. Might be a good buy, for the right person. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296820789438?itmmeta=01JCVM2GW6NQYE3XKJBJBHSJDF&hash=item451be5d0be:g:JPoAAOSw-i9nOKBo&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4Mxmj%2BiGvOveHXEBClPb29jcPdZS0U%2FhoxGGFDlyxhorp7wmmdS0A3yTa8oWoGF9x8QRUrt57OX5cQRTz5PBTgB2dO9ptJkipvpmeBAR7AnHfrwBCvcJBnj4D4kX2Uq%2B8BYDvIWlq%2FszaccdUOa3Jn89e3hY%2Ft9tRZgDYb2G3uh%2BOypX4R45roTG5k3HBz91I16Y%2BmpfbRl8FWF9k683o00tr9UJ0VZTkgDrVUQk46NtnLNqbnmxtGKTm5YrKb%2BFY1N09RTm%2FI%2FrTqZaoF2rt0nGbFsGcba%2FnpsfY29XlX4i|tkp%3ABk9SR5aOivTmZA
  6. I suspect that sometimes it's because the lower "lobe" of the headstock has been broken off.
  7. I'd missed this entirely. I'm glad it's going in the right direction. Good luck!
  8. Network, network, network. The guys who decide you're not right for them might know someone who's perfect for you.
  9. You'd only have to flip the drilling jig round, though. I reckon you're most of the way there.
  10. £300 for a boot to pour p*ss out of... dear oh dear.
  11. Didn't happen. I'm trying to get the band leader to tell me what's going on.
  12. Someone's bitsa. Lots of work for little return, in my opinion. But it might be useful if you wanted a test rig. Or a way to distract yourself from something pretty serious - trying to get the wiring right would take me months. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335623927661?itmmeta=01JAGZHVKT3YP1DSHPSSKXVR5A&hash=item4e24beb76d:g:xHMAAOSwCNhnEXIW&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4Mxmj%2BiGvOveHXEBClPb29iM7VO2hZuLJ3Urgf0AV%2BhVoQBuANFcXzBqegu9ad8Sm%2FFsTALLQEWVZNcbLHBDfGW7SwED01EHfWWoa7X1cCCh%2FjOLi5F5rMlkSB29o56qisGMW1D5wFtXwkvH3JC6TLETjpUjHhZUORR9kR0h4WRYEsYnUNcsxWchpvw%2B5VnlV6VzU%2B%2F0KpsXc88qMM1sZWeexPHUfSPfmBAeeMxktKQ7ndGPBYVsKQjIciOq77LGEqJ5xVGUY3GVSeBcd0HbD8%2BUO0Jpcc2qxuqd2G50fxBN|tkp%3ABk9SR_65x5_UZA

    I bought straplocks from Stu. All went well, quick and straightforward. I'd be happy to trade with him again. Thanks Stu.
  14. I bought a Kindle from Chris. All good, a nice clean quick transaction with no issues. I'd be pleased to trade with him again. Thanks Chris
  15. Don't know. Most strings I buy are second-hand, so it's impossible to tell.
  16. I bought a strap from Andy. All went well and I'd be happy to deal with him again. Thanks Andy!
  17. I bought a sixer bridge from Michael. Very quick, sensible packing. This is the second time I've dealt with him and I'd be pleased to trade again. Cheers!
  18. Mike sold me a Harley Benton fretless. A nice simple prompt transaction. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks Mike.
  19. Somebody saw the word "axe" used to describe a guitar, and took it way too literally.
  20. Thanks John. Unfortunately I can't play mandolin; I was wondering about it as a gift for my bandmate - he's just retired (so I'd have an excuse :) ) and his existing mandolin is a nasty piece of tat which won't stay in tune (and has no pickup so has to be recorded with a microphone). As usual I'm trying to solve my problems by spending money on them
  21. Ah OK. That makes sense given the date; LEDs were still a bit flaky then, IIRC.
