    [quote name='Ian Savage' timestamp='1372686677' post='2128535'] Usually, yes. It's what makes me love a large proportion of the music that I love (Springsteen, Gaslight Anthem, Counting Crows etc al particularly jump to mind) as opposed to just 'liking' it. The line in Bobbie Jean about calling up 'not to change your mind, but just to say I miss you baby; good luck, goodbye' makes my chest tighten just typing it. Yes, I'm a wuss. And yes, I know it's written about a man [/quote] This.

    If you do do a defret, remember to change the nut

    I liked #8... I went to see a well-known folk-rocker last year, and I heard him say stuff I'd seen directly quoted in a newspaper review of a London gig a week earlier. IMO, that's going a little far with the choreography, Richard.

    Is this free-standing (a pedal or a rackmount), or does it need fitting to the bass? (soldering, etc.)

    Purple Palmer B-05 unlined fretless five-string, in need of TLC. Selling because I don't need it and I don't get on with the neck. With a little work it would make a reasonable backup or starter fretless five. Various minor scars. No significant marking to the fingerboard. There is a crack from the B-string tuner to the edge of the headstock. It is stable and has had thin superglue run into it; there is minor overspill on the surface. There are dents along the top edge of the neck, probably done with a pencil point, showing fret positions. Passive pickups. Electrics are noisy (fizzy, not crackling); probably in need of shielding. Strings are unused Status Hotwire flats (new on 15 months ago, and not played since). Pics here: [url="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/alyctes/library/Palmer%20B-05%20fretless?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1295.photobu...s?sort=3&page=1[/url] Apologies for the dust. £50 plus carriage. PMs, please.

    I have a Cirrus BXP 4, which I believed to be a 34" till I actually measured it. Give it a go

    [quote name='jmchich' timestamp='1372515447' post='2126683'] So, err... When was your last polynesian nose flute recital? [/quote] More to the point, when's the next one?

    what's all that orange tape for?
  14. alyctes
    If that goes for £35 it'll be worth it for the bits...

    also, IIRC Julian Cope had a problem which sounded like this. I think he gave up bass though... !?!

    With all due respect: I'm wondering if "can't afford lessons at the moment" is the real problem here? Because it sounds as if you're depressed, to me. (I base that guess on bitter personal experience.) Other question: is everyone else in the band still happy? hth
  17. alyctes
    interesting... that's got to shorten the battery life? if so, how much?

    If it's a Rickenbacker or Rick copy, you can't advertise it or sell it here. Otherwise, your best bet would be to post in the Bass Guitars subforum for advice on pricing, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/forum/16-bass-guitars/"]http://basschat.co.u...6-bass-guitars/[/url] (If it's a Rick or Rick copy, doing that might be construed as advertising, so you might find it was politely deleted.) Photos will help. Or, you could post in the For Sale section (there, photos are essential). In my opinion, if it doesn't sell in a fortnight, you're pricing it too high. If it sells in a day, you priced it too low...

    how is this still here?
  22. alyctes
    Yup.

    [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1371408017' post='2113514'] Pinned in each Marketplace forum is a notice regarding locked threads. It makes perfectly clear that if anyone has an old advert that is still valid, all it takes is a PM and it'll be unlocked. If I'm sat at my PC when the request arrives then it gets actioned within a minute - and that includes writing a PM back to the person to let them know it's been done. We really couldn't have made it any easier. [/quote] Ian did exactly this for my flightcase ad, very quickly.

    well, if that lot isn't enough of a welcome, there's not much I can do... welcome aboard
