    Second-hand Yamaha RBX200F. They are reasonably common, they cost about £100, and mine at least is lovely.

    Sold.

    I bought a fretless jazz-style neck from Will. Very quick and efficient, with good comms and good packing. Good deal. I'd be happy to deal with him again. Thanks Will

    hi folks - delays due to domestic issues (and knowing zip about cameras...) - pics hopefully Weds. Sorry about that. And yes, it's got a maple fretboard.

    Gone subject to the usual.

    I'm never going to use this, and TBH I can't honestly say it works - still in the box it was in when I got it, never tried to do anything with it. So far as I can tell they don't fetch anything. So, free to a good home. You pay postage. A contribution to BC would be appreciated. PM, please.

    I'll sort a picture out. Might take a day - cameras are not my strong suit.

    Neck and scratchplate for an Epiphone Blackbird. Scratchplate is clear plastic with Tbird/cross logo. Good condition. Neck is black and has Iron Cross-style MOP inlays. Tuners and trussrod cover included. Sides and corners of heel have been sanded to narrow it (by about a millimetre each side). Heel has been redrilled to fit another body. Otherwise in excellent condition (very minor scuffs on tip of headstock). £25 plus postage. PMs, please.

    Sounds like a hopelessly lazy "promoter" to me. He should do his own hard work. OTOH, if your band was to put on a gig within range of me (I'm in Poole), I would probably come along...

    I have a Westfield P bass, hot pink body, maple board, black/white/black scratchplate; pickup and electrics working. It has the following faults: - one tuner is slightly bent. - one tuner screw is missing. - the end/bridge strap pin has been punched into the body perhaps 3mm. - there is a small dent in the back of the neck behind the 8th fret. It is on the upper curve, so I doubt it would be an issue. - frets need dressing. - the body has a small crack in the neck pocket (upper horn). - there are minor scuffs and scratches on the body. There are no strings on it at the moment. I wouldn't play it as it is, because of the frets. Therefore, offered as a project or for parts. Good for a cheap backup, perhaps. I will only ship with the neck removed. £40 posted. Link to pics below

    One white; one black. Both are four-string, pre-slotted. Unused. Both have had packaging trimmed. Should fit jazz neck - 39.5mm long. £7 posted each, £11 posted the pair.

    I bought a Steinberger headless from Paul. The transaction was difficult and I wound up asking for BC moderator intervention. (Many thanks to Johngh, he's been superb.) I paid for the bass on 7th January; nothing happened. I asked for an update (twice) and on 19th January got an apologetic PM explaining that there had been problems in his personal life and promising to send the bass ASAP. Nothing happened. On 30th January I started this thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/198147-how-long-should-i-wait-before-i-start-asking-for-moderator-help/"]http://basschat.co.u...moderator-help/[/url] Johngh PMed Paul on 31st Jan, and had no reply. Paul eventually PMed me on Monday 4th February, telling me he was on his way to send the bass, and promising tp update me. I received no update. The bass arrived on Tuesday, as I was writing a PM asking Paul if he'd actually sent the bass. I know that Paul is in the throes of major personal issues at the moment, so I don't want to condemn him. However, I will say: Deal with caution.

    So, it takes 34" bass strings? :ponders:
  20. alyctes
    That is utterly bonkers.

    Skill is one thing, musicianship is another. Being a functioning human is a third. They are not necessarily mutually inclusive.

    [quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1360107864' post='1965095'] You've never owned a Precision is you have to ask how the saddle screw came out. [/quote] is that bad?

    Aaaand, result Bass arrived today, well packaged and looking good. A look at the electrics and trussrod will have to wait till tonight, but it's here and looking quite pretty Thanks again to Johngh for his efforts, and to everyone here who offered. It's very nice to be part of a community

    My son, age 6: "Dad, what is mould?" Me, half annoyed: "Mould is what happens to boys who don't eat their dinner..." Son: "No, I mean the [u]other[/u] kind of mould..." Got me bang to rights
