I bought a couple of pedals from Tim. Prompt, good packaging, all as advertised. I'd be happy to deal with him again. Thanks Tim

I bought some strings from Daniel. All went well and I'd be happy to deal with him again. Thanks Daniel

Damn it,. I keep forgetting to change the title... Now I'll have to leave it. Bah, humbug.

Mm. Suspicious, for sure. Why wouldn't you sell it for the higher price?

The blue ones are much prettier IMO

No clue about this one. Anyone know? There are several ads, so this may not be "used" or "vintage". https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405074815505?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20231107084023%26meid%3D098e094b7afc4ba2872ec5e301e6e2b4%26pid%3D101875%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D176451606755%26itm%3D405074815505%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DSimplAMLv11WebTrimmedV3MskuWithLambda85KnnRecallV1V2V4ItemNrtInQueryAndCassiniVisualRankerAndBertRecallWithVMEV3EmbeddedAuctionsCPCAutoWithCassiniEmbRecallManual%26brand%3DVintage&_trksid=p4429486.c101875.m1851&itmprp=cksum%3A405074815505098e094b7afc4ba2872ec5e301e6e2b4|enc%3AAQAJAAABgP9d%2BMZSXlztIfYFu3kI%2B7ft0VcQix7rTrUVdiJwc2upzwLfM%2B2UEqu0ZqdXqu2qWe6up6s9MSEY%2BWikIwEh4xLkizL%2BG%2Fyhg6cdW4xfkbb75erVQBYYISNxGN1au%2BE0eJ778JYYSAyLJRupNiZky3B2UHpMsaEp7JRgW9fuueOszPlG9eCPE4mSzJx4EejjZE0v1xx3s4HgKujjhEB3s6kdrBGms27nBOE8uaX7mmYUC%2BfE8qUxFWj8zQj3krJzad%2BvgGelTuGD25wKpAxqtEQxdO0D4K%2BE38kKj6Sqs5xZXa%2Fu7B3JOKVZiY9u%2BeAkbTcJTKOR7BbwoqEUFj9BOEMa71bO0KQZ103kwpRm3D4RV7YfIjwUQnT82sUM456P9xWTCtbJDqyqsNazXjgTBOFHu287hyWF4WsK9CeFw4aVtcAyxVS5qQ0taXmJFcNq5SVl78vd5KKhH1LJwUxG3HeE0oPIzLYRUBvsVt3s0fMM8Y6MOmWbfYQO08Bck95%2BRg%3D%3D|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A4429486&itmmeta=01J229A9YZXBDKCR68G1FG5TZX

I bought strings and two nuts from Gareth. This is probably the sixth time we've traded, and he remains as he always has been - one of the good guys. Thanks Gareth!

Yamaha BEX 4, if you can find one to fit your budget. AndyTravis has one for sale at the moment; whether he'd ship to Denmark I don't know, but it's worth asking.

"The 6-string configuration makes for a comfortable fit ..." There is no way I'd deal with this idiot.

Sold, apparently for £500.

... if only because of the colour - which I quite like. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266846602607?itmmeta=01HZPWVT5C3Y8R5W7A7CCW4GP2&hash=item3e214c056f:g:b5QAAOSwkM5mYPg8

Good idea. I think that's probably the first thing to try. Thank you.

Yes I do. It appears to be in its designed position. The bass is a rather battered Vox White Shadow; the top horn is pointed and I'd be quite uneasy about putting the button there. The bass does have some neck dive. I'm thinking of sidestepping the whole problem by adding a strap rail instead, a bent-up aluminium strip attaching at the two button locations and extending the upper position up the neck (with some padding to stop it scarring the back of the body). It wouldn't be terribly pretty, but it's not a terribly pretty bass.

I have a bass with a strap pin on the back of the body. I'd like to replace it with a straplock, but not something which digs into my beergut. What's the lowest-profile straplock I can get? Thanks

Thanks, gentlemen. A BBOT would be adequate for my first hack at it - I foresee this being one of those things which I spend far too much money on for very little practical return, and my ignorance means it will probably require a couple of goes.

I have a project in mind. Can I use a six-string guitar bridge for a bass, or do basses need a different design (weight, strength, size, ...)? Thanks in advance

Maybe it's just me? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266841131451?itmmeta=01HZD20Z2QS163J5DPR3EANT8X&hash=item3e20f889bb:g:MGAAAOSwTyJmXC9Z

I haven't run across these before. Looks to be a cut above the fairly basic ones which pop up now and again. (Also an interesting feedback entry, if anyone reads them.) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226170883704?itmmeta=01HZ7XZDTMXKR84NFXQP6S053K&hash=item34a8d5ce78:g:tYMAAOSwFIVmWe1Z

Perhaps he's trying to sell to someone he already knows, but it has to look like a random punter? Which probably means he's not really selling.
