Making sure all voices are heard in an internal chat group

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1506518480' post='3379296']... IME all the serious stuff is done face-to-face in the 15 minutes [b]or less [/b]at the beginning and end of rehearsals while we are setting up or breaking down the gear and everything else can be done by email and or phone calls depending on how time-sensitive it is. [/quote] This ^^, every time [quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1506523811' post='3379336']...everyone checks their phone at least 4 times a day [/quote] Quite the opposite; email is by far the best way to contact me. My 'phone..? I hardly know where it is, most weeks. Sometimes I charge it up, if I remember. -

A very modest affair; despite this, James went the extra mile, posting to France a vintage tuner (no, not the fish, you fool; please keep up..!). Well packed, posted promptly (other delays were due to postal services, out of anyone's control...). Satisfied..? Very much so; a true gent, that bloke. Thanks again, James.

A short Jack-Speakon adapter cable shouldn't be so difficult to obtain, I'd have thought (nod towards BC's obbm, cable-maker extra-ordinaire...).

SOLD Epiphone Jack Casady Gold Top with case (new pics added)
Dad3353 replied to FinnDave's topic in Basses For Sale
Not the best moment for me, for personal reasons, otherwise I'd have arranged a pick-up by a family member in the UK. Ain't it always the way..? ([i]Sigh[/i]... ) Good luck with the sale. -
What forum do you go to first when you log on?
Dad3353 replied to leschirons's topic in General Discussion
The 'Forums' page of 'Content You Follow'. I'll see immediately if any sections need my attention as a Mod (Amps And Cabs For Sale, EUB And Double Bass, Introductions, Tutors Available...), plus any other that I've flagged for my own attention. I'd navigate and 'trawl' depending on what's visible there from then on. -
[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1506432797' post='3378678'] Why don't you flag the posts that bother you? A problem shared... [/quote] Although the Reporting of offensive or out of order posts is encouraged, in this instance it would serve only to increase the number of Reports for little effect, as we (the Mods...) already see, and deal with, posts of the nature complained about here. It's not very visible, I'll grant, but the Reports are no [i]more [/i]visible, so... A nice thought, and if it made any tangible difference would be welcomed, but I doubt its effect on the perpetrators of these heinous deeds. Reporting is, though, by far the best way of bringing stuff to the attention of the Mods and Admins; all Reports are quickly seen and treated diligently.

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1506429542' post='3378652'] Thank you Douglas, I'm sorry I breached regulations, 'cough' I for one appreciate all of your efforts. Tom. [/quote] No need for gushing thanks (although appreciated, all the same...) a simple (large...) cheque in the post does wonders for our morale.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1506425550' post='3378591'] Wise words Douglas, but if the Mods can't get it right, what hope for the rest of us?... [/quote] None whatsoever.

[quote name='NewDad' timestamp='1506425085' post='3378587'] I suspect the choking effect of his massive fingers played a part. Maybe wearing gloves would help. [/quote] Like this, maybe..? http://youtu.be/IF83h5ssyjc

Good afternoon, Tom... We (the Mods...) are on the case, and have been chasing this up for quite some time. There are really two issues here: firstly, as you point out, those who post 'Sold' in their topic, but don't add 'Sold' (or 'Withdrawn', or 'Traded'; those are the only three permitted 'code' words' admitted...) to the title; worse still, for us, are those that remove the title completely, instead of simply ADDING the 'code' word to their title. Sold, OK, but what was it..? Whenever we come across these anomalies we take it up with the OP, to remind them of the Marketplace rules and etiquette. Most folks understand and comply; there are always those few recalcitrant ones that recidivate; we have stronger methods available to us that we're loth to use, but sometimes needs must. For my part, I systematically go through all the 'Open' ads, looking for ads that have got 'Sold' in the topic, but not in the title. Believe me when I say it's a thankless, lacklustre task which takes up quite considerable time, but always throws up older ads that have sold since my last trawl. So much the better for the Seller, but ADDING 'Sold' to the title makes life so much better for all. After all, it's in the interests of every Seller to have up-to-date, pertinent information in the Marketplace, inciting Buyers to browse through and find bargains, isn't it..? I really don't see what more could be done, within the techniques available to us, and without becoming overbearing (we don't want to become too much like the BC Police, despite what some may think..!). Thanks for posting; hope this helps future successful Sellers to understand and comply, for the good of all; meanwhile... Have a nice day Douglas Just for the record, your 'rant' post is, itself, in breach of the Marketplace rules, and as such, will now be moved to a more suitable section...

[quote name='ChunkyMunky' timestamp='1505833482' post='3374637']... [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][font=inherit]PICS:...[/font][/font][/color] [/quote] Nope, no pics; only the dreaded Photobucket Lurgy panel, begging for your money. Try another (free...) photo host (Flickr, Imgur, ImgBB or other...), maybe..? -
[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1506368505' post='3378313'] It's ok, you can send it my address if you win ;-) [/quote] Fine, we'll arrange a mutually acceptable collection time. No need to go to any trouble or anything special, just Earl Grey, please, with a twist of lemon, and Digestives.

Only open to US or UK folks, though.

Nota bene:[color=#0000cd] Information posted by the OP in a later, duplicate, ad, which has been deleted...[/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It's a great sounding P Bass, but I have '62 P Bass, which I keep reaching for so sadly, this one has to go.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've only used it a couple of time outside of my home, so it's had most of its use in the home studio.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It's had a few modifications - The original pickup has been replaced with a Bartolini 8CPB, which is the classic Bartolini P Bass pickup and sounds really fat. The modern badass look-a-like bridge has been replaced by a standard Fender bridge, which I think really suits the classic P Bass look. I have a Rebel Relic lightly aged scratch plate in off white, which I think gives the look of the bass a nice lift (photographs show original scratch plate) and lastly, I've added a tug bar, which finishes of the traditional P Bass look.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Currently strung with D'Addario XL170's the bass plays and sound well. It's previously been strung with Thomastik Infeld Jazz strings, which were a little lighter in gauge and it's played and sounded awesome with that set up.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass comes with the original black factory fitted scratch plate and the Rebel Relic aged plate, Fender gig back and all the bits & pieces that are included in the original sale. The original pickup and bridge aren't included in the sale.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass is ready to go to the first take so no time wasters please.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm based in the North East.[/font][/color]

That's the spirit (but that means you're a lost soul; you realise that, don't you..? )..!

Here's to the next one...

Good evening, Keith... Just to make you aware that we have a a rule on BC restricting bumping of these to once every 36 hours, to make sure all ads get an equal crack of the whip. If you could bear that in mind in future, that would be great. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation, and good luck with the sale; meanwhile... Have a nice day Douglas

Not good timing for me, but this is a very good deal for some excellent software. Good luck with the sale; it's a real bargain.

Advice on trading to a newbie in a foreign country.
Dad3353 replied to edstraker123's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='edstraker123' timestamp='1506263360' post='3377404'] All worked out really well - both couriers delivered in a timely fashion with no damage (The dutch courier was a third of the cost ). Both of us really pleased with our new basses. [/quote] -
You've noticed that the joke post has not been deleted, I trust..? The reminder was just to be sure that others don't take this as a precedent. Now move along, please; you're obstructing the pavement.

Offers and trade propositions posted in 'For Sale' ads are systematically deleted. They are to be made by Private Message (PM...) only. Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
