Nah, it was 100% gone, so it's been put back. Interesting.

Looks like Bassbros are "giving one away" https://competitions.bassbros.co.uk/product/sterling-by-music-man-joe-dart-artist-series/ At £2.29 a ticket and 549 tickets available, I think £1,250 odd makes this the most expensive one i've seen 😅

That sounds like good news! Not joking, I stopped using Dual Lock after I sold 4-5 pedals all fitted with it at once and decided to try and remove it, it took hours! If they've made it more friendly, sounds good to me!

What I find worse with Dual Lock is getting it off a pedal if you ever need to, selling it etc, the adhesive is wicked!

Yup, cheers.

The automatic positive feedback idea is good, as lazy/inconsiderate buyers do my head in, the rest not so much, but at the end of the day you're choosing to use their service to sell your item. It's up to them what service they offer you, and yeah, walk away and use something else if it doesn't suit. I avoid selling on eBay due to their incredibly buyer-biased approach, and their hidden policy to side with the buyer EVERY time. It makes selling unworkable unless you can afford to throw money away on return postage for buyers who figure out how easy it is to force a return.

try another, maybe? The scratch could be indicative of it already having been returned before for being a dud.

Doesn't sound right, even the most basic of mutton circuit clones should have more than enough range to stop it from triggering.

I'd still like one of these, but its £399 odd for a Ray 4 (closest core line bass) and that one comes with an active preamp. £575 is just too much for what it is, which is a shame.

£4k for a refinished Wal that's had its electrics messed with? Sounds like a scam, just perhaps not the usual Gumtree kind...

Profiteerers.

Outstanding work, bravo! Million dollar question - do you take commissions?!

You fell in love with the cheapest of the bunch! Bodes well

Common them here, but this, a Wal Mk2 Sold it for the right reasons, and there have been dozens of times I'd have likely sold it again, but there was nothing like that tone. And, naturally, its value now compared to then is painful, even with the profit I made on it at the time.

That'd be the horses for courses bit And ah, maybe I am thinking of another licensed Bart then, perhaps the BH-1? Edit* quick google search seems to suggest there have been MK1's with split coils and humbuckers, not too surprising!

They may do, but from first hand experience, they are muddy, dull and lifeless, lacking any character, or "colour", to redeem them. I ripped out BH-2's (very similar to MK1s) from an Ibanez and replaced with a full US bart setup, night and day difference, totally transformed the bass. Horses for courses I guess!

To be fair, there is a big pickup/preamp upgrade there. Licensed Barts are generally awful, US Bart setup is incomparable. But not a lot else.

Sounds fantastic, what a band too!
