Kev

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1445910630' post='2895363'] The one that really pisses me off "will travel 25 miles radius for petrol money" If somebody want's to sell Kev, IMO, they need to be willing to show a little compromise AND put a big effort into it. Asking for petrol money (especially in that instance, a fivers worth) is (again IMO) putting a barrier up to the sale. Say I live 70 miles away and want to buy something. If I'm happy to drive 45 miles to meet up, the seller really should be prepared to drive 25 miles at no extra charge, to meet up. Of course people can set whatever terms and charges they wish. But it might be an idea for them to look at it from a potential buyers point of view. I'm hoping wholeheartedly I'm finished buying/trying/selling. To achieve that I will need to STOP LOOKING AT BLOODY PICTURES in the "Basses for sale" [/quote] Completely agree about those kind of distances, and agree that if the buyer is travelling too then there should be no contribution expected. However, if a buyer in Scotland wants me to deliver their bass to them ( I am in Warwickshire) as they don't trust couriers and they don't drive themselves , offering to do so for petrol money is imo perfectly acceptable.

What a bizarre thread. There are umpteen reasons why the weight of a bass may be very important to people. For me, I have found a bass's tone to be very much linked with its weight, and as such as a general rule I don't like super lightweight basses, so I tend to go as heavy as my back will allow. I have happily played a 13lb Warwick, and have been disappointed with a 7lb Warwick. I am sure there are others who are like me, and equally I am sure there are others who think the opposite and light basses sound 'better'. I am sure there are people who would also say weight has no impact on tone. And of course, there is the most common reason in that people who have issues with their back simply cannot play basses over 9lb. All quite simple really. For me, there is nothing 'baffling' at all about people asking about the weight of an instrument.

Just purchased a bass from Chris. Despite my attempts at trying to get him lost (managed to give him my address wrong!) he found me and the bass is a corker. Cheers!

Need to get out there so looking for a cover band to join. I would list what I know but to be honest I am happy to play most stuff and would be able to learn a set pretty quickly Rock band preferably, leaning towards heavier stuff rather than poppy, but generally I will do anything! Ideally my age group (mid-late twenties), but again, happy to try anything. Will have my own gear, have my own transport and happy to assist others. Shoot me a pm!

Something is wrong here. It takes about 10 seconds to find out how much a Wal is worth, in the incredibly unlikely event that he would not know how much his own instrument may be worth. Why would he sell it for so cheap, and of course on Gumtree as opposed to Ebay or any other more lasting advertisement? Stolen? I don't know, but in this day and age, and after having been told by someone its true value (which was bang on)...

[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1444564117' post='2884092'] I found that review quite negative! Still comes out well though [/quote] If you check out the guys comments on the Talkbass thread, it certainly wasn't intended to be negative He is a big fan of the Cali so I think he was always going to compare it negatively to that, however for me the compressors are not comparable. Different pedals, to be honest I would rather like both! Would be happy to use a Cali as an 'effect' as opposed to an always on comp. Sadly I sold mine to fund the DG, but out of the two I certainly prefer the DG.

I think he means the amount of pedalboard space it takes up. Rotate the Keeley 90 degrees and it probably is the same size ish. It's a great review by Ovnilabs, slightly surprised at the emphasis he places on the dark valve like tone he gets from it. I find the pedal very transparent, with increased emphasis on lows and a tiny attenuation of highs. But to most people, it just sounds exactly like your tone.

[quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1443988931' post='2879302'] I want to know if someone wants to buy my bass before I decide if i will sell to the person who wants to buy my bass. If no one wants to buy my bass then I wasn't selling it anyway. [/quote]

GAS See a bass you like, wonder if you can sell a bass you have never contemplated selling before quick enough to buy it, if no interest withdraw it quickly and pretend it never happened....and then list it for sale a month later anyway.

Why a 4 string? Why a 6 string? Why a bass?
