This is the email from eBay: Hi Brian We’re continuing our mission to provide you with a great selling experience on eBay, which is why we made it free to sell. Now, we’re enhancing delivery so it’s faster, easier, and more secure for you to send your items. Starting from 15 April, Simple Delivery will be the only delivery method available for private sellers when listing most items. There’ll be a few exceptions, such as low-priced, bulky items, and local pick-up, which aren’t eligible for Simple Delivery. Simple Delivery is our all-in-one delivery solution, designed to cut out all of the effort and save you money. It’s also the fastest way to get paid on eBay. Plus, buyers will benefit from savings and enjoy the peace of mind that tracking offers. Here’s how it works: 1. When listing, we’ll recommend the size and weight of your item. Just confirm and we’ll do the rest. 2. Once your item sells, you won’t need to worry about buying a postage label. Instead, you’ll receive a QR code and prepaid printable label so you can choose what’s easiest. 3. Drop off your item at the nearest carrier location, or schedule a home collection and you’re done! You’ll still be able to choose the carriers by going to Postage Preferences in your account settings. We recommend enabling all carriers for the most competitive postage rates. Simple Delivery offers a faster and easier experience: • Save 20% off postage costs*: Get competitive rates to offer standard and express delivery with Royal Mail and Evri. • Full protection: Enjoy peace of mind with eBay's full coverage for items lost or damaged in transit, where we handle claims with buyers so you don’t have to. • Free postage option: Choose if you want your buyer to pay for the label, or offer free postage and cover the cost. • Prepaid and tracked labels: Labels come with automatic tracking, so buyers always know where their items are, and you get your funds faster. • Flexible labels: Use a QR code for quick printing at drop-off locations, or easily print your own label at home. • Positive feedback: From late April, you’ll automatically receive positive feedback for tracked transactions delivered on time, where no feedback has been left within 7 days and no issues are reported, so you get the recognition you deserve. Learn more about this change. Simple Delivery will apply to new eligible listings by private sellers in the UK, and from 7 April to any existing listings that are eligible. If you selected buyer-paid postage, this will stay the same when your listings are updated. If you’re covering the costs, they’ll be deducted from your sales. Click the button below to see what’s eligible. We’re also updating our User Agreement and eBay delivery Terms and Conditions to reflect these changes. If you have any questions or concerns, just get in touch from the bottom of this page—we’re here to help. Thanks for being part of the eBay community.

Lakland USA Series 44-51 Custom P Bass (38mm Nut) Bargain Price! Because I really need to move this fantastic bass on, I'm now offering it at this ridiculously low price. Following recent spinal surgery, I now believe my gigging days are finally over, it’s been on the marketplace for some time now and I really need to shift it, so I’m offering this fantastic bass at a bargain price. This is a fantastic bass, but I really can't justify owning it anymore, so I would like to see it go to someone who will get some use out of this wonderful bass. This bass plays and sounds absolutely fantastic and is in beautiful condition. If you've ever thought about going down the Lakland route, then you will not get any better than this top-of-range model. These now cost $3680.00 US Dollars, plus import duties etc, and there’s also a very long waiting time, so you could save yourself a lot of money, and a very long wait. Swamp Ash body with Birdseye Maple neck, and it comes with two original Lakland pickguards, one black (fitted), and one tortoiseshell (not fitted). Body Contours: Front and Back. Original Lakland Hard Case included. Weight: 8lb 12oz on my Salter luggage scales. You are welcome to come and try it out at my home in Bridgnorth, Shropshire. I've added a video where you can hear the actual bass in action (please excuse my playing). The bass tracks have been removed from the songs that I'm playing along to, so what you're hearing is the actual bass, and my take on the bass line for each song. I recorded the bass through my Behringer audio interface directly into Reaper, no effects have been added to the recordings.

Yamaha FG420-12A 12 String Acoustic Guitar Due to the onset of arthritis in my hands, back problems, and old age, 😕 I'm now selling off a lot of my gear. Although painful, I can still play bass for short periods, but playing guitar is nigh-on impossible for me now, and I'm not really a guitarist anyway, so I would rather move it on to someone who will use it regularly. It sounds amazing with a big 12-string sound, and is in excellent condition with just a couple of tiny dints that hardly notice which is to be expected on a guitar that's over thirty years old. Very comfortable slim neck (46mm Nut). You are welcome to come and try it for yourself at my home in Bridgnorth. Collection is preferred because I have no case or box to ship it in.

Excellent, I must admit that with any new songs I have to learn, I always use Moises to remove the original bass line for practising, but I think it's great that you are making the tracks available for others to use as well. I've subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Lozz, it was my Lakland Bob Glaub PJ, it was a lovely bass and great to play, but as much as I loved it, I prefer a straight P, there's no need for the extra pickup. imo. 😉 -

Here's my cover of Peaches, I recorded the songs a couple of years ago so I would have to go back and see what effects I used at the time, but I achieved the tone on three different basses, it's not perfect, but I was quite happy with the tone at the time. Peaches - The Stranglers (Bass Cover).mov -

Although my playing isn't great, JJ's tone is achievable (within reason), with a little bit of tweaking, probably good enough in a live situation? The bass has been removed from all these backing tracks, so what you hear is my take on the bass line. No More heroes - The Stranglers (Bass Cover).mp4 Nice n Sleazy - The Stranglers (Bass Cover).mp4 -

I nearly joined a Stranglers tribute band about a year ago but it was too far away unfortunately, but I have managed to learn a few of their songs such as Peaches, No More Heroes, and Nice n Sleazy, etc, the hardest part I found was getting JJ's tone, but I managed to get reasonably close, I think? 🤔 Go for it, JJ's bass lines are great fun to play, and if I can do it, I'm sure you can. 👍 -

I've got a few Precisions and I replace all the P pickups covers with these, the have lovely rounded corners which are far more comfortable than the original covers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154357237429?_skw=pickup+covers&itmmeta=01JM2EDSZ3EKCJ0W1HZYC0KA7A&hash=item23f06886b5:g:GPoAAOSwTfNgQGeh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1fPQSF%2Bz3GPqLCHab2wH%2FO9fJS8JLeejW%2FBZIYNvCHV9nYxoqCavg7xdQA91eJ8YQD60LoO0IVtghaDI2jGwrDRYHPe4v6zUG4n%2FhEeY2jCBVvjhZLN3yudafJBew7A798qZnnzmvy4YDepB1WBPw5yOKPlowRFXD%2B9X9EleLCnz28qL95sJtJQ27CmrPf3CVKkXa2vwTCZ4YOwVuuaEVW57XsO%2FWQRv8hcjJSYa8DsCSTQaidqchbBh%2BTFDYVuwmyapOZAOV8pd03BB9rputeLBThptjamwKoLnaj4xY1Vcg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_Kft86gZQ
