Update: my mate sold me a Squier Sonic Precision for £100, and I put the neck from my Squier Jazz on it, and it was a dead-on fit.

 

Put a set of La Bella flats on, added a tugbar and a 3-ply pickguard, and it's just an amazing bass, I had no idea a Precision with a Jazz neck would be the perfect bass for me but I have a feeling that this is. Blown away at how great a bass can be for Harley Benton money. And, it's blue 👍

Glad it worked out for you.

Every P bass I've ever owned has had a J neck fitted to it, for me, it's the perfect combination.🙂

Hope this helps.

I love Lynyrd Skynyrd and saw them at Knebworth in 1976, but I dislike Sweet Home Alabama and Free Bird, and yet I liked them at the time.

Maybe it's because too many of the cover bands I've seen over the years play them badly.😉

Is this still available?

But I don't know, it is on page 1 now, so I can't tell what is wrong.

The reason it's on page 1 now is because Aidan63 commented on my listing pushing it onto page 1.

I can't bump it until just over 24 hours, then I will update the situation.

Ah, now that give me a thought.

 

@Woodinblackprior to today, that post did not have any activity since April.  Does the Bump functionality only temporarily make the listing rise for 36 hours, after which it drops back to whatever position it should be based on last activity date?  As that would explain what's happening with this one.

 

Now that makes sense, but if that is the case, it makes no sense at all to have a bump system that only lasts 36 hours.

I'm bumping it every couple of days thinking that's all I need to do to keep it visible to everyone.🤔

Can I ask people not to comment on my listing for the next couple of days so that when it's time to bump it, it should be around four or five, if it's nowhere to be seen, I will take a screenshot of every page I look at to show exactly what I mean.

Cheers.

That's the one.👍

I have no idea, I haven't looked at your item. My ibanez that I bumped a few days ago is on page 5, which would seem reasonable. I looked on page 21 of that forum, I don't see anything by you, or page 20/22 but it would be odd if it was that far back, everything there is all sold. without knowing what your items is or any other details I can't really say much more but it doesn't seem to be like what i am seeing here

I think that what you have just said just confirms to me that something is not quite right, earlier today I couldn't find my listing, admittedly, I only searched the pages as far as page 12 because I only bumped it a couple of days ago, it was only when Dad3353 informed me that he found it on page 21, I immediately went to page 21, and sure enough, there it was, so both Dad and me saw it, but now it's nowhere to be seen on page 21, I even tried pages 22 through to 30 just in case its moved.

So where has it gone from page 21?

Just now, Kev said:

Because other people are bumping and posting in theirs.

 

If you have a specific example, link it in here before bumping it next time so we can make sure it appears as expected 

I don't understand why other people bumping theirs would affect my listing, as I said, after I bump it, it appears on page one immediately, and I know that it will gradually go down the listings as more people bump and list new items for sale, but what I'm saying is that my listing is disappearing completely after a couple of days, I've scrolled through every page as far as page 20 and I can't see it, so even allowing for other peoples new ads and bumps, surely there is no way my listing is ever going to be much further down than page 4 or 5 after just a couple of days.

If you bump it, it goes to the top with nothing else, that is its only point.

Yes that's what I've always thought, and what always done.

My question is:

Why can't I find my posts after a couple of days, they are disappearing on all devices and browsers, the only way I can find it when I want to bump it, is to search for it, and Dad3353 could only find it on page 21, why is that if I am bumping it every couple of days?

Could a Mod please clarify that when you bump a for sale listing, do we also need to comment to get it seen on page one again?

Thanks

I can't see any 'Bump' posts between the original ad and the comment added by Aidan. What do you mean by 'Bump'..? Do you add a comment, usually, or simply edit the ad itself..? 

I just click on "bump this topic" every couple of days, are you saying that if I don't comment at the same time, then nobody will see it on the first pages again?

I wonder if this is down to the recent change which means we can only scroll through pages by using next, there is no shortcut to page 2, 3, 4 etc.. visible

I have commented on the post being discussed so now it is at the top..

It's now showing on my MacBook Pro and all other devices because you made a comment, so does that mean it only shows briefly after I bump it, and then disappears into obscurity after a day or two if no one makes a comment?

I'm confused!🤔

After I "bump" it, I can see it at the top pf page one, but after a day or two, it disappears.

If others can't see it until page 21, then could there be a problem with the "bumping" system?

I can see the ad when I scroll through that section of the Forum, on page 21 (April 25, sorted by Last Updated...) on my PC, using Chrome. 

Yes, I've just skipped to page 21 and I can see it, but I'm "bumping" it very couple of days, so it should be showing before page four or five I would have thought?

If you read a topic it doesn't show up in 'unread content' until there's a new post, even if it's one of your own threads. Not sure if that's the problem or if it's something that can be changed in settings 

I don't think that is the case with this because sometimes I scroll through the pages and I can see it, but quite often it's nowhere to be seen.

No-one has made any comments on the item, so the status should be the same every time I look for it.

At this very moment, I can't find it, I've gone as far as page twelve, but I only "bumped" it a couple of days ago, so it should only be on page four or five at most I would have thought?

I've had an item listed in "Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale" for a few months now, and more often than not, it's not showing when I scroll through the pages.

The only way I can find it is if I do a search in that particular forum.

I've tried other devices and browsers and still can't see it listed on those either.

Any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks

You should ask this in site news and questions rather than general bass

Probably, but I just wondered whether other BC'ers are experiencing the same issue.

Update.

I bumped my item a couple of days ago, but when I look for it, it's nowhere to be seen, I've tried various devices and browsers, the only way I can find it is if I go into "Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale" and search for it.

Why is this happening?

Thank you The Brig, I totally appreciate your knowledge 🙏 I think it's going to be a Squier neck on a Fender body, which probably doesn't happen too often, (and it means I'll never be able to try and pass it off as a Fender so my conscience is clear) but if I can fettle it I'll be very happy 👍

You're welcome meterman, I've fitted a few squier necks to Fender bodies with no problems at all 👍

I've built at least twenty Precision basses with Jazz necks over the years, and providing they are Fender or Squier necks and bodies, or Fender "licensed" like Mighty Mite, then they will all fit perfectly. 🙂

You might be able to mark it sold, just sayin’

I've sold many items through the marketplace and I usually keep well on top of everything, especially once an item is sold, but sometimes there are circumstances that means that you can't always update things immediately.

I briefly answered Faithless informing him that it is "sold" whilst at the funeral of a dear friend yesterday, I certainly didn't want to spend any more time on my phone at the time updating the post, and I fully intended to mark it as "sold" first thing this morning, which I'm now about to do.

The buyer paid me promptly yesterday morning before I had to go out to the funeral, and I explained to him that I will be out all day yesterday and that I will ship the item this morning to him, in which he was fully understanding.
