Come and try it for yourself, it really is a great instrument!

Come and try it for yourself, you wont be disappointed!

Me and the guitarist never have any notes or prompts at rehearsals or gigs, we learn the songs properly at home, and turn up knowing the songs in our heads.

The vocalist and drummer both have their notes/lyrics in front of them all the time at rehearsals and gigs, and yet they still cock up if they glance elsewhere, even for a few seconds.

I honestly think that its a case of, if you have notes and prompts in front of you, then you come to rely on them, in their case, I think they are also just too lazy to learn the songs properly I'm afraid.

C'mon, this beauty needs a new home!

I respect all your views, and I get all that about you should be more careful and do your homework etc, but I just feel for the people who aren't that clued up, or might have learning difficulties or whatever.

I guess it looks like I'm just an over-caring, naive sort of person who hates people being taken advantage of, even if sometimes, it is their own fault.

I have a p bass body and a status stingray neck . I am thinking of putting them together . My question is do I move the bridge or recut the pocket. Any help would be great
[/quote]I have two precisions with Status graphite necks on, I purchased them direct from Status and they fitted perfectly onto my P bass bodies, they also play and sound great to my ears, very articulate, but not cold sounding as some people might say.

You say you refer P's, so it sounds like you want a P with a graphite neck, rather than a Stingray with a graphite neck, so if it was me, I would sell the Stingray neck which is unused, so you should get a good price for it, and put the money towards a new graphite neck from Status which should just slot into your P bass body, job done!

But if it was [u]really me[/u], I would almost certainly buy a Stingray body to fit the Stingray neck you already have, and then buy a Status graphite neck to fit the P body you already have.

I would then have a P and a Stingray both fitted with graphite necks!

Well, in the old days where there was only one or two stores available near one's home it would be natural for someone looking to buy gear to have to settle for the available stock and price tags.
In this case you're reporting my opinion is if anybody is capable to use a computer and payment technology to buy a bass from e-bay then they surely have the ability to use google. If they get ripped off it's their fault (darwin selection). This doesn't take from the attitude of that seller, he's clearly not an honest person.
[/quote]I think that it's a bit too simplistic to say it's the buyer's "own fault".

For example, my wife has a laptop, and occasionally she buys the odd item online, but when I check what she's bought, I often find the item cheaper elsewhere, this is not because she doesn't know how to turn the laptop on, or has not heard of Google, it's just that she does not know how to use these things properly, and how to get the best out of what they have to offer.

We all log onto BC regularly which means we all have the necessary knowledge to get that far, but there are different levels as to what we can do, look how often people admit to not knowing how to upload a picture, or to add a YouTube or eBay link, that doesn't make them stupid, or do they deserve to be ripped off should they dare be brave enough to make an online purchase.

If I was to casually mention that I would like to have that bass for my birthday, my wife ([i]providing I'm in her good books at the time[/i]), might go on eBay and see that bass and buy it for me, she might have even had look at other Ibanez SR's costing a lot more, but because they all look pretty much the same to an untrained eye, she my think that's a fair price.

Does she deserve to be ripped off just because she only has a basic knowledge of using a computer, and didn't spend hours on Google first?

I don't suppose this is really anything to do with me, but I just hate seeing people getting ripped off!

I was just casually going through the basses for sale on eBay when I noticed this [b]Ibanez SR500[/b] for sale at [b]£886.02[/b]

[url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-SR500-Bass-Guitar-in-Brown-Mahogany-/231961657319"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-SR500-Bass-Guitar-in-Brown-Mahogany-/231961657319[/url]

So I contacted them thinking they have made a typing error with the price, since then, we have had a couple of conversations, and here's how the conversations went:

[b]Me:[/b]
[i]These are £529.00 BRAND NEW everywhere.[/i]
[i]How can you justify asking £886.02?[/i]

[b]Seller:[/b]
[i]Hello,[/i]
[i]I'm sorry I can't do anything about the price as we work on very low margins.[/i]
[i]Thanks for looking.[/i]
[i]Best Regards,[/i]
[i]Charisse[/i]
[i]Customer Support[/i]

[b]Me:[/b]
[i]Hi, and thanks for getting back to me.[/i]
[i]I originally asked the question because I thought it must be a genuine mistake, but now all I can say is that I hope no unsuspecting person who is not aware of what the RRP is on these basses, doesn't make a very expensive mistake and purchase this bass from you without looking around first.[/i]
[i]As for working on very low margins, you could buy these at the retail price of £529 and still make a profit of £357.02 on each bass![/i]

[b]Seller:[/b]
[i]Hi,[/i]
[i]Good day![/i]
[i]I will forward your concern and keep you posted.[/i]
[i]Thank you[/i]
[i]Best Regards,[/i]
[i]Charisse[/i]
[i]Customer Support[/i]

I've just read all their negative feedback and I now realise that they are actually advertising on eBay, waiting for someone to make and pay for an order, then ordering the item from Amazon and sending them on, which is a form of drop-shipping I suppose.

They are doing nothing illegal, and I don't begrudge anyone trying to make a living, but this sort of mark-up is obscene!

Or is it just me?

I'm amazed this has not sold yet, apart from being in ab fab condition, it is also one of the better 70's P's that plays and sounds great!

[b]SONAR 8 Producer + Power Studio[/b]

If you are looking at this, then I'm guessing you know what it's all about, because I don't!

To make matters worse, it cost me almost [b]£500![/b]

I bought this from Digital Village a few year's ago thinking that somehow I will get to know how to use this piece of software.
The furthest I got was recording my guitar and bass into it, but I didn't have a clue what to do next, so here it is, up for sale!

Please make sure this is compatible with your system, it's 32 bit & 64 bit.
