    Is it.. yours?

    I guess it's not gear if it's a pile of unassembled electronic components components which could be used for anything, until they are used to make a bass pedal...
  3. neepheid
    If the components were already in your possession at the start of the year, then it's all good as far as I'm concerned. Make do an mend/use what you've already got is exactly what this thing is all about.

    No, it's still gear. Otherwise we'd just have people sneaking gear in in dribs and drabs. It doesn't matter if you bought the parts to make gear or just bought gear, it's gear. I appreciate you sneaky wee scamps coming up with schemes though, it's part of what makes this thread amusing!
  5. neepheid
    It's up to your conscience. Are you repairing a dead pedal or something? If you're building from scratch and it's an effects pedal then it's gear, and I'd say you're out. Anyone else want to weigh in?
  6. neepheid
    That's ok, they've jacked the price up too, if that helps with the abstinence...

    Time for a clearout then? Not that I'm eyeing anything up - I'm aff it.

    Same bass, new licks of paint, graphtech nut, cts pots and a gigbag to save you the ballache of finding a T-bird shaped one.. https://www.epiphone.com/en-US/Electric-Bass/Thunderbird-'64/Ember-Red

    Of course, the OP will be turning down their invitation to the RNRHOF. In this perpetual race to the bottom they describe, the committee will get round to the OP eventually, right?

    It's all opinion, innit?
  11. neepheid
    So, you're going to completely sidestep everything I've said then? OK, have fun with the bee in your bonnet, at least it agrees with you

    I take exception to Epiphone being categorised as being simply a trade name for budget gear. I'd hardly call a Jack Casady Signature "budget", and right now they're making better T-birds than Gibson have managed to since the 60s. Furthermore, Gibson bought Epiphone in 1957, so they're taking an awfully long time to kill them off...

    ...like a hole in the head

    I had a 4 string of these, many many years ago. Did my audition for my first originals band with it. Got the gig. Can't be awful then Can't advise on any of the comparisons to Warwick (GER) basses though, that's a bit of a blind spot in my bass experience.
  15. neepheid
    None, I play all my basses on rotation. Any basses which aren't getting played aren't killer and are sold.
  16. neepheid
    What an odd question? Why would someone own a bass they hate? Love/hate?
  17. neepheid
    Appreciated, but does your facetiousness detector require recalibration?
  18. neepheid
    Hmm, perhaps I was lucky. I sold a car last year on FB and had all the extremes - one overpayment scam attempt, one tyre kicker, one ghost, then one genuine buyer who didn't even haggle, paid the advertised price and bought the car.

    Wait... they have standards?
  20. neepheid
    The way I see it, even Fender can't standardise on pickguard layouts between their various factories, so what hope do we have if you then spin it out to non Fender products?
  21. neepheid
    Point 1 - probably Point 2 - probably not
  22. neepheid
    The FB comedy continues - see if you can spot the problem without reading the text, then laugh at the reason why the bass is how it is! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/892478629267895
  23. neepheid
    So, the bass is in Nottingham, but the "seller" lives in Birmingham. Is it this easy to scam people these days?
  24. neepheid
    If they can't tell you the dimensions/weight then they either don't have it, or they don't want to sell it at distance. Also, you think this muppet will package it well if they can't even use a measuring tape? Walk away.
  25. neepheid
    I've messaged them (the "seller" that is, might as well have a laugh)
