i guess that's where the banner advertising comes in.
lots of forum based classifieds are free - gearslutz for example. -
i don't know that one. ask santa for a turntable and give it another go?!

Any vinyl lovers here?!
Just bought this new old stock beautiful [b]Stanton 680ee[/b] cartridge and stylus - brand new unplayed!
I have carefully installed it and it has had no more than 4 hours play.
I bought several cartridges in a fit of GAS and so I'm going to move this on as its not that different to my previous 500 cartridge (which also sounds great).
just paid £104 (imported from USA) so i'm looking for £80 posted.
this was the listing on ebay that i purchased, you'll see its only a couple of weeks old:
[url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370609570474"]http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=370609570474[/url] -
i'd prefer to see additional banner advertising rather than commission.
there is a community feel to this forum and any sales i've been involved in have been almost always terrifically polite and well organised.
personally i'd like to leave it as is. -
don't like the new 'classified' section AT ALL!!
now we've got two sections to sell??! and the picture uploader doesn't work today in either place - basic or advanced
can we just have the old sales forum please? don't like the new 'gumtree' style of the new section. it wasn't broken - why is it getting 'fixed'??! -
This is hardly used, and for one good reason - its rubbish.
Some ok sounds wrapped up in the cheapest, most unintuitive drum machine ever to grace the face of the earth.
The pads are like cushions, totally unresponsive, soft and yet hard to push.
I've had several drum machines over the years and this is the worst by a long way. How its become the best selling machine ever is beyond me.
I paid £60 from ebay. Its in almost mint condition as the guy that had it before me obviously hated it too. I have spent two days using it as a glorified metronome.
[b]Yours for £40 posted, i just want it out of my sight!![/b]
Hardly used excellent condition, original PSU, box, v3.0 software. -
great thanks.

I have a medium scale (32) japanese made Squier P-Bass, serial A0 which i think makes it 85/86.
I was thinking about upgrading the pickups / electronics on this. I don't have another P to compare, so I might be wrong. Does anyone know anything about the quality of pickups/electronics on these?
It has the square edged type of pickups (not the sloping kind), look like standard size to me.
Any pickup recommendations as a starting point?
I'm after an old school P-Bass sound, Meters, Fred Thomas etc.
Cheers

i'm not sure how Nash works - is this a Fender that's been given the Nash treatment? I ask because the Nash's i've seen have Nash on the headstock, but this one has Fender. Looks very cool btw.

still available

the breadcrumb thing has changed - used to say for example
[b]Basschat / Basschat Market Place / Basses For Sale[/b]
now says
[b]Basschat / / / Basses For Sale[/b]
so you can't skip back to the general market place? -
I've recently bought a marvellous Fender Geddy Jazz on this forum.
It has very simple controls - Vol Neck / Vol Bridge / Tone (one knob for both)
I've only ever had a P-Bass so this two pickup thing has taken some investigation...
I always thought that 80% of a pickup is just a quieter version of 100%. But is it??
For example I was of the mind that you either have the neck or bridge on full volume, and dial in the other to taste. But what I've ended up with for the moment is neck on 80% and bridge on 60-70%.
This to my ears sounds different to neck on 100% bridge on 90%, if you see what i mean. It seems like the last 10 to 20% of the volume really changes the tone even if you're only running one pickup - obviously it makes it louder but even if i turn down the amp to compensate it seems to make it brighter and harder.
Am i imagining things here?
Anyway, just thought some of you might like to chip in with thoughts about how you like to work your two pickups on the Jazz...
Cheers
Ted -
sounded good to me. i never had the main gain above about 4 or 5, compressor was good, and the eqs seemed very effective.
not had any other amps to compare it to. -
Traded my amp and cab with Herman, great to deal with!
Many thanks
Ted -
i'll PM you to discuss

now traded along with my PF500.
thanks Herman -

that would probably make it 1999-2002 according to fender:
http://www.fender.com/en-GB/support/articles/japanese-instruments-product-dating/
[i]Crafted in Japan[/i] P + 6 digits 1999-2002
[i]made in japan[/i] P+6digits is 93/94.
what a crazy system?!
anyway, thanks, just wanted to be accurate as am having a think about this one
dont like the 'new classifieds' - everything lumped together..nah!

annual fee won't work in my opinion, listing stuff is generally spur of the moment behaviour.
you could get members to pay a fee and only members can list but i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people bailed out.
i would rather pay listing fee, but as mentioned i think you should generate income by alternative ways if possible.
main issues on the new classifieds is that it feels too restricted with the 'questions' 'features' etc. and its quite impersonal but i can't quite work out why. maybe the 'conversation' aspect of the current system is the thing.
at the moment there are enough listings that it doesn't get out of control and its mostly UK based. gearslutz is a nightmare for buying and selling to be honest because its too worldwide and too many users.
