    Bass guitar wall hangers.

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I've had issues with Hercules stands in the past, so have never bothered trying out their hangers. I currently use an Ultimate Support one after seeing Mark at Bass Direct using them and if he can trust them to put his lovely basses on, I'm sure it'll be fine for me! They stick out a bit more than the Hercules ones, but they fold up while not in use and have the same sort of self-closing yoke on them.

    Indeed. I got the new prices through this morning... £48.55 is the new suggested sale price. Quite a hit and it's a bit of a shame, but there are plenty of other brands that will now get a decent share of the coated string market because of this. I've tried both D'Addario EXP's and Rotosound Nexus strings in the past few weeks and have to say that I'm impressed with both for the price. :)

    you cant beat fender, They got it right.....

    Their original design was almost spot on, but much like other inventions, there are now a whole host of other options that beat the original in terms of quality and sound, but for a higher price of course.

    Think you can't beat a Fender? There are hundreds, probably thousands, of custom and off-the-shelf basses from all sorts of companies and luthiers and price points that you haven't tried yet, so that's a bit of a generalisation and I'd urge you to try as many as you can, you might be surprised. ;)

    Exactly. I find it incredible that some people are asking about where those funds will be spent - as if they would be happy to pay them if they were being used for some things, but would not pay if "their" money might be used for something of which they disapprove. I just don't get that. If we were talking about hundreds of pounds, fair enough - but £20 a year? :blink:

    I also find it incredible that people don't seem to understand the sort of audience BassChat attracts on a daily basis in terms of 'viewership'. One of the biggest bass websites in Europe, if not the biggest, and people don't want to fork over £20 for a whole 12 months to be able to sell [b]anything[/b] on here? It's crazy.

    If you're worried about losing £20, then add £20 onto your next sale. I can tell you now, if someone wants your item, an extra £20 won't make a difference. Worried about your item not selling at all? Then why put it up for sale in the first place if you have doubts?

    I've also noticed a drastic increase in the quality of the adverts that are now popping up, now that people care if they sell. It's a lot less frustrating trying to look for tidbits of information and going through several links just to get a crappy little picture you took on your phone.

    Not only that, but there is [i]still[/i] a minority that feel that £20 is somehow a sting to their wallet. What, to support a website with great advice and information, great members, open discussion about music and laughter (mostly at other peoples expense :P)?

    The fees are great and, if anything, the quality of adverts have gotten better and the volume of 'I'll see if anyone wants this at a way-too-high-price' sale topics have reduced. It's brilliant. :)
