I'd suggest just going with a fairly standard nickel roundwound, like D'addario 45-100, as it's the most common 'all rounder' type of string. Then put a set of flats on your next P bass you'll pick up in a couple of weeks, steel rounds on the next a couple of weeks after that, then tapes, then half rounds. You get the idea. Oh yes, give it time, it will happen. 😁

If Dave had reported that, "It sustains for dayzz!", then I'd be buying it. Oh yeah, and a foam mute of course.

It's great isn't it!? You can't log in as you may be a robot, but the reply to your complaining about it comes from their robot. Unless of course you are a robot, in which case Skynet has gone active and we're all doomed. "I need your boots, your motorcycle and a new bass guitar!"

At least Dave sounds like he knows his stuff. 👌 DAVE SAYS: "THIS IS A CUSTOM PAINTED BASS GUITAR: THE SOLID WOOD BODY IS IN GOOD CONDITION PAINTWORK AND DECAL ON FRONT ARE NEAT, MINOR NICKS ONLY WORKS FINE! NO ISSUES! WOOD BIT ADDED TO FRONT, DON'T KNOW WHY"

Bugger, I've been rumbled 😁. It's amazing how people just don't seem to read an advert when they're buying something. Stoopids!

So when can I expect my item? I sent the payment straight away.

This is the thing, 99% of the time it'll be fine because most people aren't scammers. But it's when you get caught out that it hurts. I'm far to trusting and generally believe that people are good, but I've been stung for a large amount of money in the past and won't let it happen again. It horrible to have to doubt everyone though.

To be honest, I'm not sure but just wouldn't do it in case. If they are collecting then they can pay cash or a bank transfer. I know some buyers might not have the money and want to buy on credit, which they could do if paying with PP, but I just wouldn't risk it. PP have their rules and if you break them then they don't care if you're being scammed or not, they will follow their rules. Maybe worth looking up whether it would apply to collection only sales, but I've a feeling you could still be scammed as the buyer could claim that you agreed to post/courier the item to them if they paid via PP. For me personally, if anything is being collected then it's cash or bank transfer, or no sale.

Yes. The second I read that the buyer asked if it OK to pay with PayPal and then collect in person massive shiny alarm bells started ringing. Hopefully in this case it will be alright as he's left positive feedback, but the scam is for the buyer to claim they haven't received their item, PayPal will ask you for proof of shipping, if you can't provide it then they will refund the buyer his money. You lose your item and the money. The buyer could still do this and claim the feedback was mistakenly left and meant for another item. If they claim and you can't provide proof of shipping you will lose.

Similarly, "What's your best price?". If I'm selling a bass for £500, my best price is £500, or more if you want.
