…I’ve got the combo 2 x 10 ..i do struggle to get definition on my b string anyone had this problem.

I will except..I know it will drag on if I dont ..they hold the money until it’s sorted …it’s that grey area ..obviously a business would legally have to except the return..and I may even keep it now ..I won’t be paying his postage though ..and an edit to this “it is *ucked ..now on its way back to andertons for repair ..really confused 🫤

And I’m now getting it returned to me at my cost because it doesn’t sound like the same model he tried in andertons ..and the standby light stays on for about 10 seconds after you’ve switched it off ..even though it’s stated on the GK site this is supposed to happen …🤔🤔..now hating eBay again 😡🤣

Any other bass chatters get there heads turned so easily by the prospect of a new bass in there life ..I’ve found 2 on eBay (and no I’m not telling anyone else what they are )🤣! I find it quite worrying that I was more than happy with the 4 basses I have but all I can think of is which one to dump so I can get the new shiny one ..I’m sure it’s a bassist hangup as none of the members of the 2 bands I’m in get through the same amount of gear I do ! ..do I have a mental problem if so do we have a bass chatter physiologist on here !

I knew you’d notice that 😂

I have given my other one a bit of a make over over

I love atks..they are amazing bass’s ..I had a few but always seem to move them on ..I don’t really know why 🤔and always regret it 😔

Hi Andy ..yes it’s perfect at the moment..so I’ll worry when it becomes a problem though I may contact the supplier 🤟

I think the likes of sire/sterling ect have made a lot of manufacturers pick there game up ..not sure I’d want to take a wal in some of the places I have to gig ..I very rarely spend more than £500.00 on a bass now ..

So I have a awesome G&L 2500 ..I love everything about it ..but that headstock 😢😢is there anything out there worse ..

That’s the plan though I’ll probably say good bye to best part of £500.00 ..I don’t have the need to sell it so with it playing perfect at the moment I’m tempted to hold off ..

A new one’s best part of £3000.00 ..the sterlings seem to have taken there place as the affordable option but they are the best part of £1200.00 ..there’s been a few USA models sitting on here for a while.. I bought a ray35hh on here more than happy with it ..there also seems to be very little stocks of indo/korean models ..

Yep ..I put my gk amp on there today ..literally sold in an hour 👍…it did go for a better price than I’d advertised on here ..but with the fees it’s what I would have let it go to another bass chatter..just feels better selling on here 🤟

So I have a reasonably expensive bass ..approximately 1 year old seems the 2 way truss rod is seized 😡.. and you guessed the nut has stripped (surprisingly easy to do to be honest ) I did purchase a tapered tool but no luck ..I’ve started with spraying with wd40 to try and loosen this did the trick with another bass with the same issue..I know the nut is not removable so looks like it’s fingerboard off and yes it’s a set neck ..at the moment there is no problem but I’d rather know it worked if required.. any advise would be much appreciated though I know it will probably result in open wallet surgery 😂

Doesn’t seem that long ago you could get a USA stingray for under a £1000 and a USA sub for under £400 but I guess I could be showing my age now 🤟it was definitely this century though

I think that’s the general rule with most thing nowadays musical or not ..

Yep and also make sure they exist ..almost got caught selling my darkglass amp ..usuall scam ..a courier will bring cash and collect….obviously the bass groups are usually okay .

I’ve bought 2 bass ‘a of reverb ..one had a broken truss nut ..the other had a neck as straight as a banana but I got it for a good price and rectified the problem myself so I’m a little sceptical of reverb

I think location is a factor yes and having the “in gear” helps ..I’ve often thought about reverb ..I’ve purchased off there but never sold ..

Is it me or is selling really slow at the moment..I like to think I price fairly for my gear ..I’ve sold quite quickly on eBay but the fee’s are scary..I might be guilty not always trying to sell your typical “fender”..or “Ernie ball ..and I’ve actually ended up getting better deals selling to bass direct they always seem to give really good prices…

My 1st ever 5 string ..agreed about the “metal” ..lobster has a good review on his channel…I’ve seen a few on eBay but never took the plunge 🤟
