Number 4 - [url="http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/sell-getstarted.html"]http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/sell-getstarted.html[/url] You have to have a telephone to sell on eBay, and need to confirm the number.

I don't think there is a 'standard' wear pattern on a bass. It depends I think on who's owned it, I've seen basses that are only a year or so old that have been really badly knocked about, and instruments that are 30 years old and immaculate. There's a book about Fender basses that's really good, lots of great photos of genuine old basses.

[quote name='kerley' timestamp='1404059556' post='2488862'] Yes, you will get your money back if you don't receive the item. You do need a bit of patience here though as assuming it was sent Royal Mail the seller can't even claim until 30 days so if he did send it and it is lost in the post it is hardly right to get angry with him about it. Okay he isn't responding but he has marked it dispatched so that is all he would say anyway isn't it? Agree with others up there. I have sold 100's of things on eBay and I am a very good seller but I have had more problems from buyers than from anyone I have bought from. The change I would make to eBay is that the payment gets automatically taken from the winning bidders Paypal account when the auction ends. A lot of people just don't bother paying but you still have to wait 7 days, cancel listing, realist and wait for auction to end again etc, etc,. [/quote] The problem with that is it could maybe cause the buyer to go overdrawn ? They may be fully intending to pay, but may not get paid for a day or 2. I recently bought a couple of things that were collection only, I was going to pay cash for them, I'd have had to have paid the cash in so that Paypal could take it out, a lot of faffing about. I do see your point though, but maybe non payments should show up on a buyers profile ?

[quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1404053946' post='2488814'] I paid via Visa debit :S [/quote] Shouldn't be a problem then .

If you pay by debit or credit card (via Paypal), then you're also covered by your bank. I got my money back from my eBay purchase that went wring through my bank. I didn't have a Paypal account at the time, so paid as a 'guest', and neither eBay or Paypal wanted to know, my bank on the other hand did a great job and refunded me within a week or so. I just had to take screenshots of the relevant eBay pages and sign a declaration.

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1404045501' post='2488712'] But have you actually requested the sellers contact details from ebay? [/quote] I thought they had to have a phone number to sell ? I had a problem last year with something I'd bought, the seller wasn't responding to email, so I contacted ebay and they gave me the phone number.

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1403991364' post='2488422'] I bought a Vester 5-string from a bloke in South Wales; paid him extra to send it Parcelforce, because he wanted to use myHermes and I have no faith in them at all. He sent it by myHermes anyway. Tosser. [/quote] Parcelforce don't insure musical instruments, so he may have done you a favour if you'd had a problem, assuming he insured it.

If you ask Ebay they'll give you his phone number. They encourage you to contact the seller before starting any kind of dispute.

I think people spend to much time messing about about with the EQ on their amps, constantly fiddling around with it. I leave mine totally flat, my MB LM3 is seemingly about as neutral sounding as an amp can be with all the tones set at 12 o'clock and the filters off. The Acme Low B1 is designed to be like a studio monitor, so it again is as neutral sounding as a cab can be, with little inherent tone. Any changes in tone are done on the bass, or by playing differently.

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1403911405' post='2487759'] Drop [url="https://www.brightonion.co.uk"]this[/url] guy a message explaining what you want to do, he should be able to make you up a box to do it, with two inputs, two each with its own effects loop, a tuner out and a merged out (maybe with volume controls for each). note: im not associated at all with them, i just rate them highly for things like loop pedals and switch box's. [/quote] Thanks

I have a few nice pedals that I've accumulated for my stick and my bass, I'm about to mount them into my pedalboard which is a Pedaltrain junior. I'll explain what I've got so it's easier for you knowledgeable folk to answer my question . Korg Pitchblack tuner Big Muff Pi Digitech Bass synth wah TC Hall of fame reverb Analogman Bi-comproser Ernie Ball volume pedal EBS Compressor When I'm using them for bass I use everything except the EBS compressor, for the Stick I run the bass pickup into the EBS compressor then into the amp, the melody side goes into the Analogman then through everything else. What I want is to have something mounted on the board that will take both side's signal into the tuner pedal, before the effects, to be able to switch between it and the effects. Any suggestions please ?

Break each syncopated bar down into individual beats, then work out how they should sound. It's a good idea if you have what you're practicing, using something like Sibelius is very useful, as is working through things with a teacher who knows what he or she is talking out, this doesn't need to be a bass playing teacher.

I think that's owned by a guy on here.

Just recently bought an Acme Low Bi from Pete. A great little cab, and a very easy transaction.

Graeme just bought my TC Flashback. It sold within minutes of me advertising it, a great a painless transaction.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1402430972' post='2473506'] To me the only point of these is outdoor/guerilla gigs on battery power. If you have mains available for your amp, just use a conventional power supply and plug in. [/quote] It's for busking , I've got a Diago power thing for normal use.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1402418478' post='2473305'] Or you could get the Eneloop Pedal Juice for less than 40 quid. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/sanyo_eneloop_pedal_juice.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...pedal_juice.htm[/url] (looks like the same unit tbh, in nicer packaging maybe?) [/quote] I like that !!!!

I'd never seen one, looks pretty cool, just a tad expensive. The same price will buy you 60 duracells from Amazon [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duracell-MN1604-Procell-Battery-Alkaline/dp/B003XC9A3K/ref=sr_1_3?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1402415290&sr=8-3&keywords=duracell+9v+batteries+pack+of+10"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duracell-MN1604-Procell-Battery-Alkaline/dp/B003XC9A3K/ref=sr_1_3?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1402415290&sr=8-3&keywords=duracell+9v+batteries+pack+of+10[/url]
