Me again! This time Marinus bought a 1978 P bass from me and all was as good as our previous P bass deal (but with no courier delays this time!) Enjoy!!!

Would need to sell accompanying windscreen wipers for the bathroom mirror

Met Lozz at the regulation motorway services car park to collect a nice Mustang bass off him. Had a nice, albeit brief, natter about basses and football (as you do) and realised its a terrifying 11 years since I last met him in the flesh for a bass deal. Tempus fugit!

I had a very uncomfortable moment when it started to fire rockets in my mouth

Just received my tribute to Ace Frehley. A NOS (2007) Tooth Tunes electric toothbrush which plays "I wanna rock and roll all nite" while brushing

Really enjoyed that Tim. To me an unholy mix of Cabaret Voltaire and Depeche Mode (which is a good thing) and a very arresting video. Nice one!

Yes, in the BC for sale forum! -

Mullarkeys tend to come as stock with Dunlop 45-105 flats, I believe. Same as Serek shorties. Those were on my old bass and sound incredible but are super spendy https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/dunlop-stainless-steel-flatwound-bass-strings/ -
Flipping basses for profit – fair game or not cool?
Clarky replied to Allaboutthebass's topic in General Discussion
I spotted the post that the OP is referring to and found the local sale by googling (I was bored, OK!) My take is that this is like finding something undervalued at a car boot sale and subsequently selling for the market price - and it will only sell on BC if the price is right. My real gripe is that in 17 years on BC I have only ever sold at a loss, which says a lot about me! -

Great score. I had sellers regret and was seriously thinking about this if my 78 P bass sold. Alas, not in time. But great for you. You will love it -
Have played many genres, from death metal to Americana, blues to goth and even funk/hip hop. Not great in any of them, let's be honest, but solid and reliable enough to be first call for a Grammy-nominated blues rock singer over the past 15 years and to have been regularly gigging in all the coolest small/mid sized London venues (Dublin Castle, Half Moon, 100 Club etc). Had to step away from my goth/post punk band The InSect due to family circumstances at end 2024 and looking to get back into a band - preferably post punk/goth (maybe even a tribute band to Joy Division, Cure, Banshees etc) or loud guitar-based rock/metal. If that band preferred rehearsing on a weekday, rather than weekend, all the better. Better yet if in SW/W London but fine to travel to Camden/Dalston Ideally would be rehearsing once every 1-2 weeks and gigging once a month. Downsides. I am not a spring chicken (I am old enough to have seen Bauhaus supported by The Birthday Party and Bon Scott singing for AC/DC). I am therefore not great with Tiktok trends like flapping my hands and shouting 6-7. Upsides. I am solid, reliable, have good gear, transport and a reasonable amount of time on my hands, as I am semi-retired, plus I look like an ageing rock god (OK the last bit is boll*cks). But I do have hair.

This is now up FS on eBay but I would much rather it stayed in the BC community. Its a beautiful, chock-full-of-mojo, vintage rock monster and - for most people - comes in at a good weight. The work SiBob had done on the neck means it has lovely low action and plays slickly (he said, avoiding mention of a popular dairy product). Would £2100 tempt anyone here? -

The Ink in the Well was also my introduction to DT back in the 80s and I have never heard any other player since get close to that characteristic mix of air, power and string vibration on the board. Very funny and self effacing guy too

Besides BassChat, where would you sell?
Clarky replied to Rob MacKillop's topic in General Discussion
Reverb has high fees (can't remember exactly but it's something like 8% or more), which you need to be aware of in setting your price, whereas eBay now charges fees to the buyer. I much prefer eBay and have also had more success with it historically when trying to sell on both platforms simultaneously -
Each of the three £182 pedals (OD, comp, DI) can be found in the Transit B pedal (along with EQ and tuner) for considerably less money, especially second-hand
