[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1373992015' post='2143974'] +1 I can think of a lot of other basses that i'd rather spend a grand on. [/quote] I could buy 2 or 3 basses for a grand

I think black looks fantastic but shows dust and white is nice but always looks dirty lol I would still go for black myself though

Now that is one serious p--s take

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1373708651' post='2140760'] Increasingly seeing this in the forum and I don't think it's right. Surely as its the seller who knows the preshipping condition of the instrument, is ensuring the bass is packed well and wants to make the sale it should always be their responsibility? I wonder how many online bass shops would still be going if they adverised shipping at buyers risk! Then there is the whole trust issue... 'oh the truss rod worked fine when it was with me, must have been the courier...' etc. I have had a few things damaged in courier when I have sold them and I wouldn't dream of telling the buyer to deal with it themselves! Also, any insurance claim would have to be handled by the sender, so I'm at a loss really. Surely if a buyer wants to offer postage to assist his chance of a sale, he should be responsible? [/quote] Agreed one of the most sensible things I have heard for ages When I see postage at buyers risk I tend to steer away from the item and look for another.

No might be worth a try it looks very much like a Traben Personally I still prefer the look of the FJB-20 but at near £700 quid I wont be buying one how much is the HB-20 anyway?

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1373647798' post='2140240'] Sellers are encouraged to make it clear in their ads/titles weather they'd like swaps or not. Most of the time, people invite trade options in addition to cash sales, hence a unified marketplace. It wouldn't be very easy to set up given the complicated architecture of the current setup. We might look at integrating the 'tags' system more thoroughly so you could filter items by type in the future. Cheers [/quote] Yay thanks for reading Ped and thanks for your reply I see what you mean about it being hard to do just thought I would share my thoughts on the subject

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1373646600' post='2140202'] Sorry mate I didn't mean to come across all big brotherish [/quote] Your not mate what you said is bang on the money and I appreciate the input anyway any idea who I would need to ask about this mod wise? thanks As thus far people seem to think it is a good idea

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1373644689' post='2140159'] I've got a CIJ P bass and I'm looking to swap it for £600 , is that allowed Only joking I totally support the sites new selling rules , Op do you need to check with a mod about this ? Great idea though [/quote] Oh yes it would totally be up to a mod or admin to make a decision like this I just posted the idea to see if it was OK with the hope of the powers that be would read it and see what they thought

[quote name='njr911' timestamp='1373618802' post='2139642'] Good call. Spending money get's me earache of the missus. Recycling gets me in her good books [/quote] The same and if you have no money a swap is the only other way to try new stuff

Hi I don't know if this has been done before I did search but didn't find anything I was wondering if it is possible or if it is a good idea to put a swap style shop in the Basschat market place as if people only want to swap things they can obviously put it there I know people list stuff in the normal for sale threads as for "for sale/for trade" but I thought if all swap items were under one section it would be easier to find swaps etc and it might also be better for people who only want to sell there stuff for cash in the normal for sale threads as they might not get bombarded with offers of trade they don't want? I dont know if this is a good idea or even possible but it would be good to hear what everyone else has to say

I just got a set of these Coban strings from ebay they are Coban DCG3 smooth bass strings they were only £5.19 delivered now I was not expecting much from these at that price but to my surprise the were actually pretty good I put them on a Yamaha and they installed very well wound nice and smoothly onto the winders they gave a nice bright sound when fitted and tuned and felt nice to play I think the word to use is slick so all in all I really recommend these strings now I know only time will tell how good they are but when you think you can get 5 sets of these for the price of the Ernie ball strings that I normally use there really good value if you have to change them a bit more often. Link below. I will definitely be getting 2 or 3 more sets in stock at this price and the more sets you buy the bigger discount you get.
