Bass + Twonotes Revolt +Zoom MS60B+ + PJB Double Four = Awesome.

I saw this article on ebay yesterday https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/account/regulatory/uk-digital-sales-reporting?id=5454 and wondered if the Basschat Marketplace would be subject to the same requirements ?

This was one of the dearer models I'd seen : https://www.thomann.co.uk/ns_design_nxt4a_vn_bk_f_fretted_violin.htm?glp=1&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpcWpsKHSiwMV4pFQBh04Owj5EAQYByABEgI5FPD_BwE Just £2000 more than my budget 😁

I did try violin many years ago - it was an engagement present of the Mrs. Suprised she still married me when she heard the horrible scratching sound I made.

Picked this up a few weeks ago -a lovely 2012 walnutglo 4003 I'd owned a few Ric guitars before and found them o.k. but this is sublime.

Hi @Steve Browning, I recently heard Ebay are reporting sales(presumably cumulative) over a certain amount to HMRC in case there are tax implications i.e they are assuming you are a business seller. I buy and sell a lot of musical gear - its a hobby and I usually make a loss on the sales - so if I sell gear on ebay for say £10,000 ( which actually cost me £12,000) how would that work tax wise or is it irrelevant or would need evidencing etc.

Well I know Rimmers music don't over estimate the market value of instruments - I was buying a new Keyboard last week and asked for a trade in price for a 2 week old Fender American Pro2 Precision and a roland Aerophone Ae20 - they offered me £600 for both ! PMT price matched so I bought the keyboard from them without px. Rimmer's stupidity/greed lost them a sale. The sax sold on ebay for £500 within minutes of listing it.

I saw a violin with frets on a Facebook video - would love a go on one of those. They seem to be really expensive or quite cheap and nasty so not likely to try one any time soon. I love the look of this one though and electric so you can add a bit of distortion 😁

I like the gold !

A european union - that sounds like a great idea 😄

But isn't that just what Russia did as Nato expanded ever closer to its border ?

But do you buy the insurance policy you may never claim on or fund the hospital that might keep your kids alive now or let your granny put the heating on in the winter ? It is a conundrum, but I'm not sure I trust politicians to make a decision that isn't in their own self interest or the media not to be hyping a paid for agenda.

Definitely an interesting question that I've been debating with family and friends for some time. Given the funding black hole Labour keep harping on about, the NHS being at breaking point, Higher Education system about to implode and the unemployment which will result from the employers NI increases, I'm not sure where the money to fund increased defence spending would come from. I'm not sure I know anybody who would spend it on weapons.

Only 1 for me really. A Warwick Teambuilt Thumb BO in white - picked it up mint for £800 locally. Crazy prices now !

I've just bought and returned a new Schecter Model T exotic.Not only did it have a shielding / grounding issue but despite it looking lovely it was really uninspiring to play. I swapped it for a Fender Am Pro Precision which is simply fantastic. Keep the jazz or check out the Schecter C4 silver mountain - now that is a cool bass for metal !
