Looking at the state of this it could have done with mudguards! Do they really think somebody will pay that for it ? Wonder what they gave the seller 😄

I was interested in a bass he was selling some time ago and whilst doing research found the bass on here and it had previous serious neck issues which weren't mentioned in the listing. I had to ask and he confirmed this was the case. This really put me off as do some of the prices which are ridiculous. I also asked about a px on another bass and he wanted to give me nothing for mine yet charge top dollar for his - definitely dealer rather than bassist behaviour.

Hi All, I've had the bass for nearly a year now but from new the pickup selector switch has been really stiff and definitely needs more pressure between positions than any other I've ever known. Are they all like that or did I just get another great example of Fender Quality control ? Anything I can do to fix it other than replacement ?

I picked up a used Schecter Nick Johnston traditional strat yesterday and its mind blowingly good. I was buying it originally as an upgrade project - in the shop it sounded awful, I had planned to put new pickups in it but on getting it home I realised the pickup heights were well off. 2 minute fix and now sounds amazing and was great value for money.

Good to know as it was the RW neck that drew me to it. There was a similar strat in my LGS which was absolutely stunning and I wondered why it had taken them so long to sell it.

What a shame - such a lovely bass which has been completely neglected - maybe stored in sea water ! A snip at the price 😄 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/316340774022?_skw=pink+strat&itmmeta=01JN61JS8NJ7X7N2GQPS1C4962&hash=item49a7612486:g:LVMAAOSwB3Nnt1x4&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dNdLteqfnQg2BA5uBpAlIMXoc5ED5ZAJrLWpzqNrIC6Sb0tAOOcze2PoimDLyLUj0kkn34jyn5kWbOB0tj8vvlW4tt0LUUvfeC0YWFXB4eSi8YoAdWVe0zjnylWORv%2F38hEx0Cj5lIgrtG3CW2m3U0aN58BGKLEraXD308lZB2C5KOYVth4Oqeec9DMgL0x80tpKCcOQ6MWmJUtyw3d%2F070RtgCLbSS4fV7nnMzJNLL3vjnYoOnVT2QcPd9iTaSsg%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7qUy8GpZQ

I so want to call a band Schifanoia - named after a bus stop in France ! Need a band first though !

I should have gone to Specsavers - thought it was the hot rod guitar 🤓

I like the pink version. The Bax sale is great -bought some ultra noiseless strat pickups yesterday for £150 : about £100 than less on GAK or £220 less than on the Fender website. Just hoping they turn up without issue !

I bought the model t and returned it as it was crap - had the shielding/ grounding issue but apart from that was just completely bland.

I've got that one too a stunning bass with great 'tronics.

I put a matching outlaw and maverick plus into my shoppping basket but just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger . By the time you had upgraded them you may as well have bought something decent in the first place. I did it with 3 Sue Ryders !

I was enjoying playing with Udio and making some cool tunes in it until I listened to another members generated track which was trending. The vocals on it were clearly those of Stacey Kent - if you know of her you will know what a distinctive voice she has. That did it for me and I cancelled my membership. Using existing work to train a model is bad enough but to then use actual voices in finished songs is appalling. If all artists opt out where will this leave them ?

I have 2 Blackstar guitar amps a HT1 and a HT5 both are awesome - I upgraded the HT1 with a Celestion and new valves but the HT5 mk iii was perfect as it is. Great value for money.

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 !

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