Getting back on topic - the instruments are worth what people will pay for them. I recently saw a Ken Smth sell on ebay for £1140 and then a few weeks later it was on here for £2000 .

Thomann will be selling them off for £600 within the year !

Just picked up an American Professional in Olympic White - it feels and sounds phenomenal but what colour pickguard should I change it to ? Thinking black or cream pearl or abalone or the crazy gold glass sparkle fender one ? Any thoughts ?

It's local for me too - oh no GAS !!

I'd like to just say thanks for all of the efforts in improving site. Having worked on system upgrades for the last 20 years I know how difficult they can be and the problems faced. Hopefully the majority of users won't be impacted by the lost pm's and can appreciate the benefits of the new features.

I tried a Cort B4 first which was o.k. but the Marusczyck Elwood absolution is a whole different ball game

Bought a pedal from Alex - awesome service and comms. Happy Days ! Ed

I've just picked up this beauty in a trade - it is just stunning : [sharedmedia=core:attachments:254366] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:254367] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:254368]

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fibenare-Globe-Bass-/282667455175?hash=item41d04b12c7:g:jHQAAOSwYbhZx61J I owned a Fibenare guitar and the quality was amazing.

All worked out really well - both couriers delivered in a timely fashion with no damage (The dutch courier was a third of the cost ). Both of us really pleased with our new basses.

Traded my Mensinger Cazpar for Reinier's Maruszczyk Elwood which was potentially a difficult trade with us being located in different countries.Reinier made it extremely easy by sending his bass first which was extremely trusting and was instrumental in making the deal happen. The Elwood arrived in a few days perfectly packaged and was exactly as described. I would have no hesitation in dealing with Reinier again and would thoroughly recommend him.

Yes that's really nice.

Do you have to send your bass over if it doesn't currently have a pickguard which could be used as a template I wonder ? Really want one for my new Marusczcyk Elwood - it would be awesome if it could incorporate the control plate (which certainly looks possible)

How much were they

My Maruszczyk arrived today and it truly is magnificent. Hope our couriers are as efficient and careful as the Dutch ones.

Bought some strings of Sibob- hassle free transaction. Nice One.

Bought a Cort of Wayne - met in person to collect - great guy wouldn't hesitate to deal with again.

Jaco Pastorius and other similar jazz widdlers . I completely appreciate the skill but find it snooze central.

[quote name='Burns-bass' timestamp='1505077438' post='3369365'] Agree 100%. In fact, the last deals I've done have all been in person. It's brilliant meeting Basschatters in person. [/quote] Not so brilliant when they don't show up like last week when I had an hour and a half's drive for nothing !
