@Quasar79 wants the moon on a stick 😊
@gregorbass please can you show pictures of the neck heel and neck pocket, plus the rear side of the volume and time controls ?
it is normal to do this when you say that this is a vintage instrument. It costs a lot of money and potential buyers want to be sure that it is really vintage **. That is why they ask so many questions, and to achieve a distance sale of a very expensive item you do need to be patient and understanding. UK sellers of vintage instruments do this same thing.
asking myself why I’ve become his agent…
Yes, this is normal behaviour
it shows that the bass is probably in your possession. If you were a uk seller, a buyer could visit and see the item. Since you are nowhere local, a buyer will be more careful.
good luck with your sale 🤞
I did zombie again, a professional bass player told me it was alright. I was all set to do Dreams but heard it being done as I walked in the door. Curses
I suggest you find the bass you want first then come back and we’ll talk pocket amps and so on. Keep it simple plus you might live near enough a basschat member to collect a bargain surplus amp plus maybe some tips
I think the accepted order of events is
1. Face tricky choice
2. ask here
3. wade through 617 replies veering wildly between helpful and “not so much”
4. Agonise for days ignoring partner and children in a wilderness of indecision and despair
5. toss a coin
6. repeat steps 4 & 5
7. Buy one
8. regret it and buy the other, vowing to sell the first one
9. fail to accomplish second part of step 8
Back in the mists of time, a bass was being discussed and someone asked if it was any good for playing metal bass on. now running gag, well, more like limping really
And what if SWMBO has the same caching issue ? Hmm
I’ll tell the tree that it’s not going to be under strain any time soon and that it’s okay to create another branch.
That should be a basschat theme @ped
