    [quote name='surfguy13' timestamp='1376989857' post='2181794'] Can you let me have an exact weight? Ideally on digital scales? Thanks. Willing to consider an ffer? [/quote] As I understand the rules, he would say so publicly. If you want to know, or think its overpriced, want to make an offer , you should PM him

    I'm unfamiliar with the work of this masterful artist - are there any links to his masterpieces of which I should be aware ?

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1377457250' post='2187802'] Out of interest would you sell on at a profit to someone you considered a mate (and vice versa)? [/quote] Yes, because everyone I know is aware I won't overcharge them for anything. They expect to pay something like market value, and would say "fair play" if they knew I got a bargain. They wouldn't expect to benefit from my work Equally it's not exactly a business and I just pay any profit I might ever make into the mortgage account or give it to my partner as an unexpected bonus,

    [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1377375810' post='2186937'] It's yours. You and the market set the price at the time you sell it. The price you paid is utterly irrelevant. Spotting a bargain and buying cheap does not mean you have to sell it onwards cheap. In these days of hard times if you have the chance to put a little extra food on the table by making some profit and you decide not to - you need your head examined. [/quote] This. If I buy something that someone else undervalued, then I think it's okay to sell it on at a fair market value. Not sure why person C should benefit from person A's lack of research and person B gains nothing. Person A is rid of unwanted item, person B is alert and is rewarded for being on the ball, person C gets something they want at a fair price. Equally I'd never scam anyone with broken, damaged or mis described items.

    BUMP for hard case still available

    Yes you should intimidate thx neighbours. You used that jazz through a hartke 2x 10 at my house so I can only imagine an 8 x 10 would sound fricking immense @grangur You should elaborate on the switching - what we discussed sounded worth publishing
  10. Geek99
    I used to own this - its very nice
  11. Geek99
    Talk to the bass doc and see if he can make / adapt a body like that ? If not, it's your bass - you do what you want

    I thought it was just as good ad the four string Musicroom offered me a very good price on one

    In classic black/white/maple. Just one very minor ding on the back of the neck, no other damage at all, anywhere. The ding could be steamed out or filled with a blob of epoxy, but I stopped noticing it very quickly. Pots and pickups seem to be original and work smoothly and without extraneous noise and under the bellplate, its all tidy. It has fresh .45 - .105 strings. Serial starts Z309 Comes with ABS Fender hard case (plush dark blue lining, hidden compartment, fender logo and headstock design outer), this is non-locking but all catches work smoothly. There are a very few minor scuffs on the case but thats only to be expected on a ten year old item. Please note that this beauty does not have the S1 switch, although its simple to add the series/parallel function with a push-pull DPDT pot. Can be viewed/collected from near Sutton In Ashfield (j28 m1), Nottinghamshire. I will ship (reluctantly due to risk) at cost based on reaching agreement with buyer. I do travel around quite a bit too so happy to meet to avoid risk if it can be arranged. I think this is worth £700 as its so nice, please PM me with any questions as I dont seem to get all email notifications. My feedback thread is linked in my signature. http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/US%20jazz/37617564-6CCE-435F-A7A3-BCBC09BAA0A1-3114-00000232B3FF7FBF_zpsa288c849.jpg STRAIGHT SALE ONLY (please) Update - bass now SOLD to a basschat member, case still available. Looking for around £50 for it?

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1376995311' post='2181886'] +1 for the Squier while you're feeling your way on 5 strings. [/quote] Yep
  18. Geek99
    I picked up a pup from a classic 50s model on eBay for £8 Don't discount used eBay items - you can get more for your buck sometimes
  19. Geek99
    What previous listing ?

    [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1376941818' post='2181348'] Cheers guys. I'm sure it will be fine, but bad experiences really sit with a person... I'm sure we've all been there. Is there any way I can tell just by looking at it whether the truss rod will be all good or not? [/quote] Hold the low E string at the first and last fret and look at the gap at the 12th fret - should be about 0.5mm - 1mm - even if its more or less its likely sortable provided you can shift the truss rod nut/screw by a quarter turn or so its probably ok. Edit for corrected value

    Just a thought but some cameras and phones encode their GPS location into the meta data of the images. You can show eBay that the images were taken at your house , not the registered address of the lister

    bump
  23. Geek99
    Yep I've not got as far yet

    [quote name='kemper162' timestamp='1376578805' post='2176367'] Huge thanks to everyone... feeling a whole lot better about it now. [/quote] I was awful for this Don't worry too much it does get better with time Maybe lessons would help ?
  25. Geek99
    Thanks chaps - first thing to deal with is new strings. Ones on it are older than god
