    Sounds like you’ve found some lovely gear.

    I’ve rarely seen a bargain there, but the instruments do seem reasonably priced. I do remember a man dressed as a cowboy winning a guitar (some Gibson Ltd Edition) fist pumping in the middle of the auction room. That was great to see, as it turns out he’d been searching for this particular guitar for over 20 years!

    I’ve been to this auction a few times. Don’t forget there’s a 24% premium on top you’ll need to pay. There are few bargains to be had there, but it is quite a lot of fun!

    This happened to me too. They sent a bass destined for Germany to Spain. Never seen again... 1995 Stingray. So sad.

    Given both occasion the Bass has hit £1200 I expect shill bidding to be at play here.

    It seems everyone has missed that this is a promo video for the speaker. I’m pretty sure the guy realises it’s musical masturbation with limited practical application or value. The guy is just demonstrating how the speaker works, and I personally prefer to watch a bit of gear demoed with some jazz noodling any day than endless, pointless, tuneless and soulless slap bass.

    The point about this exercise is its technical complexity and the fact that you need to internalise the solo and modulate it yourself (rather than read the dots) as the dots don’t exist in all 12 keys. So, you might have the dots for a solo in Bb, but not for B etc. The only way to shift up the key is to memorise the solo, internalising the licks and establishing some serious Bebop vocab.

    Either his bass has shrunk or he’s a giant. Good tune this.

    Bought for lockdown but never used. Never been unpacked, touched or played... £140 including delivery. I’ll be locking down tomorrow, so probably last chance to grab this for a while...

    Behringer U-Phoria UMC22 - bought for lockdown but never used. Never even been unpacked so is 100% mint. £32 including delivery.
  11. Burns-bass
    Bought, unpacked and used once. Works really well. Clear out, so reckon this should go. £65 including delivery.

    If post this in the DB forum. It’s a classic and I’m sure a new-starter would benefit from it.

    You’re not going to find many colleges or businesses selling a 2019 Mac at a knockdown price. Do you know anyone who is at school, college or University? They can get you 10% off a brand new Mac.

    “I don’t play bass but I have this super rare Fender. “It doesn’t actually work at the moment and I don’t know why, and the truss rod is nearly maxed out, but I’m sure it’s fine. “I’ve seen that vintage shops are selling these for £1200 so that sounds fair despite them spending hundreds on setting up the bass, fitting new strings and, oh yeah, ensuring it all works...” Grab a bargain! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Vintage-USA-1972-Fender-Musicmaster-Bass-Guitar-And-Case-Collection-Only/174478369320

    It’s a little heavier than other basses, but it’s very well made. My suggestion would be to keep an eye on the Thomann bargains section. They recently had a Talman for £130 (including delivery). That’s a steal.
  16. Burns-bass
    I recently picked up a Talman bass for a great price (£80 Unused) and it’s wonderful for the price point. It’s a full-size bass and sounds just brilliant.
  17. Burns-bass
    And I miss mine 😞

    Maybe he could have arranged for your wife or partner to have left you before the course started. That might have inspired you! ”if I didn’t have bad luck I wouldn’t have no luck at all...”
  19. Burns-bass
    Both - and Bowie too!

    Probably spotted an underage girl in the crowd.
  21. Burns-bass
    If you can post this, I’m interested!

    These things can always be frustrating, but are you sure the error is with Eurosender? It’s highly unlikely a responsive form would have altered your details. It’s more likely to have been the auto fill function on your phone that’s done this after recognising a form. Hope it all gets sorted for you!
  24. Burns-bass
    Yep, I’ve only bought one think from Bass Direct and the sales process was great. Really glad to hear that it’s been dealt with.
  25. Burns-bass
    Yeah. They’re lovely things. I didn’t mean to make a negative point, they’re lovely basses and very rare too.
