  1. Ig tot his from the kind @oldslapper but I've already got a stand and don't need it. Will take a picture later, but it's a handmade wooden DB stand that's function. Can be painted I guess and better than a big stand or laying the big dog on the floor. Pickup in Bristol etc.
  2. Love this approach. I imagine my old DB tutor tearing his hair out (if he had any)
  3. Usually account for a little spoilage in transit, but this seems pretty extreme!
  4. Mark me down as first in the queue…
  5. Cheers Marc. It's always good to visit some of the best service stationsin Wales and Gloucester to meet such a fantastic fella. Hopefully one day you'll be handing over your Czech Ease bass 🙂
  6. I picked one of these uo super cheap and it’s brilliant. Exceptional quality for a low price.
  7. Here's what's left in my cupboard of bass delights. All strings are brand new and sealed in their packaging. Some of the packaging is battered. Prices include postage. D'addaio Chromes - Medium Scale - £35 D'Addario EPBB170 Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings - £18 per set D'Addario EXPPBB170 Coated Phosphor Bronze Strings - £20 per set Ernie Ball Slinkies - Custom gauge - £5 Gear4Music Strings - £3.50
  8. That’s the truth! The reason is when you arch your neck to look at the dots you change your hand position. Much better to play with a drone or along with simple bass book recording to find yourself. To be honest, the pay is an in the first few positions anyway, so it shouldn’t take long… I’m not trying to encourage you to spend more cash, but WAZA air headphones work well for that purpose. A little too we’ll if I’m honest as it shows how useless I am!
  9. Anyone interested at £60? Can send to with the neck off.
  10. Those look like original Kluson tuners. If they are they’re worth a substantial amount.
  11. Unless the seller has a time machine it's unlikely they will be able to provide that information. Between years is a better estimate.
  12. I’ve bought items from Japan and the experience was simple, quick and painless. The descriptions of items are always exceptionally accurate, I’ve found.
  13. Exceptional bass at a really good price.
  14. I’m selling a Yamaha TRBx 5 string and it’s the best 5 string I’ve ever played and is £275 with £60 strings on it. Seriously, in your budget look for a local Yamaha and you won’t be disappointed. They’re genuinely amazing value.
  15. It’s remarkable for the cash! Happy to knock a bit off of source a new tuner… I
  16. Anyone interested in some low cost bass fun?
  17. That’s more 80s than I’ve seen in a while, but if it’s good enough for Nathan, it’s good enough for anyone! Bump for weekend…
  18. I don’t think this is entirely fair. The guy had paid his money and been totally upfront with reasons for sale. He’s said he open to offers too… Good luck Sam!
  19. Embarrassingly, I found this in the cupboard and I forgot I'd bought it. This is an as-new condition and is the perfect introduction to shorts scales. The only issue with this is that the G tuner was a little loose, so my DIY fix was to superglue it and then buy a replacement. Well, the superglue works just fine, but I never did find a replacement, so it's a little untidy. This is a cool little thing, and just about small enough to be a stocking filler. £65 cash on collection gets it. This really is my last bass for sale, so it'll be an emotional day (not really) Based in Bristol. Details here: Standard series Body: Poplar Bolt-on neck: Maple Fretboard: Amaranth Fretboard inlays: Dots Neck profile: Modern C 19 Frets Scale: 762 mm Nut width: 42 mm Double-Action truss rod Pickup: 1 PB-Style split coil 1 Volume control and 1 tone control Chrome hardware Classic PB-style machine heads Ex-factory stringing: .040 - .095 Colour: Black high gloss
  20. This is a beautiful and very rare Yamaha BX-1 headless bass with original fitted hard case. I love the way this bass looks, plays and sounds but I have no need for it anymore a I'm playing in classic-style bands and can't afford to have stuff I don't use hanging around. The condition is good, although there is some wear on the bridge and at the headstock and a few chips. Frets are in good nick too. The sound is unreal, deep deep bass, mids and (I guess if you really had to) you could get a good slap tone out of it. This is up there with the Roland GR-77B as the ultimate 80s bass. Images below, bass strung with flats, weight it about 3kg. I will not package this up and post it, and I won't budge on price as I love it. £650 grabs it.

  21. This is why I’m happy to drive a couple of hours to pickup a bass. I just can’t be dealing with the hassle anymore.
  22. It’s what happens when you do everything as cheaply as possible. Personally, I prefer walking into a shop.
  23. In a blind test I’d take that bet.
