    Has that happened on here? I guess you can make your money however you want, but that's properly distasteful. I think the one I had I sold for £150 (after buying it for that price). Capitalism innit.

    The start price is fair but £2800 plus fees is insane. Badlands Guitars had one like this they couldn’t sell for months at £1500 (and that’s a shop). I sold mine for £1500 with a Hiscox case. Thought that was very fair.

    Funnily enough I do run two businesses where I make a profit, but neither of those involve music gear! I think I can accept some losses on gear. It’s the cost of ownership I guess.

    You know what he means. EBay used to charge you to list and then a final fee.

    We do indeed! The Manners bass I sold could easily have gone for more, but who needs the hassle and the bad juju of trying to make a profit? When I’ve made the psychological decision to sell I just want it gone as quickly as possible. As for over priced basses, it’s a symptom of a wider problem with only e-commerce. Private sellers attempting to get shop prices.

    Sent you a message Chris. This little beauty is yours.

    I think these words can help us all as we navigate relationships. Basschat is as much a social outlet for me as the pub was (I’ve sort of given up the social drinking now as I didn’t enjoy it). Best of luck getting back on your feet Lee. One of my best friends is going though this and a few of us are helping him any way we can. I’m a bit strapped for cash but if i can help with equipment let me know. I’ve got all manner of leads, tuners, few pedals and things I’d be happy to help you out with.

    These are brilliant, agreed.

    I use the EBS Stanley Clarke for both electric and upright gigs and it’s great.

    Love mine. Used it for two gigs on the weekend and it was perfect. I treated the little beauty to a new case.

    This bass is the same. I have used it on over 50 gigs so far and it's been flawless. I play bluegrass too, so I think you're right. Few dings and dongs won't harm it!
  12. Burns-bass
    Yes, you’re right. This one is a bass for life so I’m not too worried.

    Nice outdoor acoustic session. Unfortunately, the high heat caused the finish on the bass to crack. Doesn’t really bother me but probably impacts sale value!
  14. Burns-bass
    If it’s of interest, the bass is 90cm long and 24cm wide!

    Given most people don’t know who he is, I reckon we can get away with it.

    I played a lovely pub in Cornwall. Was offered our pick of the food menu, free drinks and £100 each for the gig. Was a busy night elsewhere and only 5 people turned up. Guess it happens! Second gig this afternoon outdoors. Having a walk and coffee…

    Custom shop! This was the perfect bass for a couple of UK holidays. That’s why I bought it.

    Found out his solo band is playing in London on the 18th of August. Sadly I can’t make it.

    These are stunning things.

    I really do think they’re a drummers band. We listened to the Royal Scan for 3 weeks across Europe in 2005. Id sort of had enough by then. Will check them out again. I’m a huge Chuck Rainey fan.

    I literally discovered this behind a door. That’s a sign from someone upstairs that it must go. Can send for £50 or you can collect for £40

    SD not my thing either, but they were super smart lads and steeped in jazz history. Probably helps when you assemble some of the greatest musicians ever to play on your tracks. Got a long road trip today. Might do some Dan for the road.

    Ok, some more info. Good news is that the bass and case weighs 16.5kg (some idiot was reading the lbs as kg - what was me). LEDs are operated by the switch near the horn and all work. The controls are a mystery to me. I assumed VVT and Boost but they don’t conform to that. The sound is good, strings are low and the neck absolutely insanely easy to play. It’s not even all the way up the neck. I’d recommend a set up and new strings. This has been factored into the price. On quick test, there is a crackle from the jack socket, but I believe this is from lack of use as it settled. No hums or nastiness. No major damage and additional pictures below. Price remains the same. I still can’t send this and don’t want to. I sort of fell in love with it a bit when I plugged it in so I won’t be sad if it remains here. It looks really, really cool.

    There’s no way anyone is sneaking this case into the house without being noticed…
  25. Burns-bass
    Lovely stuff. I’ve been offered significant sums to trade in, but better someone gets a bargain than all that.
