  1. Regardless of your views on his creations (and having the gall to charge double the retail for a butchered HB bass) you have to applaud him for how much effort he puts into his listings. Videos and descriptions are all pretty good!
  2. Fishman Platinum Pro EQ/DI Analog Preamp - as new. Lovely acoustic pre amp. Unused as I now have an AER amp. It’s in mint condition with the plastic on the display. I’ve added Velcro to the bottom to fix to a pedal board.
  3. It’s the internet. Good intentions ruined by arguments over nonsense. I wouldn’t worry about it, just cherish the memories!
  4. they are u til you’re kids start whacking them. My wife said “it’s already covered in scratches and dents…” (it’s a 1966 candy apple red jazz). If I died tomorrow she’d accept £200 for it I reckon.
  5. It’s a purely speculative investment as older instruments have no intrinsic value. I recently bought a 1971 Martin DR35. It’s a beautiful guitar that’s opened up wonderfully, and still about £300 cheaper than buying a new one. Will it increase in value? Possibly. Will I play it and love it for the next 40 years… I hope so.
  6. It’s often because they’re forced to do it. As a a child who was made to play cricket and go sailing (in ice cold water!) I know what that feels like. I found music was something I did alone and love it for that.
  7. Music isn’t a competition. Just enjoy what you do, and all will be OK. So many musicians make their cash posting videos on YouTube, but that’s not what music is all about. Played a blues jam a few weeks ago (and I normally hate blues jams) and it was great. Players of all ages and abilities with a packed pub and an appreciative audience. I’m sure a wunderkind knocking out fusion solos in their bedroom makes business sense, but it’s pretty far removed from actual music making.
  8. I've now reduced this to £285, which is well good. I just need it gone as I've spent *cough* Lots on a new guitar.
  9. I may have to start playing 5 string again if this doesn't sell... I have used the cardboard box o send another bass, but I have a hard case I'll include for an additional £35. So you get a £1000 bass, £60 strings and £35 case all for £635? Err yes.
  10. A soon-to-arrive set Waza Air means these great phones are up for grabs. These are supposedly designed for bass, and they are the best I’ve used (score the Waza air, but they’re 6 times as expensive…) They’re in excellent condition with very little use at home. The headphones are in excellent condition (I won’t say perfect or mint, but you get the idea). The box itself is a little damaged and the instruction manual has gone. It comes with the phones, the cable and the adaptor. Yours for £45!
  11. Specs: Les Paul Special-II LE Body & Bridge Body: Solid wood Bridge: Tune-o-Matic™ Finish: Ebony Neck & Fingerboard Neck: Hard Maple, bolt-on Scale: 24.75" Nut width: 1.68 Fingerboard: Pau Ferro with dot inlays Electronics & Hardware Neck Pickup: 650R humbucker, open coils Bridge Pickup: 700T humbucker; open-coils Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone, Three position toggle switch Output jack: 1/4" Tailpiece: StopBar™ Hardware: Chrome Machine Heads: Precision 14:1 ratio machine heads
  12. This guitar was a present to my family and we don’t use it and have never used it. It’s mint condition, with the plastic still on the pickups and plates. I play guitar and wanted my kids to learn, but they’re too small (so I bought a shortscale Mustang on here). As such, this is surplus to requirements. Specs are here: https://www.epiphone.com/en-US/Guitar/EPIPY9647/Les-Paul-Special-II-E1/Ebony Pictures below. Collection from Bristol or postage at cost. Rock on, dudes!
  13. Bump for some bass learning. Treat yourself today and I’ll post Monday!
  14. This ks a good point. My 66 jazz needed the jack socket replacing. I kept the original for the completists (although I’ll be dead before I sell it…)
  15. Guess they’re pretty unfashionable at the moment, which is a shame. They’re amazing for recording too. Someone will love it!
