Nice... custom decal? how about 'Fretless' in the you-know-who-font...

I thought the thread was about a Fender P but with an Encore Decal... 😀

How Do... loads of 'Good' on here... Can we expect a pic of the bass... and with that username possibly some pics in Basschat Cats?

I'd be starting the dispute as a bit of insurance in case or radio silence... can alway stop when resolved. Consider sending it back then make a cheaky offer? Or I'd be looking on £100 back (10% - 15%) to potentialy meet half the £200ish refin cost?... Then its for you to decide what ya do... like ya mentioned a bit of DIY with the Wet 'n Dry... And as long as ya happy and not making do... Good Stuff

Ibanez GSR20M Mikro PJ (Modern-ish)... Squier Mini P (Classic)... Jackson Minion PJ (Rock)... all about £150ish

Off to listen to 'Pump It Up' and that Fab Bass Line in 'I Don't Want to go to Chelsea'.... Twas more Gtr growing up... but same bands, Hawkwind & Motorhead (Lemmy) Zep (JPJ) Budgie (Burke)... Stranglers (JJB) Black Uhuru (S&R, cos ya cant have one without the other can you... wouldnt be right) as mentioned liking the band and music, and how it makes ya feel.

£50... Did you look to buy a 'that will do' bass? If offered that one at £50 off or one without the damage for what you paid, which one would you take? Not sure what it went for £700ish?... i'd be wanting a £100 back, or they can derrière about and come and get it. They should be on the backfoot, don't make do, look out for what ya deserve, or ya may be a bit 'if only' dont make do with ya hard earned.

I'd be starting with a return at full refund... See if they would like to get the issues addressed... Or them to start the ball rolling re-assessing the value. I'd be getting em to arrange to collect it... otherwise they are less likely to be forthcoming..

New Amp?

Howzabout a proper tilt back amp stand? I've got one of these... https://www.gatorframeworks.com/products/combo-amp-stand-gfw-gtr-amp/ In my old Gtr days, and the odd occasion the 'lil combo comes out to play and i cant be arsed with the amp stand, i have a strip of wood that i tuck under the front edge... the one for my old Gtr amp had a couple of bore holes to locate the front amp feet... careful though as some amps want to go overbackwards at the slightest elevation, and are better chocked from the top at the back.

'For Sale' ~ Should be getting on with what i've got...

Hamsters... Frog 'n Bucket in Ide Hill... Remember the 'Hamsterhead - Rodent Rockers' T Shirt... Great Times, Roll on Live Bands in the Pub!

boxhill or bust (i'm happy when i'm riding me hog) - dumpy's rusty nuts Kent Custom Bike Show and The Marquee in Wardor St anyone?

If paid by PayPal for collection there should be a Ref Number sent to you that the seller should check before handing over... Sounds like a Scam

😂

Make sure ya get those picks posted in a NBD thread... and in the Black Bass thread, and in the Rick Porn thread... Buzzin' (or should that be Clankin') for ya!

Individual pedals are easier to use and get to grips with, but with a Zoom you can set a Patch for each song each with up to 5 effects! Connect to Guitrar Lab or ToneLib and Change patches, rename, add remove effects etc. Had a B1Four but sold it and got the older B1on as they have different Amp Sims... check the Zoom Site Downloads for a list of Amps and Effects. I mainly use it as a headphone amp and have cleared all the original patches and replaced a bank of them with just the Marshall Super Bass Amp and 4x12 Cab Sim with various EQ settings and different amounts of Drive. Then a bank of patches some adding a Chorus, some adding a Phaser and some adding a Flanger... just to add a bit of 'space and movement' to the sound. Thats about it for me. I've yet to have a play with the different Compressors to see what they are all about. Got a Cheapy Chorus (£12) FS if ya fancy giving that a go? Nice 'Thickener' to a Clean or Driven Sound.

Doesnt one of the Boss tuners also work as a headphone amp IIRC? Might come in handy. My Bad - not the pedal one...

Nice... Said it before... That SR neck, and particularly the later worn pebble rather than flat body shape!... shame they dont do a simple passive single P... in natural

I'd be on the look out on gumtree for one of those fancy push chair things... and maybe look to use the frame 'n wheels?

found this... i see the allen screw is quite sunken in. pic is not great, can the machine head be taken apart after removing the peg screw, or is the worm bar captive? otherwise prolly a leave alone or replace the whole machine head

@garyt got a pic? Dont know about sandbergs... but from working on motorcycles etc... first source a replacement, maybe by removing a good one, or dropping sandberg a line. or check ebay fasteners... no point removing the old one if its doing its job untill you have a replacement. Then when you got the new one, most i have seen are cross head, but if allen head try a star/torx bit in the hex hole... what size allen key? sometimes you may be able to gently tap in a slightly oversize imperial key into a metric hole. If not and you can get at the head, lots of masking tape then cut a slot across the head with a dremmel and use a slot head screwdriver, if ya cant get across the head, a small cold chisel to bite in to the edge of the bolt (inside or outside) and tap it round. Maybe remove the machine hesd from the headstock and hold in a vice or screw it to a scrap piece of wood to work on? If they are always tight then the optionof leaving it

Just giving em a go... Rush Moving Pictures.... very revealing, more so than my Sony's... Happy with the sound quality. Just the lack of QR Code or Holograme sticker some of the You Tube unboxing mention... @CliveT was that a Y or N on the QR? - @Waddo Soqable no responsibilities worry... look the same down to the protective film on the earcups and adapter shape. does your box have a QR code? All Good for £15 - Gonna have a lyedown on the sette wiv some sounds for a hour... just to make sure 😉😉😉 EDIT: On an old fav '801 Live'... SO much more going on! 👍

Headphones arrived... had a quick look... one of the cable reliefs to one of the ear cups was loose and required pulling down to secure. No QR Code on the box... mmm i wonder if they are genuine? I've messaged the seller and sent a pic, so waiting on a response before contacting eBay etc. Gave em a quick try and they work, but gonna give em a proper try on the MP3 player... Just thought i'd post - as ever - buyer beware.
