Does this mean that I get to see 'you' gig before you see me gig?

... and again! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1964-Fender-Jazz-bass-SPARKLE-GOLD-64-Vintage-RARE_W0QQitemZ270548733939QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item3efdf60ff3"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1964-Fender-Jazz-bas...=item3efdf60ff3[/url]

I'll be knocking on ya door this weekend!

Neck is slimmer Body is smaller Switch for series/parallel on Sterling Dummy coil in the Sterling pup IRC they also have different preamps ... so that's virtually everything!

During my usual meanderings I came across these - [url="http://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/backline/bass-amps/hartke-215xl-2x15-bass-cabinet.html"]http://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/backline/bass...ss-cabinet.html[/url] [url="http://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/backline/bass-amps/hartke-810-xl-cabinet-ex-demo.html"]http://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/backline/bass...et-ex-demo.html[/url] A Hartke 2x15XL cab brand new in a shop for £199 or 8x10XL @ £449... got to be worth that to a fellow BCer! Just send me a bottle of Aussie Chardonnay in the post if you do decide to buy it.

When will sellers learn to use one font, one size and limited chuffin colour... at least it wasn't all oversized, capitals and underlined!

What is it with 'The Hollies'? This must be at least the 4th bass 'supposedly' owned by some fecker from The Hollies. No disrespect and I'm sure there are some great basslines in songs played by Eric Haydock but come on... The Hollies! I wonder if someone should contact Eric and ask if he wants to join Basschat? After all he could make a fortune selling all of these cast-off basses direct to us bass players.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='780573' date='Mar 20 2010, 10:23 AM']I thought that but then realised they meant it's a hard case to solve.[/quote] No matter how many times I've read that statement from eBay I only ever interpret it as you have 'bought a hard case'; can't seem to get your slant/take on it being a hard case to solve! It's blindingly obvious the guy didn't get the price he wanted so is refusing to sell and it 'should' be that eBay enforce some major sanction if he doesn't. I'm selling some bike gear (leathers, tank bags etc.) on eBay and I have to confess that I'm bricking it as I have no reserve but I WILL sell to the highest bidder no matter if it hurts me.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='780561' date='Mar 20 2010, 10:16 AM']Thank you for writing to eBay. I am so sorry to hear that you are having an inconvenience with (item number 260559500849) which is a hard case you purchased from seller "eugeneoregan". Upon reviewing the details of your concern, I strongly suggest that you contact your seller regarding the issue because basically it is your seller's discretion whether to sell the item or not. Since you re paid for the item yesterday you cannot open a case until 3 days after the estimated delivery date (if available) or 7 days after you paid for the item (if no estimated delivery date was provided). Here's how to request the seller's phone number: 1. Click 'Advanced search' at the top of the eBay homepage. 2. Click 'Find contact information'. 3. Enter the item number - you'll find it in My eBay. 4. Click 'Search'. We'll then send you an automatic email with the seller's contact details.

We feel it maintains trust and fairness on eBay if members are aware that another member has asked for their contact information. Kind regards, Sean Boyd eBay Customer Support _______________________[/quote] WTF! A 'Hard Case'... not a bass then? "... basically it is your seller's discretion whether to sell the item or not." So what happened to legal and binding contract? eBay are seriously shyte!

Find yourself a MM Dargie Delight then go here... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=79150"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=79150[/url]

I'll speak to Michael soon and see what we can sort but it'll likely not be a big affair.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='775644' date='Mar 15 2010, 08:30 PM']I've just learned something about myself... I don't anchor or rest my thumb anywhere! It usually just hangs out above the E string without actually putting any weight on anything. What a freak.[/quote] That's because your basses don't have enough pups!

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='775584' date='Mar 15 2010, 07:36 PM']I'm sure they're lovely lads. [/quote] How sure?

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='775420' date='Mar 15 2010, 05:15 PM']OK.. maybe not at strong as that, but as mentioned above it certainly felt like 'Get at Alex week' for a while...[/quote] I was obviously looking the other way and I must have missed it as I thought Alex generally handled stuff that was dished out... shame!

How would it cope with a 12 string guitar? Actually can it do guitars that are tuned down a tone, as I'd be interested in getting one if it can do bass and the 12 string detuned a tone.
