Lovely neck that was on my Strat for years. No idea of manufacturer but really nice to play. Lightly oiled back, stunning board, frets have seen use but are all OK. Looks like a previous owner tried to relic the headstock, nothing a little light sandpaper won't get rid of. Tuners included, no idea of make but are solid and do the job. Board really is stunning

Why would you buy this new for £116.70 ...
Beedster replied to Happy Jack's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Exactly, feedback is a poor metric. The problem with +ve only feedback leading to a degree of trust is that you're not sure of the exact degree. There are probably sellers out there routinely having -ve feedback removed, and then there are people (as in your case), who are not even leaving it in the first place. So, theoretically a buyer might see 100% +ve when the truth could be half that. Would you buy a guitar with a 50:50 chance of it being as described, I wouldn't -

Beedster replied to Happy Jack's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I left a negative feedback on ebay a few months ago following a frankly shocking experience in which eBay had to intervene to get my money back from an entirely fraudulent seller, and the feedback was gone within 48 hours. These days, only an idiot lets a negative feedback stay, so eBay feedback is a con, a ruse to make you think that you can trust the system when you can't. -

Peavey TNT 130 vs Ashdown electric Blue 180
Beedster replied to skidder652003's topic in Amps and Cabs
Played many Peavey combos and never owned one, played one Ashdown combo at our local rehearsal studio and would kill for it -
That is just lovely, and so very similar to my current fave bass (pics to follow)

You know the score, the best hybrid head out there (UK voltage), and a beautifully engineered cab (8 ohm) that compliments it wonderfully. I'm in two minds about rigs and could use putting some cash back in the bank, so will stick with whichever doesn't sell, please see listing here for more details.

Some music just sounds best in the car!
Beedster replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
There's truth in that, plenty of producers (Rick Rubin springs to mind) will refine mixes on the basis of how they sound on car stereo/mobile devices as much as how they sound on studio monitors. Makes sense, you want the music to sound good on the device it's intended for. -

Kinda breaks my heart to sell this, but I'm trying to rationalise my music gear, and whilst I love this little thing, it simply never gets played. Had hoped my eldest daughter would get into it but she's loving keyboards so think it good to let her focus her attention there (youngest has drummist tendencies). Loads of stuff about this model online, and they tend to sell for over £1000 even in the USA (recent sale here https://reverb.com/item/3461463-ovation-mm68-usa-mandolin). I'm selling it for what I paid in 2007! No trades thanks Chris
