+1 for the Yamaha SA2000, I would also highly recommend an ESP PC-2V

Solid bit of quality, I'd have a hard time picking between the two!! There's something Patrick Eggle about them, but with much nicer body shapes. Youtube demos are the key to the future!!

[quote name='grapevinebass' timestamp='1363812159' post='2018152'] Fair enough I thought, when I was looking to sell something. Basschat is good, and deserves my financial support. So, using PayPal I paid the annual subscription... Only for it to be reimbursed about half an hour later.... What is this about? Was I just too quick to pay money before you were ready? [/quote] As I've said, I've never sold anything that isn't a bass on BC so it doesn't affect me; why would a 14 year old pay £7-£20 per year to list his Westfield and Behringer. The site's membership was built on the free marketplace. If i'm in the minority that's fine - I won't say anymore about it and leave it there.

1. The site is less user friendly now, than it was when I joined in 2009, the only useful addition being the Upright Bass thread. What is there to change? 2. I can see many sellers opting for gumtree, preloved, youtube, strat talk, music radar etc taking pedals, accessories & beginner instruments out of the community. 3. I think this won't be a problem for dealers and there will be less 'value for money'' basses available - only advantage being, a less crowded marketplace. Welcome Andy Baxter and those present already. 4. A lot of those who join, like me, are referred to the site to sell if they accidentally came into possession of something collectable - upon first impression I would have left and never come back. 5. When I was actively playing bass, I spent 70% of my time on the site in the Marketplace trading/selling & px'ing toys 6. I have never sold anything on the 'Other Musically Related Equipment' section and will now avoid it completely [size=4]Just my two cents, I feel others will be annoyed but too diplomatic to say so. I will still occasionally use the site to recommend luthiers & equipment or review gigs etc. Players (especially younger or hard up) shouldn't be alienated just because they're not a die hard BC'er (we are gear geeks, no two ways about it). I also think the sale of any items section is a completely irrelevant addition. [/size]

You built those!? What's your brand name?? Alesker?

I'd take a black bass over a white one; if I was a black guy i'd say the opposite - not many look cooler than Bill Dickens on a white Conklin

Ya ^^^ I thought we were talking ebony boards too

If it's completely black you can't see what it is, plus it picks up loads of dust, fingerprints and...yeah it's just not funky - just for the death metallers

Couldn't stand watching the bald guy - encouragement of 'expression' faces is wrong, distracts from the music...and makes me wanna bite into my desk

He had an amazing live sound using those

I just wanted to see if anyone knows the location of one of my guitars I imported & owned this one since new but shifted it during a time of financial difficulty - now I can't find it anywhere!! Not exactly a model that goes under the radar - It's a Charvel Star from the Legacy Series and the graphic is known as 'The Gold Bolt'. The last owner was based in Worcester but he shifted it on... The only distinguishing feature is that there is a rusted thumb print is on the neckplate - Serial No. is something very close to GJ(?)0193. I'd be massively grateful if anyone finds it!!

Who is this guy? He keeps picking up all the stuff that should be on here

Take out that god awful Ting Tings song

Those Fender guys sure know how to select a decent bit of timber for the extra moolah...

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1362433711' post='1999832'] Aye, likewise. I also think that Warwick made a better bass out of Ned Steinbergers design. [/quote] They did!! And what i'd do to own that model

Aha!! I know the answer to this one - a girl in Cardiff both records and tours with a vintage musicmaster (I shall find the band name for you), question is, are you talking about the bass or guitar version? EDIT: Victorian English Gentleman's Club - she works at the Recording Studios where OldGit held the Welsh BC Bash. She has a '77 Musicmaster Bass in Banana Yellow.

HAHAHA!!! This has to be my favourite listing for a long long time. I'm thinkin' "what a funny story" in an Alan Partridge accent & that phrase, "Cool Story Bro"

ESP PHOENIX!!! Check the weight though
