Willcox Guitars Saber VL5 Fretless Trades - *SOLD*
binky_bass replied to bigmuff69's topic in Basses For Sale
I had a 6 string Lightwave fretless for all of about 4 days before I traded it for a 9 string fretted ACG with @7string about 400 years ago... I'm not a fretless player, but I remember thinking it was an excellent bass and tempted for a few scary moments about keeping it! T'were it a fretted, it may have remained with me as the ACG has. This is a very good price for an excellent and quite unique thing! -
I love these basses... had 3 of the orange ones over the years. Truly one of the best 6 string basses ever made.- 1 reply

Custom 30” Short Scale Bass – walnut/maple - £725
binky_bass replied to Silky999's topic in Basses For Sale
Built recently by yourself? -
Sei basses are particularly special things. In my humble opinion they easily beat the likes of Fodera for build quality, probably Smith too. Of the ones I've owned over the years I regret not maintaining one in the collection! Something to be remedied at some point... -
Just another reason Reverb's the place to shop

I had that exact message too... The email you get that informs you of a message has a button you can click to report a fraudulent message however that link only takes you to the message itself where there is no option to report! Reverb are notoriously terrible at managing spam and scams... They, like most large Internet based companies, employ about 4 people so cannot actually manage incoming spam without an AI based system, and their system doesn't work! Whilst I have successfully sold via Reverb, it is not a platform I can recommend at any level. -
Gentlemen, can we not just agree that ALL music is terrible as are those that play ANY instrument?

I've always found Reverb an awful place to shop... Almost every seller ups their price to compensate for fees, so if buying from a retailer via Reverb its far cheaper to buy direct. Most of the private sales have stupidly high prices. Its not bad if you are a private seller selling at a fair price as things normally sell quickly in the backdrop of the typically really high prices! -
I think he was more of a Quake man.

This needs it's own OnlyFans... Pretty sure I bought a MarkBass SD1200 from you a decade or so ago? If so, a top man to deal with! If not, probably still a top man to deal with! Actually... according to historical BC records, t'was I that sold you a bass head! The 'Top Man' comment stands. 😆 -
AI is not a useful tool where you ask it for granular detail on extremely niche topics. It doesnt know how to say 'Sorry, I'm not sure about that, please can you provide more context to guide me' and will spit out whatever it thinks is right positioning it as being factually correct - which it often isn't! The more detailed your prompt into AI, with as much context as possible, will provide a far better response, but still not one to be blindly trusted! However - I have (albeit briefly) played this bass while collecting another bass from David a year or so ago as it is a lovely thing! 😊 -
You could at least attempt to provide some useful details... 😆

Are these basses you have build yourself? -
5 band EQ maybe? Not a 5 band as it goes! 3 band according to the website... the mystery continues! -
Told you it wasn't AI though... 😆 Dang 4 stringers... always trying to change the past...
