Willcox Guitars Saber VL5 Fretless Trades
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! -

Just another reason Reverb's the place to shop
binky_bass replied to jd56hawk's topic in Bass Guitars
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?

binky_bass replied to jd56hawk's topic in Bass Guitars
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.

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... 😆

Told you it wasn't AI though... 😆 Dang 4 stringers... always trying to change the past...

Jaco only needed 6... (and no, it's not AI!)

Take the 22nd fret out and smash it into the missing 9th fret slot. Problem solved. Well, that problem anyway!

Aguilar dcb D4 pick up set

Most curious thing/description ever listed on BassChat?
-
It does indeed sir. Many moons ago I had a WT800 with two 410XLT cabs paired with a US Spector NS6XL, probably the best sounding set up I've ever had. The WT1205 is going through a 610XLT cab and sounds quite glorious! Couldn't pass up on that rig when it came up for sale a while back... £50 for your US Eden head is a dang steal... Ex-combo or not!
