    There's no possibility (in my mind) that he can rectify this - even if he delivers the bass and even if its half playable, I believe you've had 10+ years of trying to get him to deliver. A bass you've paid for, had to fight for over a decade, and eventually (maybe) actually get, wouldn't class as rectifying the situation. I wouldn't want to own a bass associated with such memories, I'd sell it straight away, net whatever money I could and bought a decent bass.

    Firmly agree with @BigRedX and that doesn't happen often! 😆 Unless you 100% know they want something specific, don't get a 'bass related' present for a bass player! (IMHO) Nothing I hate more than getting a mug or a t-shirt with some loosely 'bass' related pun on it. Can't stand it! But that's just me... HUMBUG!

    Yes, because you're not the first he's done this to or the first to expose him in this manner, you're not the second, third or forth. You're probably the 20th or more. You severely underestimate this man's ability to lie and disappoint.

    I'm hoping my boy will have a passion for music too. Whatever he chooses to be passionate about, I'll support him. But obviously music would be great! He's already got his own little drum kit that he loves, fairly competent using the pedal and sticks... not bad for a 20 month old!

    @Zach - Caligula's Horse have some fantastic bass lines. A track called Autumn off of their album Rise Radiant has a great emotive (to my ears anyway) bass line.

    Another vote for the Cort A6, I've had a few over the years and they do punch well above their second hand price point. £350-400 or so for a decent second hand one would be a good price.

    You can't compare yourself against a baked potato, you're just setting yourself up for a fail... everyone knows that when it comes down to 'baked 'potato vs Mudpup', baked potato wins hands down! 😄

    Depends on how generic the order is, and whether the custom parts of the build are pickups, electronics, tops woods, hardware etc. If Jon is part way through the wood work I expect it'd be fairly easy to share a few snaps of a build he's done previously that's broadly similar to what Eddie is after.

    The man is a master of Bullsh*t, I'd not be surprised if he's just showing you 'stock' photos or videos of past builds. 90% chance he's still shining you on. Hope I'm wrong.

    Sounds great! I've currently got it paired with an Eden Time Traveller combo where the head on that doesn't seem to work any more, but the speaker is still does, so the Laney is acting as the stand-in head for that combo!

    Off Andy goes to place his Fodera order... 😆 Epic community spirit here...

    Sold at £70. 50% lobbed into the Clarky fund!
  13. binky_bass
    Lobbing a bit more into the fund off the back of a small sale. 👍

    To be fair, they were both pretty low value items, so minimal risk to me and minimal point for the seller to cause an issue by not sending them. I'm not sure I'd do it with anything worth more than a few quid though! Still nice to know that in the land of scammers that is online sales platforms, there are still good eggs!

    I was being (what I thought was obviously) hyperbolic!

    Get MDP in a room with Trump, Musk and Putin then remove the oxygen and we'd have a fine old planet!

    This is the exact spec of Rickenbacker I'd want if I wanted a Rickenbacker, which I kind of do, but also don't... I've always wanted one in this spec for many years but know that I'd never really play it as I'm firmly a 6 string bass man. Absolutely lovely though... If I had the spare funds I'd buy it just to scratch the itch!
  18. binky_bass
    The 6 string with a flame top and 5 band EQ comes to a shade over £2000 using the discount codes, not investigated shipping though... tempting, but as I've never played one its too much of a role of the dice, that and I don't have a spare £2000!

    While I agree with you that BC should sit outside businesses buying basses specifically to flip, however if the seller lists a bass at a price they're happy with and someone offers to buy it for that price, I suppose you can't expect the seller to question the buyers motives or particularly care about who is buying it if their price is being met. I've sold basses on here at drop down prices before as I wanted them gone quickly, sometimes they've been bought and resold by members on here for higher prices as they didn't mind waiting longer for the cash. In principle, it's bad form, in practice, the seller gets what they want!

    Hi all, £70 Price is obviously for all 3! Close offers considered as I'd like these gone. Buy them to flip, to keep, to burn... the choice is yours! I have way too many guitars at the moment, so I'm looking to get rid of these three acoustics fairly quickly to make space for yet another guitar I've 'accidentally' bought! One is a 6 string Hohner - I think late 80s, generally good condition, plays well, it's been in my son's playroom for the last year or so - I've used it to play to him without worrying too much about him damaging it (which he hasn't!) One is a 6 string Clarissa round back from 1974 (I think!). Again, it's in overall good condition. Action is definitely a little high towards the dusty end and although it is an Electro-Acousitc, the pick-up currently doesn't work so its just been used as a standard acoustic. The last is a 1970's 12 string 'Hummingbird' type acoustic, it looks lovely (from a distance!) and plays ok when playing chords around the first 4 or 5 frets, but the action down the neck is high. Needs a little work and does have a few zings here and there. All in, there's 3 'vintage' acoustics here, all quite interesting and 2 quite uncommon. I'm not expecting the world for these as I'd like them to go quickly. Cash/bank transfer/Paypal on collection from Wickford, Essex only! I didn't want to put it in the title as it might appear that I'm trying to use a good cause as leverage a sale, but I'll be donating 50% of the sale price to the fund @Clarky got going in the other thread. FYI these have been advertised elsewhere prior to this ad going up for the same price without any mention of a donation (though if they sell elsewhere I'll still make the same 50% of the sale price donation). Russ.

    @petecarlton bought a Crafter acoustic bass from me, a nice and easy transaction! He met me aty hotel, did the deed, had a chat, job done! Another credit to basschat!

    Just collected a lovely Elwood 5 from @david1711. It's a beautiful bass, plays superbly and was exactly as David described. David was a great chap to deal with too, had a good conversation about his Status - would of happily stayed longer if i didn't need to get back to Essex! Thanks David, another credit to Basschat!

    I'm genuinely going to Manchester from Essex tomorrow, can we do it then instead? 😄
  24. binky_bass
    This is when we find out that @Clarky is now on his way to Mexico with the dosh to start his new life with the funds! Well played Clarky, well played... 😄
  25. binky_bass
    I reckon run it till at least close of play tomorrow.
