  1. My thoughts exactly. I have many a time sold things for more than I've paid for them, it's simply business. But I've never hidden the fact or glazed my sale with misrepresentations of the truth. Buy anything, sell it for whatever you want, that's business, no problems, but do it fairly and honestly. This forum has a tendency to quickly identify dishonesty.
  2. Buckeye top, Camphor back. 100%. Aimed to mirror Binky, my 10 string Bee Bass!
  3. They're now awful basses, certainly not fantastic, but definitely playable. Plus I doubt you'd loose much money if you eBay'd it down the line. Someone will take it for £120ish with a case all day long.
  4. In these current times any sane person wouldn't want to live in England!
  5. It is indeed an ugly beast... the one thing that doesn't cost much is choosing a shape, and as the Knight Templar in Indiana Jones once said "You chose poorly".
  6. Makes my old one look dirt cheap doesn't it!!
  7. Just seen this... These aren't great basses but as an introduction to 6 string bass you can do far worse for far more money... £125.99 for a 6 string active through neck bass with decent hard case and next day delivery. Worth a punt for anyone debating 6 string basses... https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Oregon-6-String-Bass-Guitar-by-Gear4music-Natural-B-Stock/CBV?origin=product-ads&utm_campaign=PLA+Shop+-+G4M&utm_medium=vertical_search&network=google&adgroup=G4M.+Bass+Guitars&merchant_id=1279443&product_id=15979d1&product_country=GB&product_partition_id=88898528479&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv-2KysrG4gIVIQzTCh3UkgqNEAYYASABEgKVqfD_BwE
  8. I've had a few ACGs over the years, I currently have a 9 string ACG and am definitely looking forward to my 6 string hopefully to be delivered in December if I'm lucky! Great basses for sure.
  9. If I hadn't placed a fresh 6 string order with ACG a few weeks ago I'd be all over this...
  10. I think I might have a chrome knob for the top of a stacked pot somewhere at home. I'll have a look over the weekend, if I can find it's your's if you want it. The other way to look at it is that you've got the rest of the bass to match my knob! 😂
  11. Top wood and headstock cap: Back wood and rear headstock cap:
  12. As mentioned, you bought it, it's your bass, you can ask whatever price you want, no judgement at all on that. Just more that it was never advertised as a USA so some might think you advertising it as such was to get a higher price. If it's a genuine misunderstanding that's now been rectified, then no issues and good luck with the sale!
  13. So this sold on eBay on 17/04/2019 for £595. The description states it is an Ernie Ball 'Stirling' with no mention to it being a USA body. Looks like it was sold by a know fellow BassChatter. Nowt wrong with the description in my eyes. If it was you that bought it, I'm not sure how you're losing money by asking £725. Not to derail you ad, and you are entitled to ask what you want and turn a fair profit, but a few things appear to be distortions of the truth!
  14. If the eBay advert stated USA and you paid via PayPal then you're protected. Get you're money back sir.
  15. @BENITO, I think your translation into English may not be 100% correct. I assume you mean the original tuners have been changed for Gotoh, but the original ones are included? There's a few other bits that may have been lost in translation!
  16. Nice, although perhaps somewhat an acquired taste! Being half French, and this looking like the Tricolore (from the back anyway!) it could be of interest, though I fear I don't have much in the way of 4 strings for trade bait!
  17. Being a 12 year 'veteran' of the site I should know better! 😂 Lovely bass either way sir.
  18. Cracking price. The market is super tough unless you happen to be selling the exact bass someone is looking for. Surely at under £600 this will sell... if it were a 6er I'd have bought it already.
  19. A rare and quite fantastic bass. I had the opportunity to play Jean Baudin's 12 string JP bass some years ago, the build quality was excellent. This looks to qualify for that same excellence.
  20. Sold my Shuker 6 to Victor to raise some funds for a Custom ACG. Totally smooth transaction, lots of positive communication, Victor is someone I'm more than happy to do business with again! A credit to basschat and a trustworthy buyer. 🍻
  21. Nice, always fancied one of these...
