    Picked up this on Thursday. LX basses are genuinely excellent things... I've had a few top end masterbuilt Warwicks over the years and the LXs are really just as good.

    To chime in, I've bought a few things over the years, some dirt cheap, some well over a grand. Never had a bad experience yet, found the team easy to speak to and quick to get back to me. Can't really fault them.

    Ahh man, I was in Blackburn on business on Wednesday just gone! I'd have had this if I'd seen it earlier... not making the journey back up from Essex for at least another 3 months.

    Hi all, I'm going to sell my very recently acquired Squier Affinity Jazz Bass VI as A: as genuinely good as it is, I really miss 24 frets and B: Something else has unexpectedly come along that I 'must have'. It is absolutely brand new, touched by me for all of 5 minutes. I have all the original packaging etc. It is totally unmarked with zero playtime except for me giving it the briefest of test runs. These are £330 from most places and yes Thomann do them for £235 BUT there is a 12 week wait, so what I am asking is that same price plus postage without the 4 month wait. I won't reduce the price as I'd rather just keep it and I'm not after trades. So £250 posted to you or £235 collect. It's mint, it's genuinely exceptionally good for the price and it's all boxed!

    Definitely a fan of @Cosmicrains work. Love that 6er too... If you could kindly turn that picture into the actual bass and send it to me, I'd be much obliged.

    Mildly, the guy was decent, he rocked up with another big dude and I'm 95% sure he sent a younger guy to scout me out as there was a guy that turned up about 10 mins before he did and was very obviously looking at me as he walked back and forth a good few times... so while a little odd, all was legit. Deal done in a public space, cash only withdrawn after I'd seen the bass etc. I had asked him to send me some specific pictures before hand which he did and the background matched the eBay photos. So... not all that seems sketchy is sketchy! Though absolutely worth having taken a good number of precautions...

    It has been liberated.

    Dunlop Dual Design StrapLoks are what I have on all my instruments and straps - makes for super easy change overs from instrument to instrument. I've had Schaller before and while they are perfectly good, the Dunlops feel more secure and work for any instruments that might have recessed strap attachments like Warwick or Conklin.

    It's an odd one, a few things have now changed on the listing too. I have had a bit of a chat with the guy, still not 100% convinced if I'm honest (various reasons). Will report back later in the week...

    Jeez, just looked these up out of curiosity, they're near £1200 new! Never knew you could get such expensive rack cases! It's not for me, but £500 for something practically new that's £1200 if bought from a shop has got to be a steal for someone looking for something like this.

    Cool.

    Not to the degree he ended up being and the empire they ended up with. Have a read, it's a good book.

    Actually, it was very arguably Sharon that made Ozzy famous. (Yes, I have recently finished his autobiography!)

    Yeah, easy to swipe pictures of something valuable, also easy to now use AI for a half-passable description...

    Feels very much 'unlegit'. Have asked the seller a simple question, doubt I'll get a response. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405525715716?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tya2sjnks3k&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=mojaVkKDRiC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    These prices really don't surprise me... I doubt they'd have any issues selling out either and with a good slab of this going to charity then I suppose it's for the best that they max out the monies raised. I do want to go, but at £250 for standing, I'm definitely going to have to debate this hard!

    No worries, appreciate you trying! 🙂

    Out of the 2000-3000 basses/guitars I've owned over the years, this one is the one that I severely regret letting go. A Nordstrand NX6, hand made by Carey Nordstrand before his pickups went mainstream. An unbelievable beast that I've hunted to find again but it's never resurfaced.

    I've got a good number of exotic wood topped instruments - buckeye burl, camphor burl, spalted maple, quilt maple, birdseye maple, bubinga, ziricote etc. When I need to give them a once over I just use a decent furniture polish and a lint free rag. Never had an issue, always worked well regardless of the wood. I'm sure someone will be along in a moment to tell me that I've committed some kind of wood sin, but it's worked for me for 20 years on hundreds of instruments with zero issues.

    Cheers pal, much appreciated! For reference, the bass I have is 4 on top and 2 below. 👍

    It's only one I'd need reversing. I'm not 100% on whether I'd bother upgrading the existing tuners on the bass i have in mind for these, but I'd need to know for sure if one can be reversed before giving it proper consideration. Would you be willing to (non-destructively!) see if its doable? No worries if not!

    Are these interchangeable left to right?

    Not quite your £4000 P-bass @Beedster, but on Monday a brand new bass got delivered while I was away in Scotland, it was left outside our front door in the rain. Luckily we live (as you've seen!) down a pot hole ridden 'private' road that doesn't really even look residential! So it's unlikely for things to get snatched up, but still... a new bass (the driver had no idea of value) left outside in the rain... Top work! It's little things like this, all these little 1% gripes, that are more and more prevalent in life which causes more and more anger and agitation in society and gives way to the 'anything is better than this' mindset which creates paths for the Trump and Farages of the world. IMO.

    Just had this arrive... For the £230 price tag, including delivery, it's a ridiculous bargain.
