    I failed again today and will be failing again for a third time on Saturday. We need a GASAG (Gear Acquisition Syndrome Addiction Group).

    Hi all, Price is £75, not £85! (Just to reflect the overall 'imperfect' condition and for it still to be a cracking deal!) Just got this in a partial trade... and even though I'm a lefty, I actually play bass/guitar as a righty so this is no good to me! It's has a solid spruce top and mahogany sides with a nice all round binding and pearl rosette. It plays well, the action is a bit higher than I'd personally like, but with a set up could be lowered. It has a Fisan pickup and built in tuner and does have a few marks here and there but overall its in good condition. The 'pointed' center bit of the bridge is lifting slightly, but it is still solid. As you can see it's had a few round stickers on it that I've removed, however they have left sun bleach marks that I can't remove. These are around £300 new, so £75 for a solid body Electro-Acoustic with a Fishman pickup seems quite fair given the condition. Collection from Wickford, Essex or we can talk postage, but I don't have a case. I MIGHT be able to find one for extra cost if really needed. Any questions, let me know.

    This guy is another example of the growing number of absolutely deluded eBay sellers... He has a shed load of other instruments at absolutely astronomical prices that NO ONE will ever pay. In his mind he probably sees himself as a millionaire based on the prices he gives his inventory - in reality the cumulative value of his stock is probably 10% of what he's trying to get out of it.

    Scroll up sir! its the Crafter acoustic bass, the Crafter nylon and the Peavey half stack.

    Likewise. I have two Italia straps too, both excellent things! At least on par with Pinegrove and the proper leather Richter straps IMO.

    Happy to say none!

    I've been known to enjoy a Crafter or two... 9 of the 12 Anniversary Edition acoustics. They absolutely punch well above their weight. I have a non-export Korean Dragon (the one with the pick guard below) and it is phenomenal. A far stretch better than a USA Martin Dreadnought I had a while back.

    These are re-branded Wharfedale cabs. Only heard good things about these. If you're lurking round Essex I'd be happy to take it!

    I'll talk to you in a week or so when I'll no doubt be bored of it! 😂

    A little unnecessary, but when a deal is too good to pass up...
  11. binky_bass
    Well I'm out. Lasted a week.
  12. binky_bass
    Well... ain't that just a bit unique! Any chance of a full picture? You have piqued my curiosity sir!

    Can we have a 1st week of January amnesty? There's something I want to buy... 😂
  14. binky_bass
    So would I! But unfortunately it's still here... Open to a FAIR offer, else it'll end up in the loft for eternity.

    GR Bass make some fantastic gear - this is probably the best genuinely useful small combo on the market.

    I'll join, but in a similar vein to @hiram.k.hackenbacker - I have a fully paid up for ACG that's due to arrive in a few weeks, as it's fully paid up and just waiting to be shipped I'm thinking it doesn't count! if the consensus agree, add me to the list!
  17. binky_bass
    So disappointed that this ACG doesn't have a giant Miley inlay on the front of it...

    A good strap is a good shout... I use Richter, Pinegrove and Italia straps. All excellent. Italia seem to have a constant 2-4-1 deal and they are very good straps! Hand made in California to order.

    I went from a 4 string Ibanez Roadster to a 10 string bass (Binky) years back, now I mostly play 6 strings, and the occasional 8, 9 and 10 string! You'll be surprised how much more you can express yourself on a 6 string, you might absolutely love it! Treat yourself to a reasonably cheap second hand 6 string (HB or Ibanez), and if you don't like it after 6 months, sell it on, break ever (maybe turn a small profit!) and then use that money to upgrade your Squier Or... if you get the 6 string bug, then welcome to the REAL world of bass! 😁

    Absolutely lovely bass!
  21. binky_bass
    You should buy it and put yourself out of misery! £900 is a steal... if this was a rightly you could probably double that price tag.

    I know a great guy, but he's long dead, however I'll lend you my Delorean so you can go back in time 14 years to when this thread started and when he was alive. He'll sort you right out.

    PM'd

    @Friskydingo - get a cheap 6 string bass. You'll not regret it.
  25. binky_bass
    I concur with everyone else... £100 isn't a steal, these aren't great amps. For £100 I'm pretty sure you can find something else in the for sale section that's better. Or an old Trace Elliot combo from eBay...
