It’s just wearing a bit thin now - to be honest, if the gear in/out posts are anything to go by I’m actually not that bad…or no more prolific a buyer/seller than others on the page. thing is, there are people using this site only to sell stuff - they literally contribute sweet FA other than selling stuff they’ve sniped on eBay or bought off some granny on Facebook. I’m not naming and shaming or getting into that political nonsense - I’ve seen plenty of it in 12 years on the site and known good folk get rattled about over it and blatant folk seem to get away with it. I’m a bloke who earns money, but also has 4 kids - I can play, I do play, but I can’t spunk a grand on a bass and see if it works out - it has to work pretty much straight away; it has to serve a purpose. Give it another 10 years and I might have more disposable income. interestingly - in 25 years of playing, I’m only on my 5th or 6th amp set up - but I know people have 10 amps, multiple rigs in a room. this isn’t aimed at you at all - it is in response though to the “jokes” and “more serious japes”. I’m not a precious character, but to be fair - if every other post is a pisstake…I don’t really get what I’ve done? Again - not aimed at you. wholeheartedly, without banter - Happy Christmas @Bridgehouse

Already covered it mate… New years resolution, buy and sell gear as suits, don’t post on basschat…don’t face the same comments… Its a bass forum - apparently “The number one website in Europe to buy and sell bass gear…” - but don’t actually use it for that…obviously 🙄😂 Happy Christmas 😉

If I don’t pick it up regularly or don’t choose it straight away - it gets sold. 🤷🏻‍♂️😉

No, nothing stagnates here at least. i look at something, I like the look of it, i buy it. if it doesn’t work out, or I have to start throwing £100s to mod it and make it right - I move it on. in this case, I have a few basses that do the same job. It’s lovely - so someone else may as well enjoy it. It doesn’t have to make sense really, even though it does. I’ll never understand people with rooms full of basses in cases, but - more power to them; if that’s their thing.

Yeah really is very vivid - very cool. And impossible to photograph - so much better in person.

I play about an hour a day on days where I’m not recording/rehearsing. Its been here for 3/4 weeks, so…yeah. It has been played. not gigged or rehearsed as singer then guitarist have had covid.

No, 34” 👍🏼

No bass can make my hands work as well as I expect them to…

Dig deeper padwan.

Give me chance - about 4-6 months is usual turnaround 😉🤦🏻‍♂️😂

1986, Japanese, rare as rocking horse poop. Acquisitions mean it’s clear out time…not every day you accidentally buy a musicman sabre. I say accidentally… Anyhow, this bass is special. Identical to that of Tony Kanal’s “Tragic Kingdom” bass Its in very good condition for its 35 years, some buckle pressure marks on the back and tarnishing to the gold hardware. Will come in a TKL padded Gibson Bag - and will have spare pickup surrounds and a few other golden yamaha bits. I’ll get some stick for listing this - and all those who’ll give me stick will know that I just don’t hang on to gear. wearing played in GHS boomers…still a bit of life left in them… collection is preferred, but I would ship at buyers risk and cost - I suspect due to value it might be about £45. £925 NYE price drop

Bought as “unused since the day it was bought”. Stands to reason its in 9.9/10 condition. One tiny mark on the back - I didn’t spot it so it may have happened in my ownership. I have swapped the bridge pickup for a Fender noiseless vintage model, when I surveyed others experiences of Aerodyne basses, the main comment was that the solo’ed bridge pickup was noisy. I also don’t feel much towards the stock chrome strat type knobs, so got some Fender pure vintage jazz knobs. All original parts will be in the deal - pickup was de-soldered at the pot, not just randomly hacked out… Also on the way is a padded fender bag as it came with the original box and nothing else… wearing brand new d’addario 45-100’s. I will include the (still ok) fender strings. Sounds warm, very clean. Collection is preferred as I’d hate a courier to have a pop at something so “new”. but shipping can be done at risk and cost. Sent a bass today £35 unsured in UK.
