  1. Bought as part of a package with another instrument I wanted - thought my daughter would prefer the nylon strings but she’s too used to steel strings to get on with it - I’m a bass player and while it’s lovely (was genuinely surprised by the sound it produces) it’s only going to gather dust now. The original machineheads were non functional so I’ve put some new ones on which seem really solid, as well as a new set of d’addario strings. Had a clean up, fret polish etc so it’s good to go. No case - will Chuck in a clip on tuner as I seem to have amassed a few of these (may need a battery). Marlin, 1980’s - £50 Got embroiled in another bass deal…so this has to go. Can ship in uk for £15 ish - would be at risk of buyer.
  2. So…in actual answer to the OP. I tend to wear long sleeves on stage and because I used to bite my nails as a sprog - I keep them trimmed, so no Nail marks… Some light forearm wear and thinned finish on the back of the neck - but fairly uniform as I play on most bits of the neck… My longest serving bass was an old Warwick which did have wear under the G string between the neck pickup and fingerboard end as I was a slapaholic between 17-23 and it was my only real bass during a music college course. Wouldn't happen now 😂 There’s also the old poke that I don’t keep basses long enough to add wear…but i suspect the current crop will start to show as I’m gigging these a lot more. (apologies for totally misunderstanding the original idea @Steve Browning)
  3. This is just unbelievable… Sat here for a 3rd night just speechless. 🥰
  4. Sorry. Multi tasking didn’t fully read anything… I’ll get my coat 🤦🏻‍♂️
  5. I’m always debating this. I think a 2 pickup Casady (in itself a signature of a signature…sort of) Possible centre block to reduce feedback when I do fuzz it up… With ripper wiring - but 5 positions to have “just neck pickup” so it’d be a signature of a signature of a signature… Blue Sparkle Silver Sparkle Purple Sparkle nobody would buy it and I could have them all.
  6. Oh jeeez 🫣 Thank you so much mate. just cannot thank people enough
  7. I cannot add a Reaction. I’ve just said to @Clarky this is the maddest thing that’s ever happened to me. I cannot express it to you all. I’m hopeful that in any way I can return the favour or some gesture in the future x
  8. I’m just coming out of work - this has changed my perception of so many things - it’s amazed me.
  9. I was ready to give up - took a chance on an advert and I’ve never been happier with a band. I’d left a really solid band which had imploded… Auditioned and knocked back a couple of bands - just not right. I just gave up, a band landed in my lap. Join My Band is a really mad mix. Not been on in ages now… I suppose my point is - it will happen, just when you least expect.
  10. are you Rob from Basschat…. ”I’m Spartacus!!!” (That one’s for Martin 😎)
  11. I’ve run out of words…hence the confused emoji (I’ve got my reactions back!)
  12. The level of generosity is astounding… Just so many good good people… I feel a song coming on…
  13. @Clarky I’ve just had God on the phone… he says he’s ok if you take over. for a Victoria sponge and a fiver… Honestly guys. Iris is snoring them home now, but I’ll speak to her about this tomorrow. You’re all wonderful, mad…but absolutely gorgeous.
