I’ve done all 3 with items bought here and from other sources. Sold at a profit Sold at a loss Given stuff away My question is at what point does an item become “flipped”? One day, one week, one month?

Everything I own - Ken Boothe. Love that tune the way he did it.

So they don’t like what you do, but aren’t prepared to take on the responsibility for any between song engagement themselves? Helpful 🙄 Good audience engagement is a skill. I’d prefer it kept to a bare minimum and only if the person is clearly interested in the audience. Not enough bands rehearse transitioning from one song to the next at the best of times. Too much gazing at their pedal settings, or tuners, or waiting for the drummer (or whoever) to count the next song in. Should be “Thankyou…1,2,3,4…” unless you think a song needs an introduction because of some significant meaning, or the guitarist needs time for a cuddle from their mum because no one noticed he brought his ‘63 Les Strat with the mandolin duck down bridge spoon. 🙄 Bands!!

What’s brewing Mickey?

I have owned the fretted version. Very nice bass it was too. Tempted but will resist.

GH are down the road from me. I’ve scored some bargains and it’s good to be able to take a look beforehand. I pre bid, limit my bidding and don’t check in until after the auction has finished. That way I don’t get caught up in ”auction frenzy”. It may be different if it’s something I’m desperate for or is rare, but even then I limit my bidding. You’re right, it’s important to factor in the fairly high commission.

1976. 15 years old with my first bass. Made by Gary Nava, school mate (now makes bespoke instruments for people like Matt Bellamy). 2024. My last gig before retiring from live bass duties.

I constantly asked for separate vocal rehearsals with just an acoustic guitar. But was met with resistance, or guitarists turning up with full kit. 🙄
