    Once the stand is made I’ll probably ditch the body brackets.
  2. oldslapper
    That’s what it folds down into. Reasonably comfortable.

    Open to offers.

    Without doubt one of the best after sales service anywhere.

    Well I picked this up from young @Burns-bass this very morn. (Always a pleasure L.) Its fab. Ran it through the wee Gnome/EA set up and it sounded ace. My mate is going to fashion a bracket for the back so I can use it with a stand like an NS. Despite L’s rather low key ad description, it’s actually nicely made with a good quality feel in your hands. Little bit o’ fettling with the bridge and it’s good to go. Also love the fact that it folds down for easier transport. Happy Slappy! 😎

    Cheers Chris. Hadn’t been played out since first lockdown and been in the case for 6-8 months. Needs to be played, and need the money 😭

    Reluctant sale but needs must. Seagull S6 E/Acoustic Guitar. Comes with new Tourtec Hard case, or for £250 it’ll come in a very decent quality gigbag. But I’ll only post if you choose the hard case. Only a couple of things to note (pictured) a small dent on the neck by the 9th fret marker and the laminate has a small damage at the bottom near the jack socket. Neither of which have any effect on playability, sound or structure of the guitar. Super low action as I don’t strum, always finger pick or bit of lead playing with a pick. This record’s beautifully and always gets positive comments from engineers. I’ll pop a capo in and unused pkt of martins 13’s. It’s tuned a tone down and that low D really suits it. This guitar is from the Godin company and made in Canada. Here’s the spec: Type: Dreadnought Back & sides: cherry Top: Solid cedar Neck: Maple Fretboard: Rosewood (Dalbergia Latifolia) Dot fretboard inlays Scale: 648 mm (25.5") Nut width: 45.7 mm (1.8") 21 Frets Rosewood bridge (Dalbergia latifolia) Colour: Natural Made in Canada Posted with case £299 Handed over in person with case £275 Handed over in gig bag £250 No trades I’m afraid. Thanks for looking. John

    If you are uncomfortable, then don’t proceed.

    Big price difference, but I’m wondering if quality of components and manufacturing are where you win? Thoughts/experience

    Just looked on the web, like I should have done and it is.

    Sorry for my ignorance but is it an active circuit? I may take this, I’ll PM you.

    First MM I’ve had for years. Although I’ve put a P neck on it that I prefer, and a preamp out of a Brubaker that has some coil blending. I’m pleased with the way that the pattern looks. It’s just a stick on sheet I cut to shape.

    My mate runs a sign writing company and could do a wrap for me. 😎

    Just a bit o’ fun… New band The PsychoDalias. I thought I’d try a different scratch-plate to reflect the bands name. Thoughts? Keep the black carbon original, or the new one? Control plate…keep black, or psychedelic it up?

    Rare G3140 Historic Series Gretsch Made between 1999-2003 by Peerless, with USA DeArmond pups. Sublime build, in excellent condition, play’s wonderfully. Zero fret wear and looks as cool as anything. Bought this from a dealer and it hasn’t left my house, only taken out of the case to play or just look at 🥰. These are significant improvement over the current Far Eastern offerings (which are pretty good btw). I’ve allowed GAS to get the better of me and I need to balance the books, so as this doesn’t get played it’s on offer. It comes in a new Tourtec (non Gretsch) hard case. Collection welcome from Bath, or meet up by prior agreement around Bristol or midweek in Dorset Poole/Bournemouth/Shaftesbury areas. £599 Add £25 postage uk only.

    Hi you beauties Does anyone local to Bath/Bristol areas have an old semi acoustic bass (hofner/guild sort of thing) that I could borrow for a photo shoot please? Can be broken, not working, in state of disrepair, in fact the grubbier the better? Date to be confirmed so no rush. Happy to pay a deposit or rent it. Thanks for any assistance. John

    No idea, but it’d look gert pretty 😊
  19. oldslapper
    I take one for each song. So if the set has 20 songs, I take one bass.

    That’s a lovely looking bass, bet those Pups growl like my Rottie. Also Pete is great guy to do business with, buy with confidence. Sadly jazz necks aren’t my bag otherwise I’d be down that canal on a speed boat! glwts
  22. oldslapper
    Aww same here. That’s lovely. 😊

    Thanks @Woodinblack I genuinely thought it was a scam email. Glad you guys are on this stuff. 🙏

    I had a message yesterday in my associated basschat email account telling me I had been locked out of basschat temporarily due to site issues. It asked me to log in again through the link provided in the email. The email had my user name. However, I didn’t follow through with the instructions, but quickly looked on here to find I wasn’t locked out. I never follow links in emails unless it’s actioning a request I’ve made on a site I know and trust. The scum are sniffing around.

    Marvellous. I’ll drop you a message. Cheers , John
