    [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1494412396' post='3295701'] It's nice to see Ebay terminology evolving. I'll miss "frettles", though. [/quote] "None freted" sounds like something one would find in the "free from" range at Asda. "frettles" is surely a pets name? No wonder you'll miss them...

    Alan Hatswell made great instruments. I've had 2 Bassix EUBs, the last one Alan made for me was an ingenious design, in that the half body design, was also the case which held the neck, bridge, strings, etc for transport. More importantly both sounded great too. I don't play bass anymore so they had to go. GLWTS 500 is a very good price for a lot of instrument. 🙂

    [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1494278727' post='3294711'] This guy doesn't have a background in advertising, does he? [size=4] [/size] [/quote] 😁 I quite like the term "None freted" though

    [quote name='rubis' timestamp='1491549894' post='3273804'] Got one of the first ones that came out, great idea, and very handy to record with Bargain at this price GLWTS [/quote] Thanks. Another cool feature I forgot to mention: The ability to programme and allocate a number of alternate tunings. So at the flick of a switch you can have Drop D, DADGAD, Open E, or whatever you want...very cool and saves fiddling with your tuning pegs between songs.........type bump

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1491046809' post='3270119'] My comment isn't really about the money angle. I'm really thinking more about the benefit of actually sitting and talking about objectives and chemistry. [/quote] This conversation should be regularly reviewed too imho

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1491037162' post='3269990'] My Bro in Law is a cello teacher. I'm at his house atm. He's got someone coming here shortly for an "audition". What's that? It's where a prospective pupil comes for a chat to see if their aims are likely to be met with the teacher. It's FOC and if works both ways. Does this ever happen in the world of bass? [/quote] I stopped teaching 3 years ago, but when I was tutoring, my first 30 minutes were always a free "meet & greet". Also an opportunity to find out what the prospective students aspirations were, and equally important, they had the opportunity to ask questions about what to expect. I could then start to plan lessons accordingly if we both agreed to continue. I felt it was only fair that I took someone's (or a parents) hard earned cash only when they were in an instrument lesson. So yes it does or did happen in the world of bass.

    I played through this at Paul's when picking up a bass from him. OMG what a great little amp, big sound from a tiny footprint. Glwts Paul. John

    Crown XLS 2000 new & unopened. Bought 18mths ago not needed. [URL=http://s1000.photobucket.com/user/basscoach/media/stuffs/received_1819100041686808.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/received_1819100041686808.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1000.photobucket.com/user/basscoach/media/stuffs/IMG-20170228-WA0001.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMG-20170228-WA0001.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Crown's XLS Series amplifiers define the standard for portable PA systems with unmatched performance, technology and affordability. Its advantageous flexibility includes multiple inputs so you can plug in anything and play anywhere, along with several system setup configurations. The integrated crossovers and switch-mode power supply produce superior sound, and Peakx™ limiters protect your speakers. Weighing less than 12 pounds, compared to 40 pounds for its competitors, it's much easier to set up and move from show to show. Simply put, the XLS is most reliable, versatile, efficient amp available today. Stock pics and spec link: http://www.crownaudio.com/en/products/xls-2000 £299 I'm in Bath.

    Lovely cut away Washburn electro acoustic. Grover tuners, jack and xlr inputs, nice 2 band eq, new bridge. Lovely player. Strung with new Ernie Ball bronze light gauge. The D string is a high E string tuned to D, as a hybrid Nashville tuning, but I'll replace with a wound D before letting it go. Collection from Bath/Bristol areas. I don't have a bag, so no postage at present. If I find a box, I'll buy some bubblewrap and post for another £15.

    The last dep gig I did, the regular guy was available, but they kept me on. Their bass player turned up at the gig and watched. Had a drink afterwards and compared notes. Thought it was a nice touch.
