Almost as if they made a guitar without ever seeing one and having it described to them

It's orange as thats Prusament orange PETG and that was on the printer. The other printer had black and that was too dark. @Smanth knows all about this colour Rob

I have an iRig HD 2 interface. It works really well on my Mac but its very light and cables move it around and it's a PITA to keep it steady. So I had a think and realised I had a little tripod which I used for Raspberry Pi stop motion photography. My daughters were keen on this a few years ago but no longer, Its a desktop version, is small and well made and hence heavy. It has a standard clamp on the top of the little plates for attaching cameras to. I looked at the tripod and the iRig. Tryed to cable tie it to the tripod and realised it looked garbage and the obvious answer was to print a iRig HD2 holder with a built in section for clamping to. It turned out rather well, see pictures. if anybody wants the STL file, the Fusion 360 file or a gcode file to use themselves you can have it and do with it whatever you will. If you ask me nicely I'll even print and post it for free. A voluntary donation to the North West Air Ambulance is welcome but not essential I'm rather pleased with it. It holds the guitar cables securely, doesn;t move with the guitar cables and you can access all the controls quickly and easily. The iRig slides in and out, it's tightish but not difficult to remove.

I have no shame asking as I'm not that knowledgable and would miss obvious things that other people who know more would immediately spot. In return, I can advise on all sorts of useful things such as public sector procurment, contract law as it pertains to G-Cloud contracts, delivery of complex IT projects, C/Perl programming and Unix kernel development, 3d printing and coaching girls rugby teams. A rich source of information that apparently nobody has any interest in whatsoever Rob

What this has taught me, is that before I buy, check with people here about their thoughts and also if a guitar price is too good to be true, it may be too good to be true. Rob

Somebody has put a lot of time into this. They may not have done a good musical job but 1. There are the right number of strings for a six string. 2. The bridge appears to be in more or less the right place. There does not appear to be any holes from where a blind person has attempted to repeatedly attach the bridge. 3. It appears to be one guitar and not the off spring of two random guitars smashed together. 4. From a wood working point of view, there is skill here. I couldn't make that, but then again I struggle putting a nail in a plank without losing an eye. On the downsides, 1. The frets are so high, there is a small micro climate in their shade. 2. The head looks like it's heavier than the body. I don't think neck dive would be a problem, as you may never pick the head up off the floor. 3. The strings look like actual string but that could be my eyes. Your point about how it sounds is spot on. I have no idea how it would sound and would love to know. As a prop in a film, or in somebodies man cave, this might work. I like it in a sort of eccentric kind of way. Would I pay £300 for it, no. Would I pay anything, probably not as I'm looking at another <ahem> non bass guitar for my daughter. The CFO explicitly asked me yesterday how many guitars I have. That was a very difficult question to answer that didn't involve a lie. So I invoked the "weren't very expensive" counter argument and mumbled a bit about saying "six" then realised it was "seven" and had to correct myself. I then said some were my daughters (who can;t actually play). This provoked a raised eye brow, so suspect I'm sleeping alone for a night or so 😢 Rob

You're absolutely right, it is still there. It had something like item not available when i glanced at it yesterday. I could also have been completely wrong, but am a little surprised. Perhaps Reverb likes the 8% they get off this. Rob

That's a problem I'd love to have. They do say you should never meet your heroes, perhaps it's better if I never have a 60's bass. To be honest I couldn't play well enough to do it justice. I've a 97 MIJ Jazz and a MIM Mustang and they are superb guitars. I can't complain about them at all. I really like the Mustang. Nice problem to have.

That's so unfair 😩

It's no longer on Reverb now

I love the writing on the case just to remind you there's a drop dead gorgeous 64 Precision bass inside. Just in case you forget which one it is 😊

I think id need to self medicate to play that. Would be great on Game of Thrones or similar

I have Biasfx2 Elite on the iPad, but not on the Mac. Thanks very much for this,.

Very very nice. The guitar extrudes attitude. I’d be over the moon if I accomplished what you’ve done. Rob

I have a tiny side business that sells Astrophotography gear. We take PayPal, indeed for international orders that’s all we take. We don’t allow the NoCheques with PayPal but so far so good. However we’ve never had a customer complain about our goods. I know PayPal take a cut but it’s worth it to us. Ask me again when PayPal pink torpedos this up or a customer complains 😳 Still interested in the response here. However if there are issues , they should not be played out in public here. This is not the right forum for this. rob

I looked at this on Google as well and can see how the Authorised Payment Push Scam works. This doesn’t seem to be that, the APP appears to be based on you actually authorising a move to another bank account of a large (or any) amount of money but are given false information as to where it’s going and why. Either a dodgy seller and I’m not impugning anybody here at all or somebody pretending to be the bank and ‘alerting’ you to potential fraud and you must move your money now or lose it. This was a fairly clear explanation. https://www.psr.org.uk/our-work/app-scams/ Just read the thread again so I’m not going to get caught out but I’m sure I’ve missed something important here so what is it please? I know the banks admit to nothing but I can’t work out how this is an APP Scam. Simple words welcomed. thanks rob

Errr, it’s not just a beginners mistake …. 😉

If you want to give away any stuff, more than happy to turn up with a van to help. Absolutely no charge to you whatsoever. I’m looking for a pre 64 Precision if you happen to have one that’s taking up space and not been used 😀

I’m looking for a guitar as well. Got a lovely old Washburn that I have given to daughter so clearly I need a new one for these fat fingers to play. just got a seven guitar rack and there is a space so it’s only natural. That’s what I’ll tell the CFO , the guitar rack made me do it.

It appears that the agreement between Basschat and the third party whose name escapes me is in hold pending discussions. A lot of people aren’t happy about having their data passed to 3rd parties and lack of an easy way to opt out. rob

Power distribution board?

Welcome from North Yorkshire though we do go to Lancaster lots. Rob

Or, bear with me here, I have a radical idea, they could have brought this one https://www.epiphone.com/en-GB/Electric-Bass/Newport-Bass/Cherry Then again, I suppose they'd have then painted it badly in bright yellow. After saying all of this, I have an Ibanez Mikro that looks like somebody (not me) used it for a shovel and pick axe on a building site. Even though it looks like crap, it sounds really, really good, I have no idea how, but it's a great growly tone on it. So I thought I'd get somebody to look at the neck, I'll then sort the body out, it stands me at virtually nothing, so will be fun. I can see the sander coming out, it will have to be reliced (is that really a word?) as the thickness of the paint/plastic/covering is very thick, circa 1mm, so can't be easily repainted. With my skills, it'll be on eBay in a few weeks as I rage quite on it Rob

Looks like a hot air gun got involved at some point as well as a sanding machine. Oh well somebody is going to have to spend less than £220 to put it back to a reasonable state, whatever that would be.

I can't get my head around having a new £350 bass, deciding to strip it because you didn't like yellow, deciding it was topo much effort after just enough effort to wreck it, but not enough to give somebody else a fighting chance of finishing it and then selling it on eBay for £120. Well it's gone now so either they changed their mind or somebody brought it. Rob
