Bought a keyboard from Shep, it's a pleasure to deal with him! He made sure that it was delivered quickly & it was very well packed. Deal with confidence Many thanks Shep!

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1427388621' post='2729807'] This has happened quite a lot. I've received a shipping confirmation for mine, so I presume that's OK. But, it seems that their computer systems are not robust enough. You ordered yours at 9:36am or before. I don't know how long after that they sold out as I was in transit after that and not online. One thing: What happens if the disappearing deko is part of a bigger order, made to dilute the shipping cost? I presume that in that case, the rest of the order will ship, and the shipping cost will be less diluted. [/quote] I ordered one of the PJ5's just before Chris (think it was about 9.15am). I've just received an email saying that unfortunately the item is no longer available Oh well never mind - I may need a 5 string shortly for a band reunion so I might order one at the full price anyway. Thanks for the heads up though Mr Twit!

[quote name='tonybassplayer' timestamp='1426923547' post='2723432'] I have heard the arguments, comments, criticisms etc etc for years but one day in the future when I have some money spare I am just going to buy one. Nothing looks as cool as a bassist with a Ricky !! I hear the same argument from MX5 and numerous other car model owners ( fabulous cars so please don't shoot me down ) about how they are the sensible choice above an MGB I know it's not the sensible option but I love my MGB [/quote] That's just ridiculous - everybody knows the MGF is the sensible choice. MX5 pah! - no character

[quote name='CyberBass' timestamp='1419873886' post='2643435'] Thanks for delivering. Have started working on her. Have put on amps page with pics after cleaning. Will keep you posted how she turns out :-) thanks again [/quote] Yes please let me know how you get on with her. Look forward to seeing how she turns out.

Just sold my Fender Jaguar bass to Jonathan. It was a real pleasure meeting & dealing with him. We had good communication between us & it was a nice easy transaction. Thanks very much for buying the bass & I hope you enjoy playing it!! Steve

[quote name='bigd1' timestamp='1418558217' post='2631115'] Where can I get a small flight case from, the sort of size for leads and a few pedals etc small case type of thing. I've done a few searches but don't seem to be able to find what I'm looking for, second hand/ used would be good. Fank EEEeeeeeee Ta very glad BIGd [/quote] Maplins have a set of three for £29.99 (if you're not desperate they sometimes have them on special offer) or some larger coloured ones at £39.99. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/flight-case-triple-pack-with-dividers-n50ju http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/maplin-flight-case-coloured-triple-pack-n31de Hope this helps

[quote name='Shabbs' timestamp='1417988938' post='2625846'] How about a sponsored push up to me in Glasgow ? [/quote] Well it is on wheels! It would be OK going downhill (although I wouldn't want to be the one who had to stop it) but when it came to going uphill it would need a winch fitting & a handy nearby tree, preferably something big & sturdy like an Oak tree, to attach the rope to. I'm sure there are plenty of Basschatters who would sponsor you to push it - I bet they would even come & cheer you on

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1417807220' post='2624272'] Living in Leicester, I was tempted by this. However, after some thought, I don't have the skills to check it out for electrical safety. Looks like a nice project for someone with more electrical nous than I. [/quote] I did think about you when I put it on here. It's a shame - do you know anyone who could check it for you?

Following a phone call from my Dad I have just re-discovered an old Pearl Bass Combo that I had abandoned at his house around 20 years ago. It is a rare Pearl (as in the drum company) SG-101B bass combo. It's a large heavy beast (I took a pic with it next to a radiator so you can gauge the size) & is very solidly built with sturdy side handles. It is a ported cab with a 1x15" speaker & I believe it's 100 watts (old school watts!). This combo was gigged extensively so has loads of "mojo" from being loaded & unloaded into & out of vans/venues etc. It was only abandoned when I was asked to join a new band as they owned a Peavey T-Max which I inherited. It had been serviced & had a new speaker fitted just prior to being retired. Unfortunately this has been stored in a damp under stairs cupboard so will need someone with electrical knowledge to check it out to ensure it's safe. I have briefly plugged it in & switched it on, the power light lights up but I have not plugged a bass into it so I don't know whether it still works. There was some crackling when I turned the volume, treble, bass & middle dials so it may be that the pots could do with a spray of switch cleaner. As you can see the covering is a little bit "musty" but I think this would clean up - there are tears in the covering & speaker grill from all the use it got. If you want this you will need to collect it as there is no way I'm packing this up & taking it to the Post Office!! Options for collection are: Collect from Desborough Northants (Weekend or some eves) or from near Thurmaston in Leicester (Weekday daytime) or possibly Hales In Norfolk (weekend) at a push. [u][b]DISCLAIMER[/b][/u] This amp hasn't been used for twenty years, I don't know what condition it is in electrically & it has been stored in a damp environment so it is your responsibility to ensure it is safe to use. I would strongly recommend getting the electrics checked out. I will accept no responsibility if you plug this in & electrocute yourself or other people!! Hopefully this will be of use to someone but if no-one contacts me for it within a couple of weeks it will go to the local tip as it's taking up too much space.

[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1398119201' post='2430746'] Judging by those roots she's an aeroplane blond. Only in this case it might be more of a grey box below rather than a black one. [/quote] That's a bit below the belt!

Just done an exchange deal with Grae. He is a really nice guy & great to deal with. We exchanged lots of emails & texts & it was a pleasure to actually meet up with him - it was a real shame that I was pushed for time so had to rush off. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Grae to anyone, you can trade with him with confidence. Hope you enjoy the bass Grae. Cheers Steve

Just bought a set of strings from Tim (Oggy). He's a pleasure to deal with, the strings were exactly as he described them, very well packed & delivered super quick. I'd have no hesitation in dealing with Tim again, trade with confidence. Thanks Tim!

Sold Anth my Vintage Icon 'Jaco' Fretless for which he paid immediately. He's a real nice guy & a pleasure to deal with. You'll have no problems at all trading with Anth. Thanks for buying the bass mate, enjoy it & hope to deal with you again.

I've just sold my Ibanez Gio to Ed. He's a real pleasure to deal with, he paid for the bass straight away & we had great communication throughout. I thoroughly recommend Ed - you'll have no worries dealing with him. Thanks for buying the bass Ed - enjoy!!

I've just sold my Japanese Epiphone EB3 to Julian (Soulman). He paid very promptly & communication was excellent. You'll have no worries trading with him at all. Hope you enjoy the bass mate.
