    [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1430061171' post='2757568'] I'd like the marketplace sub-forums divided up into manufacturer, type, colour, board type, scratchplate, number of strings, geographical location down to ward level and price bands in £10 increments. Example: [b]Forum[/b]: [size=3][i]Fender[/i] / Jazz / [i]Natural[/i] / RW / [i]Blk[/i] / 4st / [i]England / [/i]South Midlands[i] / [/i] [i]Oxfordshire[/i] / North Oxfordshire / [i]Banbury [/i]/ BA15 / [i]Shenington with Alkerton[/i] / £500-£510[/size] The benefit of this approach is that it would make things much easier for me and more difficult for everyone else. That's right. I said it. [/quote] That’s just unacceptable; you’ve omitted vital information like constellation and nearest galaxy

    [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1429953486' post='2756592'] If there is sub sections, i would rather it be done on price. 0-£500, £501-£1000, £1001-£1500,£1501-£50000 for example. If you divide all the basses into Fenders, etc, then you could miss a bargain that you hadn`t originally thought about, [/quote] This for me would be the main thing as I suspect a lot of us work to a budget when GAS strikes. As we have the sale/trade value field that is set and (I think) cannot be changed, could this be used as some sort of filter?

    There was a 3TSB Antoria with these p/ups on evilbay recently. I'm sure bassassasin will be along shortly to shed light on this murky corner!

    [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1430031141' post='2757169'] Did this make an appearance (whatever it is)? [/quote] None of that kind of thing! Different bass player now but doing very lovely things on a 5-string Sadowsky. He absolutely nailed the bass solo in Ashes Are Burning.

    Excellent gig in St Helens last night, Renaissance will excellent support act Agnieszka Swita (hopefully correctly spelt). Haven't seen Renaissance for an age, must be knocking on for 25 years+, but still on top form and with new material too.

    Just acquired this form a fellow BCer. I'm not a natural Fender fan, but this has the potential to radically change my perceptions.[attachment=190370:Fender Jazz.jpg]

    ead replied to hamfist's topic in Feedback

    I must echo what hamfist said. Gareth is a completely top bloke. He went to no end of trouble to respond to PMs, send me additional pics, kept me right up to date with everything all the way through. The bass landed safely, was beautifully packaged and exactly as described. Truely the toppest of top bananas, deal with complete confidence.

    JFDI, I have a few fretless basses and it's a different dimenion completely to bass playing. The black ACG f/s in my sig is being replaced by the 5er....

    I had an MIJ Jazz fretless that had been fitted with with Wizard 84s by the previous owner. I always thought that they sounded very easy on the ear.

    I generally look around and assume they are talking to somebody else.

    Very much liked the groove of the band, still on the fence a bit about the vocals.

    Tom bought my ACG Graft Finn. As has been said many times before Tom is a perfect gent and so very easy to deal with. A real pleaseure to meet you too, thanks again.

    Alan might be able to swap the neck out for you if he has anything suitable. Worth asking the question.
  17. ead
    Simply stunning, sorry to see this up f/s.
  18. ead
    I too get massive and entirely unaccountable urges in this direction. Is there a cure or will I have to find something I can afford at some point

    Just sold an ACG bass to Tom. What a gent, really easy to deal with and most helpful. Thanks so much Tom and enjoy the bass....all those extra knobs...

    You could probably buy 3 or 4 very special custom basses for that kind of money.
  21. ead
    Eye-catching bargain for a bass of this quality imho.

    [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1428477151' post='2741541'] [size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]I've just seen it - yup, it's dull, despite the somewhat breathless description: "...a grain pattern so intense it is reminiscent of the sand storms on the surface of Jupiter..." Really? Heheheheeeeee.... [/font][/size] [/quote] Does Jupiter have a surface with sand on it? I think we should be told.

    [quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1428392754' post='2740740'] Probably not what you looking for but I've only got a Fender classic 60 jazz with upgraded pickup to offer. [/quote] You're right, I'm afraid not really my cup of tea.

    I don't have a problem with it per se. I find it odd that it got 8/10 on the value for money though. I'd be interested to know how BGM determine what the appropriate score for that is as, per above, some folks will find £11k less of an issue than the other 99% of people. When you look at some of the £1,000 to £1,500 basses that have have been reviewed by BGM and received the same VFM score (I know that price point is a bit down market for the mag) why is this particular bass 11 times better?
