For people like me with limited intellect can posters please say what the bass is too?

This is a great thread, beauty will clearly be in the eye of the beholder but so what Just checking, but is posting a bass you own/have owned crass?

Why do some BC sellers insist on buyer arranging courier?
ead replied to Clarky's topic in General Discussion
It's a contractual thing surely and de-risks it for the seller. i.e. if the contract with the courier rests between buyer and courier then any issues have to be resolved with the same two parties. I don't think it's laziness just pragmatism (plus a bit of self interest). I'm with @musicbassman on this in that whether buying or selling I'd rather invest in time to collect/deliver if at all possible. -
All I can say is that I have a couple of beauties from ACG that are well above my pay grade.
-
Some cool stuff, as well as some things I'm less keen on. But in a world of endless Fender clones shouldn't we celebrate diversity just a little bit?

I had a Greco EB-350 a little while back that was pretty nice. Ended up selling it to a collector in London.

This one (nothing to do with me btw)

There's a lovely looking MIJ 62RI on here that would look cracking with a tort p/guard. I shall go and look for the link now.

The G string on a bass is entirely superfluous so prefer to be known as ead only Mostly beer and curry

Currently somewhere on a wagon in central Europe, hopefully here next week when pics will be officially realeased. But it's very lovely and I couldn't stop myself

General noodling bass for 5+ years now is my ACG J Type, passive with a relatively lowly spec but a cracking bass.

Snuck one more bass into stock before the deadline...

Pray tell us about this mystical 7th fret. I thought that there were only 5.

Coronavirus-best bass guitar if you were self isolating
ead replied to SH73's topic in General Discussion
My fretless bass. I'd have no excuse not to try and improve my technique and listening skills. -
If you like D'Addarios then I would advocate for EXL170BTs, a balanced tension nickel wound set. I have these on all my fretted basses and am a real fan of both the feel and the sound.

I was googling this very thing this morning as I have a shipment incoming from foreign parts. Everything seems to be OK atm except that drivers will now do contactless deliveries and sign whilst you watch and leave goods for you to take into the house.

We have a booking for a private party in a couple of weeks time. I guess we'll soon know the decision from the client side. On balance I think the four of would do the gig; we're having practice tonight so maybe we'll discuss.

Plenty of options here. Aside from my '66 Precision, the P bass that I gig regularly is the Highway One iteration. I've has a few different versions over the years (Squier Affinity, MIM, MIJ, Nate Mendel, American Special, American Standard) but this one seems to be sticking. Hard to say why particularly but the neck is great, the weight is very comfortable and I must be one of the only people in the world who quite likes the Grease Bucket tone circuit. Obligatory pic.:

Anaconda Crusher CES4 Bass Guitar This is a pristine 2018 example of the genre, and was a (rather pricey) impulse buy if I'm strictly honest. The bass is in immaculate condition, mostly because I, unforgivably, don't play it often enough and when I do it's at home. Weight is just under 4kgs (8lbs 12oz in old money). I don't think this variant is available any more but similar Anacondas basses will set you back the best part of £3k. I should say the bass is immensely tactile and the neck is insanely nice to play. Spec: · Body: 1-piece Alder with Wenge top, oil finished · Neck: Maple 34” scale, oil-finished · Fingerboard Roasted Birdseye Maple · Headstock Matching Wenge · Construction Bolt-on (5 bolts) · Pickups: Bartolini BC4CBC · Electronics: Passive V/B/T, coil switch for each p/up single coil / parallel / series · Hardware: Hipshot Ultralite tuners and Hipshot bridge · Case: Lightweight styrofoam If you have any questions at all, or require additional pictures of any details please ask away and I give as comprehensive an answer as I am able. I would prefer to arrange some kind of delivery/collection/meet up if at all possible. I'm pretty flexible and willing to travel a bit if necessary. Courier would be the last resort and will be at cost to you. Trades-wise happy to consider most flavours. Only consideration other than that is the weight of the bass, this would need to be less than 4.0kgs please. Cash either was depending upon the exact bass in question. Some website blurb ahead of the pics: In 2013 Andrew Taylor-Cummings decided the world was lacking bass guitars that were centred around tone, tone and more tone. To fill this vacuum Anaconda Basses was born with and the bass world quickly embraced “the monsters of tone” their own mission statement, (yes a bass builder with a mission statement) is “to give more bass players access to hand-crafted professional instruments which deliver “Monster Tone”. Here are some pics. I can take more of any details you would like to see:

This Drummer is at the wrong gig: The Next Generation
ead replied to Cat Burrito's topic in General Discussion
We to see these guys at a gig. Outstanding. The girls are clearly the eye candy but there's a good band behind them, very tight. -
Just received a new llom from John following an ammount of email consultation about options. As always John's advice proved excellent and the new loom arrived in 24hrs and has had the exact desired effect. Thanks John, top banana! p.s. I must be due a frequent flyer bonus by now

Hi folks For sale is an Audere Classic preamp that I had built for me for installation in a P Bass. It's slightly unusual as it is not part of the Audere standard offerings and was influenced by the Darkglass Tone Capsule arrangement. The controls are as follows: Stack 1 - Volume (top) and tone Stack 2 - Mids (top) and bass Note there is no active / passive option, but that is normally the case with Audere preamps. There is also an (unused) LED battery life indicator and the two sets of black knobs purchased with the preamp. All the instructions and bits are included per the photo. The preamp is fully functional and has only been in one bass. The only bit I couldn't remove from the original installation is the 'hook' part of the velcro used to secure it in the cavity. I found it really effective as you can dial in some really cool tones, but no longer have a use for it as that bass has now gone. If you have any questions please just ask and I'll do my best to help. £65 posted UK Mainland.

We gigged last night in a local pub. Decent crowd too. We did take the precaution of ensuring the band mascot Bob was suitably protected.

Just sold a bass to Ian (no doubt buying a bass from Ian in 6 months as is our tradition). As ever super easy to deal with and he very kindly bore the bulk of the travelling to pick it up from me.
