theFALLEN Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Guys, I can't believe you are all behaving so insensitively... Tim's have feelings too you know!
Bassassin Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Eh up, Captain Shoutychops. So you're bellowing at everyone and making huge, inaccurate generalisations about this community because no-one's buying your bass. I can think of three possible reasons for this scenario, which are as follows: i) Your bass is rubbish. ii) You want far too much money for it. iii) A combination of points i and ii. Since opening this thread on the subject you have successfully added another reason: iv) Behaving like a cock. I hope this has clarified things for you, unfortunately at this point I can offer no advice about how you could possibly rectify this situation, but I strongly suspect that ranting and shouting won't suddenly start being the best approach. Jon.
Captain Bass Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I have found some great basses on here and sold some too! It's great selling on here because you know your beloved bass is moving on to a good home!

Case in point I do my best not to be a cock and have bought and sold lots here and met and had pleasant chat with many people including Clarky, Flanker and the bloke I sold a Graphic Fuzz to whose name I forgot but me, my daughter and him sat in a pub garden in Ealing drinking Strawberry beer. BTW we are coming out of a recession... Edit forgt Birdy had coffee with him. Edited November 19, 2010 by CS2
Oldman Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I havent laughed so much for ages. Can we sign him up for a regular feature on how to be an arse, he must have more vitriol, does he read Heat Magazine?
Adrenochrome Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Dear Geoff, It's Friday, and it's been a long and tiring week. I'm in the market for an early weekend treat. Do you have anything pastry and/or chocolate based that could satisfy me? It'd have to be delivered to my desk before 2pm though. Sprinkles would be a bonus. Thanks, Tim
bottlebassman Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I've found Basschat great for buying gear, I would rather trust a fellow bass player on here with good feedback than someone unknown on evilbay! I have so far bought a Fender P bass, a Spector 5 string and a markbass head and korg tuner from people on here and they have all been great quality and great to do business with.

Yes things on here may be a bit dearer, but there are bargains to be had. I have just sold the bargain of the month, American Peavey T-Max head for £80, and it was paid for and collected in 1 day from when i put the advert on. all told i have bought 6 Basses on here 3 amps, sold and traded 5 basses, and 3 amps, maybe the stuff your selling TIM is just CRAP, and nobody wants it. As the Stereophonics would say, "Have a nice day"
cetera Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Tim's obviously not trying hard enough..... I've just bought a bass cab here this very morning! Edited November 19, 2010 by cetera

A real Schecter is worth a good 200 odd quid where as an inferior copy such as "shecter" are not really worth much at all
