IS THERE REALLY ANY POINT IN HAVING A FOR SALE SECTION?????? CHEERS GEORGE[/quote] How come you have offered pickup as an option but haven't stated where it can be picked up from (at least not in your profile or the two threads i looked at). Your not helping yourself by leaving out details like that. Personally i find it hard not to buy stuff when i come on here.

It does make you think, that although you get the odd moaning type about "forum negativity", it's so rare that anyone actually has a full-on breakdance like this one has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 [quote name='dood' post='1029271' date='Nov 19 2010, 01:20 PM']George, if you spent more time getting involved with the community, it wouldn't take long for you to realise what a great place this is to be. However, If it doesn't suit what you want or need, You are not being forced to stay here - but there's more than 10,000 people who log in to BassChat who do enjoy it![/quote] As a general comment about Basschat, +1 to the above! This amazing community of bass-players/musicians is the sort of thing I would have loved to be a part of and have access to when I dirst started playing bass back in the 1970's.. Anyone who doesn't appreciate it now, doesn't realise how lucky we all are to have such a valuable resource available to us for [b]free[/b].

edster Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I pretty much but all my gear from here now. So far this year I've bought 3 basses, 2 cabs and an fx unit from BC'ers. If I'm buying secondhand this is the only site I'll use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceH Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Poor George. This has been quite funny but I can't help feeling sorry for the guy. Bit of a spanner but perhaps he just doesn't really understand how these fora work. It's not like there's an internet driving test (nor should there be). Hope he doesn't feel too bullied and manages to sell his bass somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind pilot Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I think this forum is the dogs danglies! have bought and traded via here, no issues. i kind of get his point, but he went about it in such a poor fashion, he was just frustrated he could not sell his bass, but that said - it really DID not warrant that kind of angry post!
