Adam Ef Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Hi from Bristol. Just a quick intro. Really a guitar player who also enjoys playing a bit of bass but not really got the stamina for the heavier strings. I found this place when looking around for somewhere to sell a bass that I have, but am not going to list it yet as I know how rude it is to just arrive somewhere to sell things. Looking forward to looking around a bit and hopefully not going to find anything to tempt me to start saving for the Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray that I've always wanted. I'm meant to be getting rid of one to pay the bills not buy a new one, but it's still in the back of my mind. One day... one day maybe. Cheers, Adam Edited January 23, 2011 by Adam Ef Quote

ZMech Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Greetings from another bristolian (well, ish, studying here). if you want to avoid GAS you may want to find a way to block your access to the for sale section... Quote

I'm selling a couple of me basses at the mo and I thought I'd linked to the wrong ones...that would be very bad! What instrument did you see? Or was it a mirage... I'm liking the west country nature of this little discussion. Liam Quote

Liam[/quote] and now it's showing up on my recently viewed items every time I got to ebay to check the things I'm selling to raise money... tempting me to spend more than my sales are raising! Must resist. Quote

Seriously though, a chap has kind of made a tentative offer and is sleeping on it before deciding for definite. So your ordeal may soon be over I'm afraid...unless you sell a lot of stuff tonight! Good luck sleeping... Quote

Your bass and your playing are much nicer than Random Dude's (sorry Random Dude) hehe Cheers, Stuee. Quote

Although I spend more time doing a sales blah than actually playing! Random dude has the look of a guitar player about him if you ask me. You can tell: it's all a bit loose and wooly...he needs to start obsessing about being in the pocket and becoming one with a drummer's right foot and listening to nothing other than rhythm sections for a couple of decades! It's the only way. No offence Adam Ef! I seem to remember you declaring your six string tendencies early on. It's not to late to turn from your sin...we can make a man of you! Quote
HMX Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 As you can see, quite a few Bristolians on here. I live there too, but I'm a northerner really Welcome Quote
Rich Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Blige, yet another new member for the BC Bristol Massive. Welcome aboard, me babbers. This is a wonderful place full of banter, debate, and "Did you hear the one about the guitarist who..." jokes Oh, and neverending GAS. Quote
