walplayer Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) This guy gives a lot of info for the beginner even includes helpful pics showing ways you can hold the bass. I like the last pic best ,kinda "off the shoulder" look.

spinynorman Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Does he think all the details about how crap it was and what he had to do to make it playable makes it more desirable? My first thought is, how long before it goes back banana shaped? Anyway, if I've bought it (unlikely admittedly) I'll do anything with the truss rod I damn well please. So there. Quote
MythSte Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Fair play to him tbh, He's been dead honest and is trying to sell his bass. Each to their own. Quote

Annoying Twit Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I played one of those Staggs when I was looking around for my first post-teenage bass. Personally, I really liked it. Quote

dougie Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 He looks like hes just nicked it from some geezers back seat. "i`ll have to sell this one cheap its got two f***ing strings less than the last one i nicked" Quote

Mr. Foxen Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Doing a setup and moving on is cool, entry level basses with a good set up are really good for people starting out. I try and offer free/cheap setups to people starting out, but kind of hard to do without people 'making the fun'. Quote

[/quote] I think its more his curious photography, certainly no 'point and laugh'. To his credit he seems genuine enough with his descriptions, its simply his apparent need to get in the picture when he sells something that I find a little odd. Quote
spinynorman Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Possibly he thinks it makes the ad look more personal and honest. He'd have a job hiding from anyone who wasn't happy. Quote
ThomBassmonkey Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Christ, look at the state of the bridge on that "7" string. I certainly wouldn't trust someone that couldn't set up a bridge to do neck shims, change electrics (it sounds like he's removed a coil from the humbucker, not actually changed the pickup) and the like.

apa Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 I wouldnt trust this bloke as far as I could spit. If you read the adds they are 'flowered up' with "fender this" and "fender that". "A nice set of new strings from the US" Woopy, they could be any old crap. Funny how he gets all vaige then! Hes an amateur trying to make out he knows what hes talking about. If he a chancer trying to pass of 'set up' crap to 'starter' players since by definition they would fall for all that 'fender this / fender that' boll@xs he talks. By saying "Please dont touch the truss rod since it took ages for me to get it flat" is either saying a) One more 1/4 turn and that baby's going to go bang big style or your a 14 year old kid and you dont know what your buying but Im the expert so give me your money (but dont tell your dad).

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Awww - its gone. Does the garden gnome come with it or is that extra? Quote
