Basses for sale section.

[Raymondo]

Would it be possible to have a separate section for acoustic/electro acoustic basses?

 

I am interested in upgrading from my Fender and had a quick look through the basses for sale section and could only see pages of electric basses. I used the search facility and two did show and perhaps that answers my question....there's not enough of them about to warrant a separate section?

 

I still think it could be useful members might be a bit more invested in advertising them if they weren't destined to be lost in the plethora of electric basses.

 

Just a thought .😃

And a 5 string and 6 string section too.

 

Ooh, and one for Reekingburgers that we can all ignore. 😁

[alyctes]

Isn't that a thing sellers should include in the thread title?

[Kiwi]

For the purpose of maintaining visibility?  Yes, it's an idea and perhaps be trialled if there's enough interest.

[Hellzero]

While you are at it, why not a fretless section, it could help a lot too, ... says the fretless player. 😉 

[Teebs]

Ooh ooh!

And a section for blue basses!

And red ones!

[Hellzero]

And yellow ones.

[Teebs]

... but not sunburst ones!

Why don't we just have a section for whatever it is you're looking for at any particular time?

But how do I know what I'm looking for until I see it and GAS tells me?

 Well you wouldn't have to have many sections coz I don't buy stuff often, about once every ten years or so 😉 

 

But on a serious note an all encompassing "bass" section takes some scrolling through when you are looking for something in particular. We have a section for left-handed basses..why? ....because it makes it easier to find what you are looking for if you are left handed.

an acoustic section and indeed a Fretless section as mentioned up thread, would make the shopping experience easier.

Obviously it only needs doing if there are enough advertisers selling these things.

 

I only bought it up because I had been Go  ogling  various shop sites ( all of whom had different sections for acoustic basses), and when I looked on here it was a bit confusing  at first.

 

it's no big ting.

I think it’s a very good idea, Ray. Ignore @Teebs, he is a very silly man and would not know a good idea if one stepped in front of him and slapped him around the face with a floppy haddock.

So very true Skinny old chap...so very true!  👍

[Stub Mandrel]

I agree.

 

I think there should also be sections for other rare and esoteric basses:

 

1. Ugly basses
2. Basses people are selling because they don't like them.
3. Basses that sound horrible
4. Basses that people don't really want to sell but are just testing the water or mollifying an annoyed spouse.

I'm not entirely convinced that you are giving the subject the gravitas it deserves old bean.

Talkbass basses for sale has filters for 4 and 5+ strings as well as lefty.

 

I think the search will find all semi-acoustic  electro-acoustic just with searching on acoustic.

 

There's always the Wanted section but afaik it's still unbumpable, except for moderators.

That's a great scrabble word. Or would be if it was in the dictionary.

What about standard short scale? Or long scale? Or fan fret? Or partially fretless? For God's sake get a grip man!

It's also missing the defretted basses turned into fretless and the refretted basses getting back to their original condition.

 

The type of frets can be important, so what about a forum for regular frets, large frets, small frets, mandolin frets, moving frets, badly reglued frets, lost frets, large flat frets, large flat frets recrowned, large flatter frets, small sharp frets, small flat frets, regular flattened frets, fretless wonder frets, dented frets, partially polished frets, Polish unpolished frets, Polish polished flattened flatter flat sharp large now smaller than small but close to regular even if they are worn frets, stainless steel with titanium oversprayed frets in semi-solid form, imaginary frets and of course nickel lithium turbo diesel 6 gear automatic frets.
