I traded a Dingwall bass into Will who was excellent to deal with,  knowledgeable and fair with his price. I wouldn’t hesitate to do business with him again. 

 

 

 

Which Dingwall was it? I’m wondering if it’s one I’ve purchased 😂

 

I’ve bought and sold loads with Will. I’ve loads of time for him. Great guy.

It was a natural Ash 4 string Combustion.

I submitted an order on the website for some new strings at half five on Wednesday, I got an order confirmation at half ten Thursday morning and they turned up today (Friday) in the post. Spot on.

Sold a bass to Will at BassBros and it went extremely smoothly. He sent a courier to pick up my bass and he paid me the next day.

Did a deal with Will recently, and went as smooth as glass. A great deal, shipping all arranged at his end, and friendly, timely comms. Top lad.

Bought a number of basses from bassbros, they have come with some of the best setups I've ever played. Great company to deal with too. Never sold or part ex'd with them.

They’re just good lads. Fair trade ins, reasonable prices and they are nice.

Although this has me wondering a little bit…

Dear God,  that thing looks as though it's decomposing.

There's good descriptions on almost everything on the website - I'm just hoping that the description for the Conklin 7-string is a placeholder. As a sample, "An amplified electronic sound emanates from this Conklin bass guitar, caused by the Bartolini active pickups with volume."

Not that I'm in the market for anything more than 5 strings - I already don't use my 6-strings.

Can't agree more.  Some black magic in their setups.

It's all process and measurements. It can be taught.  Experience helps as with anything.

I've been doing it for decades. Unless there's some serious issue, 9/10 instruments can be made to play really well.

I only charge materials.

Received my Stingray from BB on Friday. Very pleased with my purchase, arrived well packed in one of their own boxes, the bass is a beast and very well presented for a 15 year old instrument. Hats off to Will, top man. 🫶

Bought a high value (£3.5k) bass from Will last year. Delivered promptly (& safely) & he then arranged collection of a bass that he took in px (which I packed in the same box) which I received payment for the day after it was delivered to him. Highly recommended & completely trustworthy.

No change to the description:

 

Treat the music monster in you to the Conklin Groove Tools GT7 Electric Bass Guitar that slays with its killer looks and electrifying tones. With a neck made of stable maple and purpleheart, this Conklin 7 string guitar has a deep cutaway body shape that makes playing easy. For electrifying note sustenance the headstock of this Conklin bass guitar is cleverly angled to increase nut tension. An amplified electronic sound emanates from this Conklin bass guitar, caused by the Bartolini active pickups with volume. So you if you wish to soothe with mellow rhythms or booming rock, the Conklin Groove Tools GT7 Electric Bass Guitar is appropriately designed. This bass is in excellent condition and everything works perfectly as it should.

I've already edited my post to remove that comment.

 

I'd understood your comment to be suggesting just that one single line you quoted was the entire description.

I said it was a sample, maybe should have been more explicit.

 

And you're just going to have to start saving...
