Title: Nice Spoiler on CL in Cincinnati
Post by: Enzo on April 01, 2015, 07:58:06 PM

Looks like a Macassar ebony top, the body has also a nice figured mahogany. Basic but fancy, want want want http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/msg/4958727242.html (http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/msg/4958727242.html)

It was only about 35 miles from me so I went out and looked at it and it was in great shape and had a beautiful top so I bought it.  The guy said it was too heavy for him so he bought a Padulla. It's a lot lighter than my Rogue 5. I wish it was a 5 because I don't really play 4 string anymore, so I'll play around with it for a while and then decide whether to keep it or not.

You did well, the price was fair and you can always resell it, at least you had the GAS cured (for a while).

Enzo unfortunately they haven't found a cure for my case, I have it bad! But I'm trying to quit!  Drives my wife nuts! That reminds me, I'll probably tell her I bought today! LOL!

There is no cure for GAS.  Ask my wife who puts up with my acquisitions, of not just bass gear but LP's DD's and vintage audio equipment.

There is no definitive cure, only temporary and if they find it I will ignore it! It's the best addiction you can find, it's expensive but you'll always have the option of selling. When is the last time you've seen your wife selling a purse to buy another? The truth  LOL.

I can't get it to upload pictures? I hit the tap to upload and nothing is happening?

Sometimes the new 'upload window' gets lost behind your main browser window ...just a guess.
Otherwise maybe reboot the browser?

If you use windows, mouse over the browser icon in the taskbar.  
It should be between the miniatures, clicking the miniature will bring it up front:

It either opens in a new tab or in a new window, depending on your browser settings.

Or you could have a pop up blocker? I think that will prevent the uploadpage to open?...

Thank you! I have the add image page up and uploaded the picture and got an error because the image is larger than 150kb.  Could someone please tell me how to make the file smaller?

Title: Nice Spoiler on CL in Cincinnati
Post by: dtothec on April 05, 2015, 05:07:40 AM

I was able to reduce the size of the file by resending it to myself and reducing it each time. Anyway here are the best five basses in my stable.(http://club.alembic.com/Images/395/208207.jpg)
