Thanks Matt and thanks @synthaside for the advise. I'm quite surprised at the retailer to be honest. Now if it had got lost in transit it would be different, these things happen but explaining to the chap on the phone that it has been signed for by me didn't seem to concern him too much. Now I'd say its been nicked by a dodgy driver (I've known a few in my time). Yes I know it's all too easy to jump to conclusions, but it's dosn't sound promising at the moment that I'll ever see this bass.

Some of you will have seen that CMC Audio have today released their new Fuzz pedal, which integrates an envelope filter into the sound. I’ve had it for a little while now as I happened to get chatting to Christoph about fuzz pedals around the time this was around 90% developed. FWIW, I paid for mine, so this is not a marketing spin, I just wanted to start the conversation around it as I believe it deserves all the exposure it can get! I made a very quick video for Instagram this lunchtime haha, with a single tone: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPguOWSiO9J/?igsh=Z3pkcnk4c2V3NDk5 And I know Si Francis and BassTheWorld also put out vids, which I (or someone else) can post below. Cheers Si

Actually in between Nellie and Lois was a lovely blue girl called Peggy. Sadly she had cancer so only made it to the age of 7

Maybe the Blackstone MOSFET? https://blackstoneappliances.com It looks like there’s one on eBay (no affiliation). Jack Roan at Noble Amps recommended it and it was pretty good (although I have since moved mine on).

Wronger than a wrong thing - as proven by the fact that they contacted the courier for you anyway. The retailer is the courier's customer, not you, so if it goes astray, it's on them to chase it up, and on them to make things right with you if it goes wrong - that's what insurance is for. It has happened to me before, not a fake "delivery" but a Sire D5 just disappeared like a fart in the wind between Thomann and myself. I contacted Thomann about it, and to give them their due they didn't wait too long before giving it up as lost and sending another one. How the retailer deals with this will determine their competence and worth. If it goes badly, I'd like to know who this retailer is so that I can avoid them in future.

I sent an email with a few pictures of the bass I wanted to sell. Got a prompt reply. Perhaps the link has a slight glitch?

Mmmm....

Ok Step 1 Breathe ... out Exhale ... your going to be ok ... this sucks but it happens and " buyer protection" is going to help you out. The Onus is on the delivery company to prove delivery to the correct address and recipient, not the other way around. If you claim you haven't received an item, the company should be able to provide proof, such as a signature, a photo of the delivery location, or GPS data. You are entitled to ask for this proof if there's a dispute, and if they can't provide it, you can escalate the issue. Consumer rights are all on your side here ... your gonna be ok Oh ... an edit because i wanted to add something . YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS Your contract is always with the retailer – not the courier. Contact the retailer as soon as possible if your order has been lost, damaged or delayed. The retailer is responsible under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 to ensure your goods arrive safely without undue delay and within 30 days or placing the order. S29 Consumer Rights Act 2015 states that the goods remain at the trader’s risk until they come into the physical possession of you or your appointed agent. It is the seller’s legal responsibility to make sure the item is delivered to you. They should contact the courier and let you know what has happened to your item. It is not your responsibility.

Indeed, it's now going to be a bookies, taking bets on the cage fighting.

Thinking sone more about what rwillett is bringing it, I've decided to cancel the raffle. Only kidding 😉

I've got a couple of effects pedals I'm happy to chuck in.

I bought myself a new bass from a well established music shop in Sheffield. The bass was to be delivered today and according to the tracking, it was and signed by my good self! Trouble is, it wasn't. I had arranged for the bass to be delivered to my place of work and according to the alleged delivery time I would have been on site and able so see the van come in and make the delivery. I phoned the shop to raise my concerns and they didn't seem too worried about it. Saying along the lines of that it's out of their hands as soon as it leaves their shop and I should contact the courier. The shop raised a 'ticket' with the courier for the shipment to be investigated and they have to now wait for the courier to get back to them. On the tracking there is no photo POD or a digital copy of a signature only that it was delivered to the reception and signed for by me. I'm pretty worried about this and I could do with some advice as to where I stand.
