Although it might be there's a process that as an auctioneer has to be followed I guess?

Not that I'm aware of. Besides if I was blocking cookies wouldn't I also need to log in every time I visited?

Probably depends on who the person/company you got it from actually is, if it's Parcelforce then perhaps justified as he could argue it was sent to him in error by them and that the owner needs to resolve this with them who he'd paid to deliver it? But why would you not return calls or talk to Police. At present it all smells a bit wrong doesn't it........

Are you blocking cookies on Basschat?

Looks great Clarky

In case anyone is wondering what I am on about, it is this: I'm currently getting it once a day when I have a new notification. I'll not see it again until I next get a notification tomorrow or later. However I've already opted out of Push Notifications so why all this pleading for me to turn them on?

Deets! What is it? Pics plz. Also...

That's bizarre. If you have a good reason to believe you've handled stolen property why would you hand the item back to the person/company you got it from, especially if the police are involved?

New Old Joy Division Bass Day. Just received this 1977 (?) Hondo Ricken-faker, the model made famous by Peter Hook in Joy Division days (before he switched to Shergold Marathon 6 string and Yamaha basses). A few screws missing and signs of age but plays/sounds great and, importantly for me, weighs just 8.2 pounds. Sits nicely next to my Shergold Marathon bass, the Joy Division nerd that I am.

This had crossed my mind as well - also would explain why they are so reluctant to speak to me or the police....

I will be using that phrase to describe why I have sold many basses over the last decades! 🤣

This is all quite bizarre, sounds to me like the auction house and the 'consignee' might have something of a special relationship.......?

Update regarding Wellers Auctions, Guilford and the stolen Limelight bass 00315 - I've still not got it back. When the bass was first spotted on Wellers Auction site I phoned up first thing the following day and it was withdrawn from sale. I spoke to Andrew Snelgar he said he would get the bass back to me. He then emailed a little later and said he wanted to return it to the consignee. As this was the person/company who may well have been involved with its theft, and also trying to sell it, I said no, don’t do that. I heard nothing back. I emailed again stating how uncomfortable I was with his suggestion. Again nothing. Eventually I spoke to him a few days later and he informed me that he had returned the bass to the consignee. He said I would hear from them in a few days regarding getting my bass back to me – nothing. He also ignores all my phone call and email. I recorded both phone conversations with Andrew – The Police have both these recording The Police are now involved and I have a crime number.

Nice, that's what I'm trying to achieve, the darker the better, love the Bird by the way....

Been bizzy son, fighting those pesky Jedi Rebel Alliance dudes,.... 💀

Now therein lies a conundrum... you can hear a difference between front/rear ported cabs (despite the science saying otherwise), what would the validity of another listeners perception of a comparison be, if they can't hear a difference between front/rear porting?

I wonder if hardware VST players are going to back into vogue. I know that there's still the small pedal one (the Dwarf or something) but I think that things like the Muse Receptor are due a resurgence. They stopped selling when people realised you could use a laptop, but then a laptop has 3.5mm jacks, OS updates and bleepy notifications...

Cheers Geek99, av got bags of them, long, short, wood, plastic.
