I can't get stupid photobucket to load my picture, keeps posting other stuff..... hang on.

Found you a car in my local Asda (walmart) carpark a couple weeks ago Blue, only just remembered I'd managed to get a snap of it!

Good luck

And I'm not sure she would make the grade to play with the JTUK band at the Tickled Trout if she was in town looking for a "pick up gig"?

I wonder if the phono jack is faulty/dirty or needs the tangs bending back which is stopping the preamp cutting in fully? Looks all standard so that is a good start.

It should be very noticeable from full to minimum on both bass and treble pots with a nice gradual adjustment.

Not too shabby either, she knows more notes than Clayton

[quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1478020839' post='3166102'] I love a Malted Milk...especially the chocolate covered ones... [/quote] You are a man of good taste then

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1478027843' post='3166196'] This will teach me to start a BF thread... [/quote] It does make me laugh how they can get in a twist on their own! Someone waded in on the last one "with why all the hate for a UK based company" blah blah etc, no one had yet

It teleports you to 1993!

Good

Have you replied at all yet?

Limp Bizkit cover band maybe?

I think these big stores have got a shop or shops staffed by people into music (hopefully) but at the same time they have a warehouse and office staff based elsewhere that is run as a shipping business, the staff there could have been packing and selling fish or clothes or washing machines a week ago, possibly/probably never played a bass in their lives.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1478007793' post='3165923'] I would advise very strongly that you do NOT do this, in fact that you do and say absolutely nothing that might imply that you felt any responsibility or liability at all. If this guy really is a scammer (for £230? sounds more like a newbie or an incompetent to me) then he'll know how to parlay your tacit admission into complete liability. Just say, as politely as you think appropriate, that there was nothing wrong with the bass when he bought it, and it sounds as if he's been scammed by a dodgy luthier. Ball --> his court. [/quote] I'll reduce my post down to just the FO then

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1478005050' post='3165883'] I've recently rediscovered Malted Milks after a ~30 year break. I hope you have some of those in your selection.... [/quote] Have you tried a chocolate malted milk?!

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1478004487' post='3165878'] I would at least require the old frets back. Tell him to FO. [/quote] And a copy of the receipt plus the luthier's number to give them a call, then I would tell them to FO anyway

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1478004215' post='3165872'] The buyer would receive a very short and terse response from me. [/quote] Carefully delivered with a boot to a certain area known as the arse?

I have a 1957 Morris Minor, the rear end is rotted out of it, can I get the car rebuilt by a specialist and send the bill to Shanghai MG Rover or BMW (who has the Morris rights?) after I have got the work done without even asking them first? The timescale isn't such an issue to me although it adds weight to the sellers side of course but that said a message like " Hi mate I bought the bass off you a couple of months ago but only just got around to using it and I cant get it set up right, took it to my bass guy and he says it needs a refret and it will be £230, what do you think?", I would still say the OP has no need for any involvement as it was a used bass but that should have been the first port of call from the buyer, missing that step out removes the OP from the situation 100%

What has more Heft, 2.2lbs of Ashdown of a KG of Barefaced?
