Got a refund! Unfortunately despite my request for them to cover the fees, I lost $75 in fees and about £100 more in exchange rate difference between when I paid and when I got my refund. I’ll take it though just to be done with it. Thankfully that ordeal is over. If all is really as described, some lucky dog can score a really nice midibass without having to wait 3.5 years. If anyone here goes for it, I’d be grateful if I could at least have a play on it. 😆

I’ve already passed on a used one twice in the mistaken belief that mine was due to be finished. Think I’ll just stick to keys now anyway - I’ve had enough time to get good at them while enduring this whole saga.

Indeed. I was so enthusiastic about this bass and what it can do after trying one. Now I just feel really angry and disappointed. I’d advise everyone to steer well clear.

Thanks, I’m not too hopeful to be honest. It’s a huge chunk of money to lose too.

I’m calling bullshít on this farce now. Obviously the deadline has been and gone with no word. I’m fully expecting some bóllocks excuse like someone’s died or some crap now, if anything at all. Nobody else should send any money to this company, it’s a joke and most likely now a scam. (Obviously willing to be proved wrong.)

Part of the reason I sold it was that I needed money for other stuff and I sold it for twice what I paid for it two years earlier and that was for about £100 less than others were asking for theirs. It definitely sounds lush but I was never going to use the dip switch stuff and I didn’t need all the LFO, tremolo and expression options. I also only used about two sounds on it, one 4-stage sound, one 6-stage sound. Can definitely get that with a cheaper analogue pedal and use my loop switcher to get MIDI on/off functionality.

Ooh this is interesting for sure. Was considering the Phasor III/Baby Phase for these tones. I sold my Wombtone II a while back (which was based on the MuTron) as I wasn’t using the midi stuff but I miss the sound. I’ve got a Maestro Orbit on order which is an update of the original Tom Oberheim phaser.

Sandberg do this configuration but it in only comes in one colour and an ebony board. The Martin Mendez model.

Seems I’m doomed for this to keep happening too as I haven’t bought from there before and one can only add one’s address at the point of purchase. ☹️

Put it in my basket. Was sold out by the time I’d filled my address out. Ffs!

Is that an A-width nut on the Precision?

This is pretty interesting: https://the-bace.com

Frustrating given they were £160 once upon a time.

I’m guessing £240.

I think the 14 days thing is just a smokescreen to give himself time to actually do the the work. A refund takes minutes to process. I’m just really fed up now. Also not confident of getting any kind of support should it later develop a problem. (In the 3.5 years I’ve been waiting, I’ve done so much keys practice that I don’t really need the bass now anyway, but that’s by the by.)

I just want a refund as it’s not the first such email I’ve had saying it will be ready in 14 days and then six months of radio silence; I can no longer believe what I’m being told. I’ve been very patient but enough is enough.

I have already made a couple of posts voicing my concerns on their Facebook user group and others are experiencing similar. Sadly I paid via bank transfer so am not overly hopeful of getting funds back.

Had a quick reply but with more obfuscation: This is one of many delay explanations. I’ve told him I still want a refund.

Just emailed to request a refund on my MIDIbass. Over 3.5 years and just awful communication. Not massively confident I’ll see my money again.
