OutToPlayJazz about that wicked Limited Ed Jazz he got and he will tell you chapter and verse about it. Take care and please look after my Bongo with extreme care when you get it next month. Fran[/quote] Ha dude don't worry it wil be babied with tlc. You could be right on the jazz front I love my jazz special but not crazy on my standard jazz. Maybe I just need to flip it and look out for another!

A thread basically about someone being rude and confrontational to his customers is now being challenged by someone being rude and confrontational. Feel free to disagree....god knows we cover that debate here often enough but how about little a less of the "bullshit" and "school ground crap" and "lots of twats on this forum" comments. I am amazed that anyone has tried to placate you at all with that attitude. People have been banned for less. And for what it's worth, I read the original post that kicked it all off over there and I don't think the guy was being "a prick" at all and it seems that most here agree. Have you thought of going out and coming back in again? Starting fresh? Maybe go in off topic and ask about your prematurity problems? Fair enough point taken however I do tend to fight fire with fire. We do have a different view on how the op asked his questions but that's what make individuals tick.[/quote]

Lighten up its a laff And I dont know if you have heard but..............allegedly BPs not to fond of you [/quote] Then bp can get on the end of a very long que that I don't really care for. I do believe that when the customer is wrong he should be told. I am however not saying he was right to cut that guy up but hey poke a bear enough and he will rip you up. Going back to the op I did love the bit when he said he " came for a line of Italian engineers" well thank god for that cause had they been French everyone would have thought you a total muppet.

[quote name='Darkstrike' post='935060' date='Aug 24 2010, 05:48 PM']Why should I buy a bass that I like(or love) by a company I don't like, when I can buy a bass that I both love as an instrument, and respect the builder/luthier/company?[/quote] Because to say that you only buy things from people you like is a complete lie and then not to buy a guitar because you don't like the CEO of the company would tell that you really never had and intention of buying one anyway. Maybe first impression are right I see there is some sense here but this whole bp= ...... crap is school ground bullsh*te. It serves no purpose. If you don't like ebmm don't buy them it kinda simple really.

[quote name='Rich' post='935022' date='Aug 24 2010, 05:09 PM']This forum has a wealth of info and advice on basses, but I doubt very much we could help you with [i]that[/i]... Welcome, by the way.[/quote] Very good! Different website for that one then

I may have shot my load to soon but I do ask you to step back and take a look at this thread as a first time user it Really does look like a witch hunt. Tino I am not from the dark side unless you mean Sligo which would totally describe it

Hi Doc Hows it going dude

sorry,matter of time till what ? and please dont suppose things about me,i came here to see if i could learn somthing about sandberg basses and this is what i found. And really sorry about the manners but it would seem that you all had given up on them. and punctuate ! really is that the problem is it.I would like to hang around i even just found a thread with great deals on sandbergs ;-)

WOW I was looking for a forum about bass on this side of the pond,i had never heard of basschat or had i heard of this thread and this is what i stumbled across i got to about page 6 of this then had to give up.It seems to bypass everyone here that the guy who asked the questions did it like a prick. i have EBmm and fenders and some others and yes from time to time i go to the EBMM forum.But before i had gone to the forum i had been in contact with ebmm customer service twice and both times they were really helpfull. i dont as most of you say "like bp's ring" and i dont think the sun shines out of it.i dont like the fact that it is as controlled as it is but i do respect it. but what i have learned is that there is alot of twats here on this forum,did one of you really go on their forum just to stir up sh1te,come on either your all 16 with no cop on or have way too much time and should spend it do something like .....playing your bass i love the guys who gave it the whole "i was going to buy a stingray but not after reading that" yeah yeah buy a bass because you like or love it. btw i am thinking of buying a sandberg,i do like and love my ebmm but i want a jazz type bass (i have 2 fender jazz's but like the tone from the sandberg) and i was hoping to get some info here about them but all i got sofar is guys crying about some yank who stood up to a pain in the arse customer. oh and guys stick a bmw engine in a ford then ring ford to complain about it and see how you get on. guys grow up for fvck sake,i really would like to be able to chat more freely about basses but not if this is what its like.
