That's what I was thinking as I read your post. Sounds like a job for a paint brush and the Hoover.

I had to think long and hard about this. The only one I can recall was The Style Council in Finsbury Park on a beautiful summers day. I sat through OCS, Ruby Turner, etc but by the time Weller & Co came on I had a raging Migraine verging on Heat stroke (no shade in Finsbury Park) so we left half way through his set.

I'm trying not to live the high life and spend it on fast cars and fast women.... Maybe a couple of picks???

She works hard for the money - Donna Summer

Good luck folks...hope it goes ahead...

Just looked at the Kytary website - no strings!!! Not sure if this is for the reason stated in @Teebs's post.

...and the complete disregard for music from the 80s too.

Half a sixpence - Tommy Steel

"This guitar has been heavily played by T.M ..." I couldn't find any images of him using it...and I spent about 30mins looking...

I agree with the OP - multitudes of "Custom basses" on sites like eBay which have no custom parts at all. If I put a sticker on a bass have I customised it?

I think by creating an "Outside the UK" thread Non UK sellers would be less inclined to advertise on the forum. I'm fairly sure that I would be less inclined to buy from abroad because of the VAT/ Duty fees. I think it would actually hurt the BC Marketplace.

I find it hard to believe that a manufacturer of, what many of us would consider to be, a quality instrument is not prepared to make good on defects with their products - irrespective of whether the defect was theirs or the client's. This is a very competitive market with many basses in a similar price bracket - surely reputation is everything - as a potential customer, if I knew that a particular brand was prone to problems I'd steer clear. Historically, Jaydee had some issues with necks but stood tall and addressed the problem so that subsequent basses did not have the same issues. I believe the major cost to Maruszczyk would be time - not expensive materials - however the possible cost in loss of sales/ damage to the reputation easily exceeds any costs. From what I've read here I would certainly think twice about buying one - and I like the design! Come on Adrian, do the right thing - make good on this whether it was the owner's negligence or not. I'm sure that many potential customers would find this level of customer service reassuring when placing an order. Surely the desired outcome is one where is everybody is happy.
