I remember when I first started playing having a jam with someone who I thought was experienced only to find them playing 14 bars in a 12 bar blues tune.
Blew my confidence for a while till I realised that they were blagging it - they weren't that good or experienced.
Brian needed some knobs (Ooer matron) - a couple of messages each way, price agreed (he actually overpaid) and the deal done.
Smooth transaction, both of us happy.
Great BCer, Trade with confidence.
I'd get in contact with Jaydee.
Though there is a backlog of orders for new basses (which has been the case for a few years) when I sent my S2 for an upgrade it was done and back with me within a few weeks...I only paid for the parts.
