Let us know how you get on mate I emailed the guy last week about the rick copy, very interested in it but at the moment i think 300 is too much until i see it getting positive reviews, although the maker does claim he gigs with one and has been for 2 months and thinks its great, but then he would say that

[quote name='luckman67' post='840189' date='May 17 2010, 09:06 PM']Yes it was the 4 string, but it is made in the same factory as it's more expensive counterpart using a lot of the same bits. Plus with it only being available for three years may add to it's high price on the secondhand market.[/quote] ...but for just 100 odd more you could probably find a proper stingray. The point is these were so great BECAUSE of the cheap price. 300 quid second hand was great, and a lot of bass for the money. Having owned one for over a year, i just don't think they are worth much more than that.

Lets not get into a fender type arguement. As the SUBs are made in USA you would expect they would be better quality instruments, but as with fender the cheaper built SBMM may produce the odd gem.

Great basses, although the novelty no longer exists as the second hand prices for some reason are now too close to a real stingrays to bother. If you can find one for about 350, go for it, but any more than that i wouldn't bother, its worth saving the extra money for the far more comfortable body and non-stick neck of the real stingray.

If you did, they would be under contract to sell it to you. Why not just withdraw it???

[quote name='girya32' post='827988' date='May 4 2010, 10:44 PM']its gone, just when my fingers were itching too [/url][/quote] No, it hasn't.

are you to accept the 100 or send it back? I think its safe to say that 100 compensation is a very, very fair amount.

Id send it back to him on the grounds it wasn't sold as advertised. From what i know of the market, i would not say 750 was a bargain at all for the condition of this bass, i certainly wouldn't have gone for it at that price. Send it back, save a couple hundred more and no doubt a MUCH better bass will come along.
