  1. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='426797' date='Mar 5 2009, 11:46 PM']Hmmm, maybe. But why is the bother being created in the first place?[/quote] there's one reason - and from my persepective ONLY ONE REASON. You as Root Admin and "master of the Universe" or whatever, set the rules regarding the running of this site and the rules regarding sales. Then you appear to flout them. Other people might do it to, but your job is to take them to task. It was obvious that the mods wouldn't pull you about it so I did. Your reply was that you didn't have time to split hairs with me. What? I'm too bloody inconsequential to be bothered with? That's all it is. I'm taking you to task for inconsistancy. tBBC? I can't and won't and don't speak for him, he does his own thing. Me? I think you're inconsistant. You set the rules. Stick to them. That's why the bother was created in the first place, by me. That's the sole reason.
  2. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='422934' date='Mar 2 2009, 10:02 AM']No I'm not.[/quote] Sorry. Should have mentioned earlier that I'm very sorry to hear your news and I hope that it all works out for you. However, I'm perplexed. When I've put basses up for sale here in the past I've quoted a selling price as a starting point. I had no idea that one could say "I've had an offer of £[i]n[/i] but I'm seeing if there's other interest" because that seems to me to be inviting offers with the highest bidder getting the nod so long as it achives the seller's notion of a "reserve" price. By every definition I know, that qualifies as an auction and I thought that they were frowned upon here. Well, well. You live and learn. It's good info to know when next I need to part with a bass.
  3. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='421213' date='Feb 27 2009, 06:38 PM']Now two offers at £1500.[/quote] Really?
  4. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='422578' date='Mar 1 2009, 07:35 PM']thanks again chaps. It might even be worth putting this on Ebay I guess... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250370149881"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=250370149881[/url][/quote] Are you Auctioning this? Here? I thought that was against the rules.
  5. [quote name='7string' post='365884' date='Dec 29 2008, 11:32 PM']Definately going to be a stunning bass and the sound will match the looks.[/quote] The MM and the piezo should sort that out. I'm really buzzing about the piezo pup tbh. How's the 12string coming along, Mark?
  6. [quote name='charic' post='365284' date='Dec 29 2008, 07:22 AM']You buying a 3rd one makes me so much surer that I'm going to love mine when it arrives! Really can't wait!. Beautiful wood there! Especially for the neck. So whats on the board for your 4th acg then? Do you get loyalty points when buying your 2nd or 3rd bass out of interest [/quote] No, no loyalty points but you do get a book of vouchers giving up to 30% off selected items at Woolworths. While stocks last...
  7. I've recently worked out the build specification on my third ACG. This one will be a Finn 4 with a Spanish Cedar core, redwood front and back, five piece sycamore, bubinga and wenge neck with an acrylicised redwood fretboard. The fretboard is probably a World's first (to my and Alan Cringean of ACG's knowledge) in using acryilicised redwood for a fretboard. I've specified just one magnetic pickup, a MM sized version of ACG's own, together with a piezo bridge and ACG's own filtering pre-amp. Alan has sent some pics of the woods... The back. The top. The fretboard. And put together. I already own two ACGs and this is, without doubt, the most beautiful I've asked him to build. Can't wait...
  8. can't be arsed any longer and withdrawn from sale.
  9. [quote name='Chipps' post='362463' date='Dec 24 2008, 12:38 AM']Not sure if it's the same model, but didn't a Diamond series one just go on ebay for £410? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=150316535581"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=150316535581[/url] 'Must be a bargain' bump![/quote] It did. Withdrawn for e.bay - you've had your lot, chaps.
  10. [quote name='Phil Wilson' post='357324' date='Dec 17 2008, 08:52 PM']well im loving the schecter and the lined fretlessness and definatly the price just not the long distances involved its christmas soon right?[/quote] It is. For an additional £15 I can get it to you by courier if the distances are too great. Go on, you want it, really you do.... Dave.
  11. [quote name='GreeneKing' post='356506' date='Dec 16 2008, 11:08 PM']This is a fine bass - someone really oughta buy it at this price.[/quote] You'd have thought so, wouldn't you? Oh well.
  12. No love for the Schecter? Not even at £265?
