Moffat Toffee!!!! get some, you wont regret it

Moffat Basses!!!! get some, you wont regret it

FIXED!!

Get some toffe and a bass you won't I can highly recomend both (go for the toffe with Glenfarclas if you do)😁

I had a DHL no-show last week, despite being informed of a 1hr delivery window. They tried the next day and the drop-off point supposedly refused the guitar. The drop-off point was recommended by DHL.

It's in Thomann's hands now.

I am getting the feeling the answer was and is in the future something that rhymes with “Chase Effect”

I hope they eventually delivered your Thomann order. Mine arrived today undamaged, which is not bad at exactly 5 working days since I ordered it. Unfortunately, the main part of the order, which was a Guild B-240EF fretless acoustic bass had clearly not been through proper quality control. The nut and bridge were cut much too low. The first string was practically touching the fretboard immediately after the nut and it rattled horribly. The fourth string wasn't much better. It had quite a noticeable bow in the neck. I think that, rather than send it back for a new nut, the factory QC just slackened the truss rod a bit to make it almost playable. If I had tightened the rod to get less of a bow, the top string would have been touching all the way up. I am not sure if it is because of this but plugged in the middle two strings were much louder than the 1st and 4th.

I have started a return/replacement request but assuming it is collected on Friday, I am probably not going to see the replacement for another two weeks. This is the second time I have had to return a faulty guitar to Thomann. I suspect they just take the boxes out of the warehouse and post them without more than a perfunctory check. The battery was still in its plastic wrapper, so clearly it had not been plugged in before being posted and how anybody could think the setup was acceptable, I don't know. It is irritating but then I have had similar experiences with Andertons. It seems quality control is not a priority for the volume box shifters.

It's not worth it, bail while you still can!

I did. A right culture war going on

Be afraid, be very afraid.

So many of the, let’s say controversial, topics are chasing their own tails.

Was it on time?

yep!

@Bigwan - yeah… go big or go home! 

More like it came up looked good, I could afford and… well there’s like zero past sales to know if I under or over paid! 

Wow!
That is incredible!
I've played a 4 string Le Fay and the neck profile was to die for, super comfy.
We're going to need more pics...

Dictators are funny.
I prefer the term 'trouser-spuds', though.

And Blair just got knighted.

I don't but there's an artist in my wife's building who does all of that tin type stuff, photography mainly. I could ask him if you have a specific question or if you want to just go straight in he's [email protected].

Pretty sure it's SUBLIMATED.

If you've been surfing t'Net looking for SUBLIMINATION then you probably only got a very, very short glimpse of what is out there. 

@Happy Jack yeah that’s my poor spelling - my searching has been ok. I found people who could do it but found a different method which hopefully will work
