Thanks mods...StevieD Banned from sales section... I'm still there though I still have had no apology or refund though for a bass i paid for fair and square. At least some justice has been done though. I have now spent £125 on getting this bass right... I have the invoice and work that needed to be done on a receipt from xperience guitars nottingham to prove it- Thats £25 for a new nice new fender scratchplate, £25 on some ken armstrong hot vintage pups off here, (the squire pups with red blue and black plastic covered wires and hardly any winding are in the bin now) and the other £75 was spent on a complete reassembly and setup which included filling 30 holes , moving the bridge 1cm up the body, cutting a new nut, re=setting the neck and sanding the pocket so it woud actually be straight, fixing a broken tuner, etc... the list goes on.So this "amazing" £200 bass actually cost me £320 in the end... In hindsight, should have just bought a second hand fender off here. Ah well, you live and learn. Could I suggest a luthiery course request from Santa for Mr StevieD for Christmas?

Fair point... but what would stevie be saying if your EMG pup was actually a squire PUP?

To quote your words stevie about me being a "dodgy character" please explain how exactly? By selling a bass with good feedback, buying two basses when i sent payment instantly and buying effects pedals on here with absolutley no problems until i got sold a dog of a bass? Get real dude...

Here we go... stage one of trying to rectify the bass from hell...how many holes can you count here? stage two will be setting the neck properly three will be fitting the bridge in the right place and four will be installing the kent armstrong hot vintage pick ups i bought off a bass chatter here to replace the cheap horrible, low output squier pups stevie told me were fender japan pickups....

You sold me a bass which is an absolute piece of sh*te mate. if you are so confident of it, then why not offer a refund? My point is, you clearly have no idea how to build a bass, yet made it sound the dogs danglies on your advert. It doesnt intonate properly, the string spacing is incorrect in the way the bottom E is about twice the distance into the fingerboard than the G because of the fact you haven't set the neck properly. It will cost me 100 quids worth of set up work to make this bass as you described. Thats not including the pups that you lied about. The bridge is 1cm to far down the body, this is why it doesnt intonate one of the machine head ears is broken, the pick up poles do not align with the strings properly, the pick ups are not even straight in the scratch plate, and it came with squire affinity pick ups which you adertised as being real fender pick ups that have red blue and black wires. the body of the bass had 30 holes need filling, yet didnt mention. Now i know why you posted such grainy pics on the advert. Also, making a very high nut and having the saddles flat on the bridge with absolutely no attempt to profile the strings with the neck curve isn't called setting up a bass.. Its called making a dogs dinner out of it. You may well have sold good stuff on here before,as have i and have also bought with good feedback, but this time my friend, you ripped me off and you know it - you could at least send me some money to contribute to the pick ups that i was totally lied to about?

He's a rip off artist.. i can prove it too
