    Top Marks to Andertons

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Had a similar DHL fiasco about two years ago. I bought a P Bass via Andertons, ordered on a Satuday morning, delivery Monday, everything to do with Andertons went smoothly, eg order and delivery confirmation etc. Monday comes....Nothing! Phoned Andertons, they confimed it had left via DHL, phoned DHL, "oh sorry we tried to deliver, but there was nobody in", "Lies said I, I've been waiting in, no one has been here." "Oh", she said, "Let me check the system, ah it's in our delivery centre in Exeter, it will definitely be with you on Wednesday." Wednesday comes... Nowt! Rang them again, to be told that they'd sent it back to Andertons. Phoned them, told them not to resend via DHL as they were useless

    IIRC, it ended up delivered by DPD.

    Well GAK had one in the sales and I pulled the trigger. It was less than some used ones I've seen advertised so I thought what the hell! 

     

    I'll have to make do with the bridge for now until my credit card is in a more healthy condition but the Babicz will be on my shopping list. However I do have a bass with the Gibson 3 point and despite its limitations I've managed to set it up pretty well with a reasonably low and noise free action. 

     

    A couple of months ago I finally scratched my Tbird itch with this Japanese Orville, a bass I never knew existed but after some research it seems that they're quite well regarded so I took the plunge. It doesn't disappoint.  Although I've never played one I have to say that I don't really like the current Thunderbirds. I much prefer the chrome pups and the vintage reverse tuners on the Orville. I've only tried an Epiphone TB and it was not good at all so my experience with these is very limited. I've only played it at home through a tiny MarkBass combo but it sounds so good. I will be hoping to use the incoming bass with the band should it ever pull it's finger out and start playing again. 

     

    Really looking forward to it's arrival and here's a pic of the Orville

    That's a Gibson mate. Orville was the name they traded under in Japan back then!

    I once heard a story about a session player who always had trouble with a certain producer with his bitsa bass, saying that the guy should consider getting a proper Fender bass. So he installed some Fender decals to it and suddenly the bass sounded “right”

    Bargain Alert😃😃👍👍 

     

    These are just ‘that good’ as a stock instrument! 

     

    GLWTS👍👍
     

     

    Totally agree! I bought the Sunburst around 18 months ago, and then later got the version Olympic White for an unignorable bargain price.

    Both are totally stock and deliver exactly what a Precision should. The only slight downside is the anaemic looking Indain Laurel fingerboards, which can be remedied with some Montypresso.
