A nice fixed bass: [url="http://less.dk/gallery/march-2012-in-cph/IMAG1813"]http://less.dk/gallery/march-2012-in-cph/IMAG1813[/url]

I think it was the transportation, the bass came with a case, but it seemed as the bass had been out of the case??? Seller was perfect and really helpful and offered to rund an ensurance case on this, but I forgot to document the damage before I started to fix it, so my own fault...but hey, it went well :-)

Dear folks,
Just a follow up. I managed to buy a Alpine white epiphone bass from a member here - great. It took a nasty blow during transportation and had a big scar - but I sanded it down and repainted it and finalized it with a starshaped glitter carsticker (a bit cheasy I know - but it looks enough 70'ies "I love Kiss" like to be accepted onstage ;-D), and last week my husband got it for his birthday.
Do I need to say he was HAPPY :-)

So thank you all for helping me, you guys have been great. i will defenitely return if other crazy wished comes up from his side (betcha it will) - but I guess he will be happy for the next year or so.

Everything is okay as I bought an alpine wihite from a member here - and he was really helpfull. It will be shipped today :-)

YAY!

YES...I want to....

I know - cross my fingers

I simply asked him as I was in doubt. And he appreciates my efford - but he is also picky. I am not the type to grow grumpy about him being particulair - this is just important to him and I would also appreciate him being understanding if I said no, if he bought a pair of expensive shoes in the wrong colour ;-D

Anyway, the old man says no - he's not impressed by the Artic white being produced in China - reputation is that quality do not match the Alpine white produced in Korea. :-(
There goes my present...anyone have an Alpine one for sale - I really want it.

Thanks for the warning - I will telle him when I give it to him - but that goes for both models as far as I can read?

I am pretty sure my old man already knows this and that is not a hinderence for him since he want's this model so bad. My guess is he is looking for a certain sound, that he finds the ephiphone has. He has already a lot of basses and has been playing since mid 80'ies, so I trust when he want's a certain model, there must be an idea behind it - I really dont get it - but I guess if you like instruments you like them and one i snever enough ;-)

Thank you for your answers, what a relief as I had to buy it in the US and had to ask a friend of mine over there to reship it to me in Europe - hoping it will not be damaged. Now I can happily give it to him hoping he will not mind the colour difference.
I admit it was easier when he wanted the Höpfner short guitar :-)
All the best
Charlotte

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I must ask you, as I am totally newbie to this. My husband wants an [b][color=#000000]Epiphone Thunderbird Alpine White Limited Edition - [/color][/b][color=#000000]I have searched for it and even tried to buy one in this forum - but no luck.

[color=#000000]I register small differences in off cause the shade of white and colour of the knobs etc. but have I made a mistake by buying the other Epiphone?[/color]

[color=#000000]Sorry if this is not the right place to post this question - i am quite new to this place.[/color]


[color=#000000]best regards[/color]
