Hey Rich, I did, went to a good home in Ireland! Look forward to seeing the price.

Yeah, looks lovely.

Sounds like a good deal, but some pictures would certainly help move things along!

Yes, the Birdy stamp of approval is important in any bass I buy. Has he signed the headstock, Richard?

Oh God - stunning. I would love to own this. However, my Shuker 4 is my one and only active jazz - good luck with the sale. Any idea on price?

[quote name='trevthebass' post='147524' date='Feb 27 2008, 12:15 AM']i had a deal with mikey he said im coming now i said cool ive got £500 here now i need to go down the road twenty mins away to get the other £250 he told me to fffffffff oooooffffffff .[/quote] Right. Or the truth, which was: You said you would have the full amount (still less than I'd asked for, of course) by a certain time. I drove down to Lakeside with the bass and hung about to hear from you. That time came and went. You kept me waiting hours, wasting my time, before - unbelievably - making ME start ringing round on your behalf! I had to phone your dad (I still can't believe I did that) to sort out your poorly-thought out plan. Eventually, when you told me to make more phonecalls and start driving you around the town, I realised you were massively taking the piss, and decided to leave. You'd wasted a hell of a lot of my time & petrol money, while I was bending over backwards to help you out (delivering the bass, waiting til you were ready, PHONING people for you - "yeah i got no credit, mate"). Hmm, funny when I relate the actual version of events, it doesn't seem to correlate with yours. Never mind, eh? Keep on buying and selling then - best of luck. You'll need it, when you either just copy inaccurate descriptions, or as you are now, not even putting any information about the bass up at all!

Cool stuff. I have one of those wirelesses. Good price on the tuner.

Yep, there'd be interest my end.

I'm not saying you are, just pointing out you use the for sale and self-promotion forums exclusively, try reading the post again. What's a low rider?

I tend to think of this place as a Bass Forum plus selling boards - not Selling Boards with attached forums. I think the idea is to contribute to the bass community - not just buy & sell, and advertise yourself for lessons etc. And Trev, I [b]will[/b] warn potential buyers or sellers about dealing with difficult people. And one more thing - I note you singularly failed to deal with the main point, which was that your post is exceptionally misleading as it's all someone elses words. If it's technical stuff, fair play - but yours was the whole thing. And [b]edit[/b]: I can't really understand what questions, if any, were in your post, too difficult to read, sorry.

Maybe he's just another "buy on eBay, mark it up and sell on BC" cowboy. Bought for £525 on eBay...Selling for £650 on Basschat. Gotta love that community spirit!

Hey Greg, just registering my interest. Still thinking on it though. Is there a case?

Yes, it is, Pedro. You can even see Trev's eBay question. So Trev is selling on a bass but using a personal description from someone else? I was suspicious as Trev's normal use of punctuation and spelling was not present. I don't trust "trev" as a seller or buyer, whatsoever. Had a really poor experience with him personally. And this just makes me think he is utterly taking the piss.

Might do - any chance of pics? Re. Jazz, sounds interesting, but not sure. I'll have a think.

Hi, any chance of pics to mikemcgibney AT gmail DOT com please? Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm after another Shuker 5, but that will be a while in the making - I might need a 5er to get me through the next few months. I don't want to spend more than £500 (ideally less) so post what you have! Cheers Mike

Are there pictures of the Yamaha?

I genuinely think if you're serious about shifting stuff, you'll put up some pictures. Otherwise people will just not be interested. I don't think your connection will suffer too badly if you upload a few photos to an online hosting website such as imagecave.

Trev, I think you've got a bloody brass neck on you. Moaning about people offering you less than what it's worth - sounds familiar, doesn't it? Remember a certain Warwick Streamer I was selling? You didn't want to pay my very reasonable price, and when I bent over backwards to help you, you messed me about for hours wasting my time and money. Sounds like Gareth suffered a similar thing. Buyer/Seller beware!
