[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1361468289' post='1986211'] Take a pill mate. I've already pointed out that 'IF' what you say is true and he had a full set of images of the bass with everything disclosed, no hidden surprises and he turned up with a grand after you'd gone to that trouble then he is bang out of order. However, I don't know you, the situation OR a Vox bass from Adam so how can I or anyone else wholeheartedly castigate this other guy and pat you on the back? I'm 90% certain that as this other guy is a newbie on here then he may well have dropped you in the shyte but I'm not about to start a witchhunt based upon your view of the situation. However, had it been me I'd have done things differently. [/quote] did I call for witchhunt? I begun thread with respect to BC and its members,and then just stating the facts,or as you call it "my view of situation". You wanna see actual e mails? anyway, life goes on. hope moderator has no reason to edit my post now.

no fire here.I don't want to explain further more. if that seems like right,then I'd love to see you (warwickhunt) in same situation. i.e.,you re selling the bass and I tell you I am [b]buying[/b] it,just arrange personal courier to get it here,and when you complete that, I am showing and saying,ouch,I don=t actually like it now, I may pay it 3 times less,otherwise, get that bass back to England,thanx!

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1361463620' post='1986095'] Doesn't sound like you've lost ownership of the bass though? €3000 is a lot of cash for a bass & IMHO the guy couldn't commit to that kind of outlay without physically seeing it, no matter how good the pics are. You may be disappointed, but I don't think you've been ripped off. Also, for future reference, not accusing XXXX in any way at all, but be very wary of high value sales via a forum with folk with little history there. Which is about the same as an Ebay deal asking those with little feedback to email first. [/quote] I should lost ownership on the bass so you would share sympathy,eh? [b]" €3000 is a lot of cash for a bass & IMHO the guy couldn't commit to that kind of outlay without physically seeing it, no matter how good the pics are." [/b]-that goes in his defense? as I said, I am not robbed,but like clearly pointed - this guy saw bunch of photos,he presented him self as a Vox admirer,he clearly stated that he is buying the bass if I just arrange delivery. He said he is playing Vox Phantom bass for well over 35 years and he desperately wants to buy the one. He didnt said[i] "If you deliver, I will check and think,he said - I am buying the bass,do you need a cash deposit first[/i]"etc etc... Thank You Kevin and others!!!

Well,to say this first - I am not blaming Bass Chat whatsoever, it is great site with lots of good threads,information and great chaps,I am sure,but some people uses this to scam others. I am not robbed too,but this is pretty ugly situation. I had a bass for sale,there is a link for the thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/193315-fsftfeeler-vox-phantom1965-rare/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] some people were interested,however when they heard that I am from Sarajevo,they lost interest in dealing. I can understand,there is a great deal of a distance between UK and my country. On the other hand,people from Stuart Zender forum dealt with me in the past, had trust and everything ended well for both sides. Ask Simon,or Kevin Lindsay (he's a registered user here aswell) for Dragan and you'll see. What happened next is this man "XXXX" sent me a PM and email with interest about buying my bass. I said that delivery could be arranged either via DHL (so we are sure bass is fast and secure with no tax issues etc) or somebody could take bass to London. Fortunately I have several friends travelling to UK occasionaly. It happened that my friend was about to go to London in next few days so I arranged hand delivery for that gentleman. Needless to say,he was very eager about buying bass,he received a bunch of detailed pics and we agreed on the transaction. I didn't even asked for a deposit to secure myself (how foolish of me) I just trusted him and I gave my friend a bass guitar to be carried into plane and everything. The day he met with my friend was yesterday, he got into appartment and started "investigating" the bass and very soon started with [i]"this looks like well worn instrument,all those dings and dents"[/i] (even he saw all the photos and agreed that bass had busy life,but that's perfectly OK) than he went and said that he can buy a new bass guitar for that money, and he has 1000 euros (price were set for 3000) so if she wants to take that money. Lately,he wrote an e mail to me and said that he expected everything would be original (and it is!) and that he "didn't like the bass,sorry." He expected that I'd be into trouble with delivering the bass to UK and back and that I will agree on give anything solution. His name is XXXX so if you happen to have some kind of a deal with this person,be aware! BTW Bass is in London now,so if there is someone interested in this rare vintage bass guitar now may easily check it . Thank you for your time. Dragan

my '77 P also has gasket. they put that to protect the finish? didn't know that,thank you (i thought previous owner did it for godknowswhy)

fender jazz with flats sounds much like double bass plus you can do low action set up to help with your arthritis pain.

and now i should ask you how much?

that bass on the left! lovely! i always wanted euro in that finish. is that euro lx or usa?

here's mine lovely EURO LX 5 absolutely gorgeous bass! upgraded with EMG BQC preamp as I don't like tone pump pre.

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1354644833' post='1888679'] Incorrect. [/quote] I guess I made an mistake for using "bullet".. I thought you were saying that trussrods were at the bottom on the neck,as I claim it's on the top (at the headstock) that's my American 1983 Precision bass

AV allright, but standard 1983 P basses had bullets on the headstock.
