Sounds like fun to me. Some of it's really scary stuff though. A challenge shall we say

A quick Google search turned up that DeLongi say that their dehumidifiers cost 2p per hour to run approx. Doing the math, that works out at £350 over two years, so I think the figure you have been hit with isn't out of the question. I'd be a bit pissed off that it took him two years to get round to billing you. But... it's a bit like when the council screws up the council tax - they just say "you knew you had to pay it so why did you spend the money?". I would express great surprise and ask him for the calibration certificate for the meter. When he doesn't have one, ask for the cost of the whole place for the last two years which should give you a clue.

Ok I'll do it then..... Mmmmm, substantial breasts vicar!!!

[quote name='simon1964' post='430748' date='Mar 10 2009, 05:21 PM']I've just bought one of the Musicman three band EQs which John East has designed. The bass and treble controls are meant to replicate a 2 band Stingray when the mids are flat, but with the ability to dial in some mids with a mid and mid sweep control. I've not got it yet, but I'm hoping it will give a bit more clout by dialling in some low mids. I'll post a review once its fitted.[/quote] Grrr... I just wanted to say that people who have Flash only websites will burn in hell. Loading...........................................................

[quote name='Adee' post='431049' date='Mar 10 2009, 10:01 PM']Sorry but it does . . from the Andertons website T&C's [u]Faulty Goods[/u] [i]Faulty goods, where the fault is due to manufacturing defect, will be exchanged or refunded where possible within the first 30 days of purchase[/i] Obviously the bass is now possibly older than a month. What date did you receive the bass ?[/quote] "where possible"..... Mmmmm..... I don't think the whole statement is legal but I'm not sure.

[quote name='Adee' post='430417' date='Mar 10 2009, 01:01 PM']You should normally be offered a replacement within 28 days of delivery date Check their T&C's on the website to see if they offer different terms. Make sure get them to send you a good packing box and that you keep all documentation when the Bass is collected by the courier. What net-shop did you buy it from?[/quote] It doesn't work like that.... it's all to do with what is reasonable and when you are deemed to have "accepted" it. Their offer of collecting it and repairing it does sound entirely reasonable. This *is* the downside of buying something mail order. It's hassle if you have to send it back. You *could* call up whoever the Fender distributor is and ask if you can send it in for warranty repair via a local Fender dealer but I wouldn't hold out much hope. Why would they local store bother? We used to do this in the car-audio trade (in an earlier life) - we'd send something away for someone off the street but we'd charge them for our time and the P&P. You could always claim that it wasn't of merchantable quality and you want a refund or replacement. I think you are in with a shout after only a month. You might end up at the Trading Standards going down that route though.

Sounds like we do similar stuff... I'll just point you at our set list.... [url="http://www.thebarkingspiders.org/node/3"]http://www.thebarkingspiders.org/node/3[/url]
