So is the latest copy of the mag out yet and has anyone had it delivered? I am sure its been at least two months since the last one? Steve

I can't see what's to be gained by baiting the guy. Why make things worse for him when he is obviously p1ssed off with what has happened?

Has anyone received the latest issue? I had to write to them to get Januarys issue so I hope they havent forgotten me again. I also ordered a back issue that I had to write numerous eMails to receive. Very shoddy service and I won't be renewing. Steve

Two stunning basses just posted. Congrats!! Steve

Dave bought my mates bassbone off him and I coordinated the transaction. He paid really quickly and it was really pleasant and easy to deal with. Steve

Save yourself the grief and just get some Bergs.

"Interesting comments, clearly many have issues with the shop and there seem to be a mix of constructive and unconstructive ones. Giving the weight to the later, I'm removing my post for risk of further inflaming the situation. " If you think V&R are overpriced then don't buy from them. simple.

I bought my 65 Jazz from V&R in Bath and was very happy with the service I received and met Ben. I probably could have bought it for 15% cheaper on the 'street' but I have the assurance of knowing it is all original and its provenance is correct. I used them for the same reasons you may buy a Porsche from a reputable dealer as opposed to some guy in the paper. Steve

[quote name='queenofthedepths' post='438504' date='Mar 18 2009, 05:45 PM']Is there anyone here who's actually paid an obscene amount (or anything above its useful value at all...) for an instrument just because of its age/rarity? And I mean OLD age - I think the price of a new bass is obscene compared to the used market, but that hasn't stopped me buying several myself. Does anyone know anyone who's bought one of those crazily-priced 60s Fenders on eBay?[/quote] Yes my 65 Jazz was an obscene amount of money and is now worth about 2/3 or what I paid for it. The only consolation is that it is the nicest sounding bass I have ever played and if I had left the money in shares I would be down by more. Steve

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='438339' date='Mar 18 2009, 03:19 PM']Acording to my dictionary gay is brightly coloured. So are highly figured tops gay? Are LED's gay?[/quote] Are you ok ferret? You seem to have come over all queer?

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='432968' date='Mar 12 2009, 10:31 PM']Yes its a good feeling having less basses for some strange reason [/quote] I agree with you on this point, its almost liberating. Steve

[quote name='Flanker' post='432824' date='Mar 12 2009, 08:10 PM']This has started happening to me too in the last few days? Just the odd thread.[/quote] That'll be your wife paying Ped to fix it...

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='431643' date='Mar 11 2009, 04:40 PM']I used a two-channel amp, but something like a Radial Bassbone would do the trick...[/quote] Ooh theres one for sale in the for sale effects section as well :-)
