Beautiful. Can't beat a sunburst AV62 RI Jazz in the looks stakes

Mrs Rick must be very understanding! Wonderful collection there. Is the last one a Fender or a Bravewood (it looks very like the one with the shrunken tort guard that was sold on here by Kevin Lindsay a few months back)?

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1334873068' post='1622871'] You don't know that. You just think it. [/quote] I think you'll find you're talking to yourself here as the ferret was banned from this forum a couple of years back!

Thats a great new take on the classic 50s Precision design. Lovely! Congratulations

As we have so many trades I thought I'd just copy the Beedster's latest bit of feedback for me and just change the names ******************** Guess what.......... As ever, it's a joy as well as a reminder of the old school BC values to deal with [s]Clarky[/s] Chris. There is no better bloke on here to deal with. We have decided to set up a high speed expedited uberlink between our bank accounts to save time in future! C(larky)

Second deal with Martin who this time bougfht my Alleva Coppolo 5 string P bass. As before, completedly transpaent and friendly in his dealings and a credit to BassChat

Update: despite having had faulty Markbass amp back in their hands for two weeks and emailing me on 12th April to say they would refund asap, Thomann have still not refunded me. I emailed yesterday to ask why and they said the relevant department was "under-staffed" and that they would get on the case (but with no timescale attached) On the other amp, GuitarGuitar sent me returns forms yesterday morning and by lunchtime had picke dup the faulty Phil Jones combo. So far they have acted pretty swiftly so I am hopeful that they will show the customer service that has been lacking so far from Thomann

Owen just bought an Acoustic Image amp from me. He was quick to rectify a small banking glitch and was an absolute pleasure to deal with

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1334518395' post='1617166'] I play in an acoustic band and we all use amplification. So, that's my recommendation. [/quote] Ditto

I just bought a lovely old 19c double bass from Emlyn. He was very accommodating throughout (drove down from Leeds to Watford to stay with friends to facilitate handover) and thoroughly charming. Another one to add to the ranks of friendly, trustworthy BC'ers to do business with

In a fit of righteous indignation I am just going to get another refund rather than a replacement (I say "another refund" but the first from Thomann hasn't arrived and GuitarGuitar haven't sent me the returns forms despite me phoning and emailing them ....) I am going to stick with my MarkBass amp and two Wizzy cabs as those work just fine (not as good as Acoustic Image for my double bass ... but good enough)

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1334413584' post='1615916'] I tried some PJBs in the Gallery a couple of years ago. [/quote] Bit late for me! Anyways, I think its reasonable to expect that a brand new "high end" amp would arrive at my home in working condition
