Well guys, we have a breakthrough. Roland are sending me the item direct straight away and Dawsons are coming to get the other pickups from work tomorrow, and my original postage is being refunded. Chalk one up for consumer rights! ped

Do you guys reckon fretless basses should have lines?

Just sent this: Hi ********, I have spoken to Roland who have confirmed the product is still in stock and being manufactured. I thought I would send you a link to the discussion of this issue on my website. It has just had 1000 unique views. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59858&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59858&hl=[/url] I apologise if I I sound angry in the beginning but I am sure you can see my side of the argument, and you in particular have been a great help so far in correspondence. I urge you to rethink your policy (paying particular attention to the section of that thread about my refund rights as a distance customer) Please get back to me ASAP. Many thanks Christopher

Thanks guys. I have been pretty busy but will forward this info to the guy at Dawsons, who, to be fair, seems to be listening and a fair chap. Probably not his idea that he won't refund my money, but I absolutely refuse to comply with this particular policy. Roland, on the other hand, are being fantastic. ped

yeah that was cool fun. Definitely something to be explored another time I think. Me and Kiwi tried to get a double electric bass jam going in Northampton but it didn't really work!

Me too I think Lee - let's hold hands :0)

Hope everyone had a good day![/quote] Haha. Yeah Oli did a great job of cooking up some beats at the last minute. We hadn't met until about 5 mins beforehand so it was a great experience 'jamming' for the first time during my workshop thing. Cheers ped

Yeah we discussed that possibility and I guess it's the only option. Nice to see you on Sat :0) ped

I would comply if I could, but I can't sign a whole day away to waiting for TNT or waiting in a que in the Post Office (if it's even open with the strikes being on in Oxford) and it's miles away now anyway!!

Thanks. Just had a quick look but couldn't see anything :0(

Not if I send them a link ;0)

Just had my email from Roland who have confirmed that the product is still available, and that they in fact have no less than 23 in stock. Further to the bashing Dawson's music have already received I also mentioned the poor service during my Vbass demo at the bash which I believe was filmed and will be on the internet very soon. Dawsons - I hope you are reading this! ped

People heard ped's in town!

BTW I mainly bought this camera for its superb macro performance, focusing on things touching the lens!!

Cheers - some are out of focus and others oversharpened due to an export fail in Lightroom... you can see better ones on my Flickr page. The camera is a compact, believe it or not. A Ricoh CX1. I love it, take it everywhere. More often than not I shoot in B/W with the ISO at 400 and a limit on the slow shutter speed so it takes great 'action' shots. Great camera! Cheers ped

Cheers - bit annoyed myself because lots of them are out of focus - I didn't put enough attention into taking the pics, I was too busy checking out stuff and planning my Vbass demo thing (left it to literally the last min of course!!) Cheers ped P.s anyone else have pics??

[quote name='silddx' post='622720' date='Oct 10 2009, 09:43 PM']Thanks mate. Great to meet you too! That VBass demo of yours has really got me thinking![/quote] Thinking about giving me bass lessons, probably!!

Done! That's lucky, I thought I messed it up and lost yer' pics! Great to meet you today :0)

Hi everyone, What an awesome day Ihad today - really nice to put a few more faces to screen names and I got to play lots of basses through lots of amplifiers and listen to some super talented people talking about what they do best. Massive thanks to all involved, for setting it up, for coming along, and for making it such a great day. Here are some pics taken on my camera. I didn't take many as I was so busy chatting to people and listening to the seminars! Add your pics here! Cheers ped

You should be able to take this stuff back to your nearest Dawsons and get a refund there....[/quote] There isn't one very near Oxford I don't think - though it might be worth the trip so I can brick some windows! ped
