[quote name='Clarky' post='692709' date='Dec 24 2009, 12:07 AM']There you go hyping again - the Vicuna is clearly better adapted to higher altitudes than the Lllama, weighs less and can bleat louder when pushed [attachment=38825:408.jpg][/quote] LMAO Classic post.

Trade threads are still fine yeah. Just if the seller decided to sell there must be a cash price. And if anyone sells to me, they must reduce said cash price by 50% Cheers ped

Hi guys We have decided that from here on in, sellers must clearly state a price when selling items in the marketplace. This will make transactions more upfront and stop people effectively holding private auctions. If you have a thread without a price, please edit and add one - any new threads from now on will need a price. See rule #5 for sellers here http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&section=rules&f=19 Cheers ped

Yep, so I think we are all pretty bored of this discussion now! So someone didn't like a BF cab. Cool. Well actually he does like it. Or whatever. Read the review. I have lost track and this thread is now far from useful. ped

Lads. That's enough. Seriously. It's a box with speakers in it. Seriously. Finnbass ped

Mmm those Zons are lovely

Here's my twins!! Well, as close as I can get anyway. It's nice having a pair ;0)

Oh, you deleted your post. See, you can do it!! ped

EBS: Not really that interesting to know that people are reading the finnbass forum, especially as I have given a link. move on mate. You should see what's in my other tabs ped

[quote name='bigthumb' post='686586' date='Dec 16 2009, 05:41 PM']Finbass, dear oh dear. What do they know. At the Moffat bass bash I was the bassist asked to stand on the 'stage' and demo the gear (including a BF Compact). I used a Precision belonging to Peter (GreenKing) and mainly my Euphonic Audio iAmp800 head. The audience didn't comprise of all the 'usual suspects' wanting to slate BF cabs and make digs at Basschat but some pretty competent, knowledgeable and experienced bass players. I dont want to make any comments about the cab as I feel that the chaps in the audience would have had a better appreciation of tonal quality than me being too close to it. Anyhow I dont hold any axe to grind at Alex, I've had a short correspondence with him and he seems a nice guy plus I would still like to try a BF 'Big One' at some point. Please dont tar all Finnbassers with the same brush. [/quote] Not my intention at all. I am still friends with may people from that site and long may it continue. Just saying go there and read about these speakers if you think there is a distorted picture over here. Please - no more digging at one another. ped

Yes yes yes. We all get it, i'm sure. Go check out [url="http://www.finnbass.com"]www.finnbass.com[/url] ped

[quote name='paul h' post='686394' date='Dec 16 2009, 03:12 PM']Thread summary... Dodgy handles, not satisfied with tone. Speakers need playing in a bit so the jury is out. Took a bit too much effort to sort out. Bit of bad feeling generated. And in usual basschat style this has been interspersed with people being happy to hear that some body was not happy with a product.(??? Still don't get it.) A few little personal digs here and there and somebody even managed to mention finnbass. So, no change here then. [/quote] ...and yet ANOTHER account by Bass_Ferret has been uncovered and the fact Finnbass has been brought up again is just the icing on the cake. Yeah, things have got rather silly and the usual digs have arisen again! Can I just remind everyone - WERE TALKING ABOUT A BOX WITH SOME SPEAKERS IN IT. peace ped

I am really not precious about mine any more. It's quite worn, like an old jumper, and if I knock it on a door or something I don't mind - it's as solid as a rock and has a lot of character. There used to be a time when I played an Alembic that I would be afraid to play the bass almost, but as my #1 bass has a non glossy finish and lots of nice worn areas I can just pick it up and it feels 'warm' straight away. I am much more careful with my fretless, but it's annoying because the gloss black finish and mirror fingerboard means I can see all the finger marks! I don't think I could have a main bass that I had to be especially careful with. I don't mean I willingly dent my bass or anything. I take great 'care' of it and it's my most precious possession, but I don't 'baby' it, I guess. ped

I like the Vertex - never seen one before...

Not all of it - and the company in question weren't about to defend themselves! Seriously - let's just take the review at face value and let Alex and Rob sort this out in private. ped

Can you keep your negotiations to yourselves please chaps. ped

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='684321' date='Dec 14 2009, 07:02 PM']In all honesty? Yes. I've done it before with Genz Benz. I just find it a more constructive and civil way to do things.[/quote] Whilst saying you will post a thread about poor service/goods on BC is actually now a substantial threat to any company, there is no rule saying you have to contact the company first - and this is no exception. It sounds like several opportunities arose for the situation to be rectified, and I guess Alex would have expected something to have been said on BC when the customer felt unfairly treated. Good review and quite measured, given the frustration this has caused. Hopefully things will be put right (behind the scenes) and we can all learn from it. After my last public BC complaint, Roland have even put people who can read in their warehouses, so it does work. ped
