I never beat myself up about this stuff. If I have a maximum of £800 to spare that’s what I can spend. It may come with an all expenses paid trip to Vegas but if it’s more than £800 I can’t afford it!

I just take the stand that if I’m the high bidder I get it if I’m not I don’t. Not going to offer extra. If some one is looking for a bass at a budget and people work together to find one in that budget I can’t see an issue with that either.

Jumping jack flash - stones

Long tall sally - little Richard snap! Freight train - joan baez

This one is very tidy: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402919180648D I would replace the pick guard though.

White light white heat - velvet underground

It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing - Ella Fitzgerald

The neck is definitely fixable- one good thing about the budget black finish is that the repairs won’t show once retouched.

Yep - I was looking for one of these for a while and as they mid 80’s and “cheap” they have frequently been gigged.

They are pretty rare but do crop up - one on flea bay at the mo: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234048726358

I think the return and full refund would be enough legally but if I am not a lawyer! I agree as a gesture of good faith they should give you a credit note or knock a few £ off.

Depends on how you want to proceed with this. They are in clear breach of the trade descriptions act. They advertised it as 9/10 their mistakes are not your problem. That said they have offered a return and full refund so this would cover them of any liability if I understand this correctly.

My baby just cares for me - Nina Simone

Killing me softly- Roberta Flack

I agree with this. There are also only so many combinations of notes in the world and subliminal music is everywhere. It’s not as if you need a physical device or a radio tuned to one of 3 channels or so to be exposed to it. Some similarities are unavoidable. I do find it a bit rich when some of the bands that have knowing plundered and exploited the blues musicians of the past go on a litigation spree though!

Rock and a hard place - sisters of mercy

Work is a four letter word - the smiths

Black magic woman - Green or Santana

Hells Bells -ac/dc

The only possible defence for this is in 1968 or so some hippie bought this used from a US pawn shop, dropped some acid and thought it would be a fun thing to do.

Timadrit in Sahara - Tinariwen

Fairy tale of New York - pogues

10.15 Saturday night- the cure

Swordfish trombones- Tom Waits

Moonchild - Fields of the Nephilim
