Having been born in the 1950s and brought up during the height of 'Beatlemania' i've tried to avoid the Fab Four ever since.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1352500010' post='1864037'] yeah but this is Meshell ndegeocello.. maybe not the best example [/quote]

I recently bought an Overwater Tanglewood Aspiration Elite 4-String Fretless but couldn't see it listed on the Overwater website so i emailed them and got a nice reply from Chris May: "I'm pleased you are liking you new bass! The top wood is maple - these basses have been made in small numbers (just a few dozen) - but the spec' is due to change with the next production and we are dropping the solid top at this level of production - so your bass will be fairly unique! :-)" I wondered if anyone else has got one of these basses (as there are obviously a few around) and what you think of it.

I'm always amazed that a lot sellers won't post guitars. There must be a lot of guitars that would have gone for double the price if they would post it and it's never been easier to arrange a courier. I wonder how they think it got to the dealer or shop in the first place?

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1351461871' post='1851524'] You have the option of blocking people with x number of unpaid item cases against the too. Mine is set: Block buyers who:[list] [*]Have received 2 unpaid item(s) recorded on their account within 1 month(s) [/list] [/quote] I've done the same re: Blocking buyers and have a list of over thirty blocked bidders who were either non-payers or very late payers etc.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1351423691' post='1850971'] With Ebay's brutal oppression of sellers, its bidders that are the potential problem causers now, that thread is here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/181272-blocking-problem-ebayers/page__p__1734439__hl__blocking%20problem__fromsearch__1#entry1734439"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1734439[/url] [/quote] I'm glad you posted that. You used to be able to give negative feedback to buyers but this was ended some years ago making a farce in my mind out of the feedback system. I have bought and sold many items successfully on ebay but as a seller have had dozens of items where the winning bidder (usually with no reason given) didn't pay up. Of course i haven't sent the item but the hassle of filing a claim etc makes this a real time consuming pain. I've even had 'buyers' email to tell me that that have bought a similar item that day so no longer want the one they bought from me! I've also had a 'buyer' that had bid (and won the auction) on the same item from myself and another seller but had only bought the lower priced one leaving me to file a claim to receive a refund which really is a hassle (this was Bass Guitar item related by the way!).

As the seller has listed two phone numbers why not phone them and speak to the seller?

[quote name='guybrush threepwood' timestamp='1351157158' post='1847944'] Where did you buy it from? [/quote] I was surfing the net for one on Sunday evening and PMT Online had them for £99.99 including next day delivery. I bought it as i thought it was a bargain not to be missed but i don't think they have any more at that price unfortunately.

[quote name='Ancient Mariner' timestamp='1351103493' post='1847432'] Very good. I like Korg processors. [/quote] Thanks. I like KORG stuff and have a MicroKorg, Monotron, Kaossilator & Ampworks so could't resist a AX3000B for that price.

Just took delivery of a brand new KORG AX3000B for the total sum of £99.99 including postage. One of the best bass related bargains i've ever had. Happy days!!!!!!!

Couldn't agree more. I wouldn't go anywhere without my Monotron and (along with my Kaossilator) it certainly made a wet caravan holiday sometime ago a lot better than it might have been! Look forward to seeing the vid.
