What I've taken from this thread is that if I order something discounted at PMT I should maybe expect it to arrive in less than perfect condition and that PMT will sort it out if it's something that I find unacceptable ..so that's pretty useful information and if anything I'm more likely to buy from PMT👍

Just watched Josh Homme perform Let's Dance from the Taylor Hawkins tribute...he does a pretty good job..but the drums and bass just made me go🤤 beautiful stuff!

Quite the siege in the first half! COYS!

I bought an Ibanez Mikro for my sons' 7th birthday he's loved playing & it's going to last him a good while, I've enjoyed using it too & can also say despite it being scaled down it is a very useful Instrument & I'll look to modding/upgrading components in the future.

I've just seen a post on Facebook from Malcolm Joseph regarding his basses, details in the screen shots..

..a King size bed?

Her video of Every Time You Go Away by Paul Young is really good...as is most of the others tbf

also some of the returns we get are stinking...smoke,food,incense,perfumes..but we take it all back..

I work in retail & our company policy gives you 28 days to return for an exchange or refund as long as all tags etc are intact, we often start days in deficit. Recently had someone want to return stuff bought in the xmas sale for a birthday in May & it didn't fit....

Too late..

Assuming it's now treated as unsolicited or abandoned goods, the bass still belongs to the seller. You do not have to go out of your way to return it, and you should not incur any costs, but the fact that they haven't arranged for its collection does not mean that it now becomes yours. This only happens after a period of six years and your options for that period are pretty limited. However, you are not expected to be a storage facility for six years so you can sell it, but really only if you no longer want to store it for them. You must write to them telling them what you are going to do and giving a reasonable period for them to arrange collection (minimum of 14 days) if they don't want it to be sold. Having done this you now have a sum of money that belongs to the original seller - it does not become yours for the balance of the six years and if they ask you for the money then you have to hand it over. And before you think of a clever ploy to flog it to a mate for a penny, the seller might reasonably take you to court if you sell it for well below it's market value....that said, a nice, honest listing on a well known auction site highlighting the bass' deficiencies might generate a sale at a reasonable price to somebody you have tipped off. Assuming you don't sell it, you can't do anything to change the condition of the bass - you can't fix it and play it as the seller can ask you for it back in its original condition at any point for the next six years. The stories you hear about telling companies that you're going to leave the mis-delivered items out on the street if the seller/courier doesn't collect it don't hold much legal weight. Puts you in a difficult position. But only really a risk if the seller is going to ask for it back in the next six years. The best outcome is if they tell you that they don't want it, but getting that out of them now seems to be a problem. Good luck [/quote] Many thanks for making that clear, that information is very useful., I have sent a message asking if he intends to arrange collection(it is all packed & ready) hopefully he will get back in contact..

Thanks for the replies..this from the email from ebay [color=#000000][font=Tahoma][size=4]I have carefully reviewed your case and I am happy to inform you that we would like to take care of this today by issuing you a full refund as the seller failed to collect the item from you. Please know that you don't need to send this item back to the seller. However, the seller may still contact you and have this item back to them and they will shoulder the returns postage. Please consider this resolved.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Tahoma][size=4]I have never had a dispute before so really unsure how tp proceed[/size][/font][/color]

Hi all, I recently bought a bass on ebay for £150 that had some unadvertised issues. I contacted the seller & he disagreed with all of the the things I said...long story short ebay found in my favour after it was dragged out to it's conclusion. The seller was given time to organise the return & did not contact me,ebay then refunded me without the bass being returned the seller then got in touch to have the bass returned. After such a protracted transaction I told him I would keep it safe & ready for HIM to organise the collection of it as I would be making no further effort, I have not heard from him since, it has been two weeks. Am I able to fix & keep this bass or dispose of as I see fit or do I just wait until he arranges collection?

Well that's in my head all day! Great stuff!!

He still has some non-music related(matter of opinion I suppose) items for sale.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Entirely-Ineffective-Garden-Vacuums-/272595357597?hash=item3f77f30f9d:g:qRAAAOSwol5YzVA8

[quote name='Grahambythesea' timestamp='1490202994' post='3263231'] Thank you, the 'sh' is a surprise but I guessed the chick bit!! May be their sales profile might have been helped had they adopted a more western sounding name like the chinese do. Adrian guitars would have been pretty good. [/quote] If i had a product i wanted my name on I wouldn't change my name or abbreviate it unless I actually like the abbreviation..learning to say the name is like a badge of honour!

I actually have had so little contact with a standard P-bass & don't have one to hand that I can't answer that question,sorry

There's more of a 'woody' kind of sound naturally & it's easy to get a nice motown vibe but depending on eq & p/up blend they can give a nice vintage growl too, they are smooth to touch & feels effortless to play..& as a bonus the black against maple looks really nice!
