I'd imagine the false/forged documents are the serious issue?

Yup I reckon so, he also pretended to be in a police station when he phoned me, well the 'policeman' phoned me. He even sent  a pic of the policeman behind the desk. Obviously I knew it was bollocks and asked for the police station number so I could call him back to confirm it was real. Apparently that station didn't have a direct dial number 🤣 Hope he gets the book thrown at him

Ive just bought number 23 of 25, the last one available from the guys at @Ashdown Engineering Its a monster as youd expect. Ive not found much better out there for build quality, sound and customer service. I agree with everything @JGSpector has said above, truly versatile and built like a tank. 

Bought on this very parish from @Alfie Noakes See listing attached

In great condition and used for a couple of shows only, comes with a nice carry case.

Can take more pics if needed. UK postage included and no trades ta

Possibly the most frequently spoken phrase on Basschat 

Thats because we are all stoopid! 

These are amazing! Had one and stupidly sold it

The best updates and reasoning for buying said amp I’ve seen! Top work fella 😂

Have a bump on me

Re.....

1. Need to thin the collection: against logic and probably against Basschat rules, the whole point of a collection is that you collect the items in it, it's not called a 'thinection'
2. Don't need another bass: again, against Basschat rules, you always need another bass, every member of Basschat always needs another bass
3. I don't really need a Jazz Bass: how can you possibly know that you don't need a Jazz Bass if you don't have a Jazz Bass? 

I hope I've clarified things for you Marc 

 

Sums things up perfectly 👌👌👌

OOoshh this is tempting and I am passing by pretty much en route to Kempton Park this weekend for The Guitar Show.

I’ll be doing my best to represent the low end! Taking a good haul of 24 basses so plenty to noodle on

Not helping my Bassman gas at all this post 🤣

Well thats a peach indeed

That looks lush mate, never seen one before. If off to check them out

What a sweetie 

Lovely that buddy, the colour and wear is sublime

UPDATE:

 

Thank you all for your input! The bass is on its way back to the builder at no cost to me and I have been assured that it will be repaired and made perfect.

 

I only shared the ugly aspects of it but it's not all bad, the bass plays really well and the neck is beautiful. It also looks awesome as long as you don't look too close. 😅  I'm not making excuses for him because obviously it should all be perfect.

 

I am giving him a second chance because I did a lot of research on this guy and have spoken personally to someone who owns one, for some reason it seems like I got unlucky. I really want this bass and if it's not perfect I can always send it back again for a full refund although I pray that it doesn't come down to that. If I had a feeling that he was consistently putting out shoddy work and scamming people it would be a different story. He seems to be keen to make amends so fingers crossed.

 

 

 

 

Yeah the bridge does look a little too far to the right @Kev

The bass is gone now, this is the only other photo I have taken from his bench. The bridge doesn't have adjustable string spacing.

If these are his pics before he sent it, you cant see the scrapes near the bridge that you can see on yours after delivery. Must have happened in the packing/shipping/storage stage.

Coming on too strong and belittling the OP is a classic online blunder. It puts them and others off, and makes this forum less useful.

Im not sure if thats correct tbh. Asking for other peoples input and opinions is always going to be tricky if you won't give all the info ( builders name ) and then get offended at the end. Ive only ever found that 99% of the people on here are genuine and are willing to help anyone sort out a situation. Theres the odd one of course... Hopefully he gets the bass he wants and originally ordered.

Calm down, man. I had already decided it was unacceptable, I was looking for help and solutions on what to do about it. 

 

I have sent the bass back and he is going to refinish it.

Are they going to sort the frets and other issues too? Didn't look like the only problem was the finish but obvs its you call and bass/money.

Ampeg SVT DI

These things are really great but she’s sitting unused on the shelf so I’d like to move her on. Cash or would take an HX Stomp in PX too.

UK Shipping included.

If my Jazz neck sells mate I will be in touch. GLWTS dude

I've just booked a hotel for the Friday night after a gig. So I can go to the show and then return West, do another gig on the Saturday and then go home after that. 

Well come and say hello buddy. Should be a canny weekend 

You're super covered so don't panic. However, I have had similar before that if a courier knows he's not going to make it on the day/time its supposed to be there for they will sign for it saying delivered and bring it the day after. Naughty, yes and a flippin' nightmare but it has happened to be ( on a £5k bass I sent to a customer ). Hope you get the bass, but at worst you'll get your cash back. Not cool on the shop in question though, they should really take full responsibility.

Parcelforce are dreadful and I won't use them unless theres no option. Just done a deal with @itsmedunc on a Barefaced cab and he waited in for 2 days for Parcelforce to collect, which of course they didn't. I then reverted back to UPS and I have it within 24 hours.
