    A friend works in a bookshop and she said that people will open the Amazon app in the shop and buy the book there. It’s mad

    Agreed. Also, with high priced electrical goods, if you can prove that the fault was there when you bought it (dodgy fan, etc) then you can claim a refund up to 6 years after you bought it. (Consumer Rights Act) Manufacturers selling high value items can’t simply put their hands up after 13 months and say it’s not their responsibility - even if they try.

    The Jack Cassidy basses are wonderful. I’ve played them a couple of times and they’re just excellent instruments and good value for money.

    Will do. I have to say the service from Thomann was amazing for a low value item. I spoke with someone there and literally measured the bass on a video call. The chap went away and processed all the details to find me what he considered would fit. And if it doesn’t I can return it back for free. I tried 3 UK bass shops (via email) and had no response.

    Cheers Nick. I’ve got a 1/4 case on the way which should fit (as you can remove the top scroll bit). If that doesn’t work it’s Bass Bags!

    I was wondering about this as well. It's really annoying!
  7. Burns-bass
    People buy something new and don’t play but still assume they can sell it ‘as new’ - when it’s obviously considered used. Always the same.

    It may be worth posting in the “General” section (if that’s allowed). Possibly more likely to find someone in NI that could help you. Would lend you the David Gage, but you’re quite far away!

    If you can read the dots you’ll find loads of good stuff here. http://en.instr.scorser.com/SS/Double+bass/All/Étude.html

    Yes, that’s how it should be. On reflection my price is too high as well so I’ve made mine the same as yours. Not trying to hijack this; I wish you the best of luck.

    Crikey this is a great deal!

    The process is also very simple. I’ve done it.

    Looks lovely. As a polite suggestion, it might be a good idea to get the bridge fitted and sell it when it’s 100% perfect. That’s what I’d do. Good luck with it!

    Eddie, it’s your life bro and you can do what you want. I think the whole bass community knows that Jon sucks. You’re not helping us, or yourself... We all want you to get a bass you cherish and love and that isn’t going to come from Jon. I’m sorry. Even if it arrives it’s going to disappoint you.

    Ahh, this happened to me! The courier claims they delivered it (but they didn’t as they were in a rush). They then come back and drop the parcel off a few days later. I have correspondence somewhere from a delivery company explaining this is what had happened. Guess it’s that the courier had too much work on.

    I can now post this (if you want it!)

    Chris means well. Every time you engage with Jon and post it, you perpetuate this. In the end, we all know nothing will happen and you’ll become more and more exasperated with him. Chris’s way is the fastest way to heal. I appreciate you’ve lost money and that’s awful but you need to weigh this against the emotional impact of continuing with this. You’re not helping the bass community by harming yourself.

    Every new business needs customers otherwise we’d end up with just Fender and Gibson. In the end, you have to put your trust in people sometimes, and they can let you down (as has happened here). I wouldn’t take the attitude and approach of Jon as indicative of every small scale luthier.

    Here is my quite fantastic EBS HD350. This can do everything from slap bass funk to deep and delicious flatwound jazz and blues. I’ve had it for about 5 years and it works flawlessly. I’ve bought the flight case which fits it really well. Its a heavyweight amp that’s built to perform and I’ve loved it but now I need something a little lighter. Trials in Bristol welcome!

    I never get why people buy things, don't use them and then add stupid stuff like a chrome cover (which this bass never had). Doughnut.
  23. Burns-bass
    I’ve emailed the fellas at Thomann. They’ve previously been very helpful so let’s see what they say.

    This is the last bass I have that I’m selling. It’s a 1990-1991 Squier Japan Precision. The bass has been professionally set up, the pots have and jack socket have been replaced and it’s got a new set of D’Addarrio Chromes on it. The bass has wear and tear and has been used. The vintage frets are quite low as I’ve tried to picture. There are marks on the back of the neck and the bass finish has scratches as you’d expect. I guess you’d class it as vintage nowadays… The bass is light (will weight it tomorrow) and has a very narrow jazz bass style neck. I can add a soft case. Collection is preferred, but I can now post. Reduced to £299
  25. Burns-bass
    Yeah I get all that, but it’ll be better than the 3/4 case I currently use!
