RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

[quote name='Musky' post='565380' date='Aug 10 2009, 08:48 PM']There's a phone number on the Summerfield home page - 0191 414 9000.[/quote] Thanks for that. I've left message on their answerphone. I'll let you know outcome tomorrow.

Loving the Lakland . The 'Ricky''s good too

The best thing to do ,is to try as many basses as possible until you find one or two that catch the ear/eye. There are so many types out there now. You could try Dean,Schecter,Gibson/Epiphone thunderbird/BCRich/washburn for starters. Also ,if your bass feels good and it's only the sound that's bothering you,you could try effects pedals,or possibly a change of amp.

I'm still confused . I sent them email last week, heard nothing. Took cable back to shop,but was told to post it to the address on box. (no uk address) Tried to get onto the link (see above) ,that didn't work. It looks like unless I can find a lead(sorry) to a uk dept. I'll have to put it down to bad experience. I realise leads do cease to operate at any given moment,but if there is a lifetime guarantee what about an address for the company you purchased from?

Yep,the new strings can clearly be heard. I think this pedal's really good. It seems to cater for many types of distortion.

Been on PW website. Mainly American. Looked up uk Stores. Followed link to summerfieldmusic,but error message keeps coming up. 'not recognised oin our server' Does anyone have uk phone no. or proper link to website?

Just nipped down to shop. Nice guy etc. but said that there 's an address at back of box to contact. (usa) I'll check the thread above,and see what develops. Thanks guys

Howdy! My cable works no more. I have box,but NO RECEIPT . I've emailed someone on the website last week and had no reply. Any ideas ? Cheers

[quote name='ray_6ao7' post='562816' date='Aug 7 2009, 02:59 PM']Warwick Corvette Taranis 4 string & standard tuning is BEAD [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/72495"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/72495[/url][/quote] That's a nice bass.......

The money doesn't really bother me. I just like to play in front of more than one man and his dog/cat . Looks like 90% + think I should just carry on regardless. I'll tell this to Mr. Drums . We may form a duo Triangle and Tambourine,(and probably getmore interest).

[quote name='chris_b' post='558746' date='Aug 2 2009, 09:15 PM']The other problem; it was £5 on the door! In my experience most British audiences are tight fisted gits, and are unlikely to pay to see a band they don't know![/quote] Yeah ,I wouldn't charge £5.00 . It should've been free. I did mention that

Bump. It's free ! I want nothing....

Item received. Nice seller.

I always know where I want my winning items to arrive.(Home/Work) I deleted my old work address 2+ yrs ago. I asked for my latest item to be posted to my present work address. Paypal got it right. Ebay had it sent to old one, despite my instruction confirmed clearly! The seller had package redirected by courier co. Good of them both to do so. Sent them complaint via the 20,00 options bar the obvious.....

[quote name='JanSpeeltBas' post='560855' date='Aug 5 2009, 07:53 AM']Thanks - a loverly Steiny and indeed a XM3 - very rare. Keep us posted when you extend your collection! [/quote] Will do

[quote name='JanSpeeltBas' post='560606' date='Aug 4 2009, 08:49 PM']Everything well then? OT: show us your PJ'd Steinberger - should be a XM4 - recently played a custom Q with PJ's - the ultimate P-sound!!! and who is CH Guitars? [/quote] Hi janspeeltbas CH Guitars is a business my friend started up . He's a geordie based ..in Newcastle! He sells loads of parts for guitars on the bay . He used to import guitars from China (now Korea..better quality) Very good replicas . Regarding the Steiney ,I think mine's called xm3 custom (due to pickups) Don't think Steinberger know much about their own products to be honest Glad you like them . I'm after a trans-trem .. Also one of their earlier models in Yellow (have seen one on their site) and a white one. Cheers

Update: Seller contacted me ,and sent item via courier (nep?) They tried today allegedly to deliver. (very quick). I sent seller My mobile no. We spoke, he seems like a great guy. I should receive tomorrow. I let it go ,initially because I won bid on a saturday . (Thought it best to chill out and let seller enjoy his weekend) I would've sent him message tonight , but there was no need . As one of you guys pointed out: I thought it unusual not to get email from either ebay/paypal . I'll let you know full outcome tomorrow. Cheers

Howdy! Much as I loathe the above these days, I got a bargain IMHO and I was automatically taken to Paypal's website and parted with dosh. Previously,if the buyer or seller were successful in a transaction they would get confirmation emails.I received nothing. I won the bid as a 'Buy it now' on Saturday .Is this their new idea I wonder? I know it's only 2 days ago. Do you think I should wait another day, or 'contact seller'? Any ideas Cheers

Lawnmower death anyone??

I didn't think there was a level to slapping. It's a nice skill if you can do it. I'd just carry on slapping. You'll probably have a feeling ,when you get to the level of Jordan etc.
