Bought a 62 SX Jazz copy off sickpuppy and am NOT pleased...
After sickpuppy said he would send it Royal Mail Special Delivery (and charged appropriately for postage), the bass finally arrived about 20 mins ago via parcelfroce 48 hour service.
My experience is a similar one to derrenleepoole. As can be seen in the photo's this bass simply wrapped in two thin bin liners (with a bit of tape round the neck) with no other packaging whatsoever! As you can imagine the bass did not arrive unscathed - the bin liner was ripped at the bottom exposing the body and a large chunk of finish is missing straight through to the wood. The bottom strap pin has also been damaged so it is now impacted into the body.
I did ask before buying if the bass had any marks or dings and was told it did not. I can easily count 4 or 5 areas of damage on the body alone. The seller also said the sale would include a set of chrome bridge and pickup covers - these were not included. The neck is also in a bit of a state, there seems to be some kind of green gunge on the frets (whether or not this would polish off I’m not sure)
I have PM'd sickpuppy and am awaiting a response.
It is a shame as this looks like it has been a really nice bass to begin with and just what I was after, however the whole experience has left me disappointed.
