  1. Paul S started following I have been ripped off (by Mick Mason of Leicester - Facebook scammer/thief) , The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society! , Feedback for Paul S and 4 others

    That is grossly unfair, as it happens. I have had a handful and consider them to be have been excellent value for money. And David is a great guy to deal with.

    Kind words, Nik, and the same back atcha. Did you have your eyes on anything in particular? I'm thinking maybe not the Harley Benton... 😂

    Nik bought my Aria bass in the easiest of transactions. But, apart from that, he is such a lovely chap! We spent far too long chatting about gear, droughts and Life in general. An absolute pleasure doing business.

    Well, it is short scale. There is a new fretboard with extra frets on the old long scale neck giving you the smaller intervals between frets. And if that is someone's reason for liking a short scale then I guess that is a winner. But not for me - I would prefer the whole thing scaled down with 20 frets on a shorter neck with the associated reduction in weight. Maybe, even better, a 32" scale, with appropriate body, neck and weight reduction would have been nice.

    In my old blues rock trio I used to do the MC stuff. I'd always start with 'We are called Toredown. If you've seen us before we have some new tunes. Probably some new mistakes. (pause) But the same old jokes'. 'If you haven't seen us before we go something like this'... the launch into it straight off. We found that the more blues rock orientated punters liked to know something about the songs, especially the more unusual ones - what they were called, who they were by. Not each time. At one point in the gig guitarist Alan would change guitars and, if it was the right kind of crowd, I'd say something like 'There are always people who come to live music who are interested in the gear we use so while Alan is changing guitars I'll just take this opportunity to talk about his stufff. Earlier he was using a cream coloured guitar with two pointy bits and is now changing to a caramel coloured guitar with one pointy bit (pause) It's small details like that can make an evening, I find'. It usually got a titter.

    Dave bought a pedal from me in a super-easy transaction. Hope it does what you want!

    Not necessarily. The case could be dealt with at Magistrates court but referred to Crown court for sentencing if the judge considered he didn't have enough oomph at his disposal. We can live in hope.

    I've had extreme experiences with Royal Mail/Parcel force in September. I have a lot of rare plants in my garden. When I say rare, I mean some are growing nowhere else within these isles. I collect the seed, give it to a lady who runs a nursery and she then lets me have the pick of her stock for my garden. A nice arrangement. I posted off all this year's seed and, after one failed attempt at delivery, Royal Mail say they have lost it. I posted something to Texas, it arrived inside of a week.

    Sterling Bongo? Ernie Bongo's brother? Last I heard he was doing a 5er in Wandsworth for nicking toilet seats. Hang on, wrong thread.🤨

    Sold a Boss wireless kit to Stuart in the most straightforward of deals. A pleasure to do business!

    Price dropped to £80

    Looks like it is the same neck but with 24, not 20, frets so it is unlikely to be any lighter. Boo.
  15. Paul S
    Wow. be interested to know the weight.

    I have someone coming to try it out today so it might not still be available. I'll update the thread if so. Differences, off the top of my head, are a carved body, inset black bridge, inset tuners, brass nut, set neck, black pickup cover. Not sure if the hardware or electrics were any different in terms of quality.
