there was a fretless bass shown tother day Sandberg Cali - light pau ferro board... with lines at the fret along the neck edge, just wrapping over, with dots in between... best of both worlds? I'm waiting for one with notes written on the fretboard!

dunno about 'bangers' but The Proclaimers and Run Rig were quite popular some time back...

B3n £90 in 'Bargain Pedal Clearout' halfway house between multi effects and single pedals?

Cheap Zoom B1Four in the FS... Or i've got a Chorus FS cheap.. now £12 UK posted

Seen 'Nine Below Zero' do a crackin' version of this...

Frustrated and Anxious, but hopeful for some good news by the 7th july. I'd get the refund stuff in hand if time restraints to claims etc. but be ever hopeful it arrives.

and can't beat a bit of 'Keytar' for the stage..

Already got a guitarist? even if not... Go Keys for added versatility and a more natural space for all in the soundscape... Was listening to some early 80's Alice Cooper Flush the Fashion and Special Forces, Punky abrupt keys nice change from twin guitars.

Alice Cooper - Flush the Fashion & Special Forces... (Early 80's Electronic / Punky stuff... after the 70's Rock and before the awful Late 80's onwards Metal)

#2 Neck Knot... Back it goes... Advise on #1, and get em to check #3 if sending a replacement, posibly down to the style of the big plate bridge.

An expensive one...

Very nice modern take on a classic... Looks are mighty fine...

not a knot or fault, just colour.. woody-wood provides a nice contrast to solid colour but if GG are happy to swap.. maybe worth a vist to see the others? I'd go and look rather than photos, bass might feel diferent..

Nice... custom decal? how about 'Fretless' in the you-know-who-font...

I thought the thread was about a Fender P but with an Encore Decal... 😀

How Do... loads of 'Good' on here... Can we expect a pic of the bass... and with that username possibly some pics in Basschat Cats?

I'd be starting the dispute as a bit of insurance in case or radio silence... can alway stop when resolved. Consider sending it back then make a cheaky offer? Or I'd be looking on £100 back (10% - 15%) to potentialy meet half the £200ish refin cost?... Then its for you to decide what ya do... like ya mentioned a bit of DIY with the Wet 'n Dry... And as long as ya happy and not making do... Good Stuff

Ibanez GSR20M Mikro PJ (Modern-ish)... Squier Mini P (Classic)... Jackson Minion PJ (Rock)... all about £150ish

Off to listen to 'Pump It Up' and that Fab Bass Line in 'I Don't Want to go to Chelsea'.... Twas more Gtr growing up... but same bands, Hawkwind & Motorhead (Lemmy) Zep (JPJ) Budgie (Burke)... Stranglers (JJB) Black Uhuru (S&R, cos ya cant have one without the other can you... wouldnt be right) as mentioned liking the band and music, and how it makes ya feel.

£50... Did you look to buy a 'that will do' bass? If offered that one at £50 off or one without the damage for what you paid, which one would you take? Not sure what it went for £700ish?... i'd be wanting a £100 back, or they can derrière about and come and get it. They should be on the backfoot, don't make do, look out for what ya deserve, or ya may be a bit 'if only' dont make do with ya hard earned.

I'd be starting with a return at full refund... See if they would like to get the issues addressed... Or them to start the ball rolling re-assessing the value. I'd be getting em to arrange to collect it... otherwise they are less likely to be forthcoming..

New Amp?

Howzabout a proper tilt back amp stand? I've got one of these... https://www.gatorframeworks.com/products/combo-amp-stand-gfw-gtr-amp/ In my old Gtr days, and the odd occasion the 'lil combo comes out to play and i cant be arsed with the amp stand, i have a strip of wood that i tuck under the front edge... the one for my old Gtr amp had a couple of bore holes to locate the front amp feet... careful though as some amps want to go overbackwards at the slightest elevation, and are better chocked from the top at the back.
