Will do 👍 -
Body bought from @pluckedout on here a few months back, it has a fast wearing LPB nitro finish that you're either going to love or hate I'd guess. Plays beautifully with (unusually in my experience) a VERY nice Mighty Mite Precision neck which I suspect has had some work round edges and dressing frets. It has a nice retro feel and with flats a nice retro tone also. Fender US 62RI PUP, lovely Gotoh lollipops also 👍 I've overspent on some building work or this would be going nowhere. A few other rather nice Fender-alikes will be wandering onto the market over the next few days for the same reason I'll post more detailed pics at the weekend No trades, price is firm. Thanks. I have several decent boxes so can courier at costs although I'd prefer collection or meet up (I'm in Whitstable but get to London regularly). I'll post some more detailed pics at the weekend with covers off etc 👍 BTW in the flesh it has a slightly more LPB tint, it doesn't look quite this blue!

Enfield Fusion Jazz body with 2xQuad PUPs, Badass, 3-band Glockenlang EQ with various push/pull options also and Fender neck. Neck is an MIJ 75RI of the older type with S/N on the headstock. If you want a versatile bass, this does everything from Flea BSSM era to Flea Stadium Acadium era, to Jamerson, to Stanley Clarke, to Bernard Edwards, to..... I could make this simpler by saying that if they played a Precision, a Jazz or a 'Ray, this bass can probably do it! I've overspent on some building work or this would be going nowhere (but hey I have two Enfields, so I can console myself with the other which is my keeper FL).

Number 5 absolutely reflects my sentiment also. Number 3 is also a fair point. Has 4 happened, I thought not?
-
Not exactly obscure small banks then? Hope this all works out for you @theplumber, and glad it wasn't a stupid amount of money if it doesn't
-
Who do you bank with and which bank was the payment going to? Feel free to decline to answer of course 👍
-
Which it now is
-
£7000 for a Gibson bass, should be in the memes thread 👍
-
Used to (and will again soon when I start gigging again). As long as you’re in tune no-one should notice unless you want them to. I find fretless easier than fretted these days
-
They can do, depends on the bank, I have to send payments to a builder and it's very slow and makes me nervous as hell each time I do it, hence my interest in this thread as we also had a glitch a few weeks back, although it transpired that it's the result of the two banks having multiple checks. I always screen shot every stage, although i wonder how much use that would be if there was ever a major problem as the bank could probably simply dispute the integrity of them, but it's probably better than nothing. A couple of friends have lost large amounts, one through trusting a process that he - or more correctly his wife - was duped into but very very cleverly so, the other through something not dissimilar to what your case appeared to be at first sight, bank account details that appeared to be paying one person when they were paying another. He made the mistake of ignoring the notice on the screen telling him he should only go ahead with the payment if he was sure.

This is her way of blocking your bass purchases mate
-
Apologies for asking (but hey, you did start the thread), and just to be clear, your wife made the payment, you weren't with her when she made it, you just checked the details after the fact?
-
That's a good question 👍
-
That’s how I see it, a few folks above appear to know what’s going on but are being a little opaque, could someone just explain in simple language what has happened? My spidey senses were pricked by the ‘sellers’ inability to take PayPal which of course would have facilitated an easy refund. But who knows…..
-
So how does that work then @TimR, is the scam on the bank side or on the seller side? I checked out APP yesterday - largely because I'm about to transfer a not insignificant amount of cash - and it didn't seem to align with the OP's account, but I may have missed something?

NOW ON HOLD!! Mesa Subway TT-800 - *SOLD*

That will make someone very happy, sadly it won’t be me 😕 -
I’m confused 🤔
-
If that is what happened, you should 100% be going to the media with it, as it suggests that one of the banks, or I'd guess someone working at one of the banks, has placed a divert on either your's or the seller's account and that the bank are hiding the fact (and I assume had you not checked the transfer - which could be the case with many payments - you'd never have known you'd lost money)? But given how easy all these things are to trace, I can't believe that's what's happened?
-
IIRC a trusted member on here had their account hacked a few weeks back, I wasn't suggesting a trusted member had gone rogue.
-
'Problem' with PayPal account followed by a diversion of the bank transfer, the coincidences are mounting
-
It's funny how cash with all the inherent risks is viewed through such rose-tinted glasses these days; inconvenience, risk of fake cash, haggling, even muggings! I'm very happy with PayPal thanks 👍
-
And no, bank transfer is not the safest way to transfer money, or at least not always, which is why I tend to pay by PayPal whenever possible. Either way, hope this works out for you 👍
-
This is an odd one, it doesn't sound like a authorised push payment scam though? If you and your wife both verified the account details when you made the payment, and if the funds then went to a different account, whatever happened must be either an error by the bank or something to do with the recipient's account?
-
Oh shot just saw the price, OK that’s laughable for a noname bitsa 🤔
-
It’s not an original Fender but I quite like it 👍
