Please excuse my ignorance but why do these bows cost so much?

Black,black headstock,tort pickguard pj pickups, rosewood and blockmarkers under 300 notes, looks a deal to me.

Took mine to my guitar lesson the other day. It was much admired by my teacher,gave a lovely sound through his 2x12 Roland amp(black rotosounds)and really didn't believe the price whenI told him. Mine did not come with an allen key for the bridge so does any one know what size it is please.

I can't see what you want to seek compensation for, other than to try and rip off the seller.[/quote] Rather a strong statement that,accusing someone of blatant thievery and not very helpful. Still ,were all entitled to an opinion I suppose. Mistakes may have been made that we can all learn from. Maybe the accusations and counter accusations should be left out leave it now to the involved parties to sort things out.

The implicationn in the ad was that the bass was part of the deal. If the purpose of the case was just for shipping it should have been made clear in the ad. Sorry if i what I'm saying may not be what you want to hear but you did ask for opinions and thats mine. In my opinion thats a pretty irresponsible bit of packing. Live and learn as they say,you'll know better next time. I'd pay up and grin and bear it.

[quote name='BottomE' post='1116228' date='Feb 5 2011, 09:21 AM']The one in the pic is the one it was shipped in.[/quote] If thats the case then you really shouldn't have any problems. Item supplied exactly as described and at a good price too. If I was the buyer I would be more than happy. Shame about the hassle. Hope it gets resolved without tears. Does seem as though he's trying it on.

[quote name='BottomE' post='1113719' date='Feb 3 2011, 12:16 PM']The listing said that "the bass will be shipped in a hard case." That is the only mention of the case in the listing.[/quote] You said in your listing the bass comes in ITS case which will be included. Your photo shows a really nice case which implies that is the case it s coming in. If however you shipped it out in an adequate but dog of a case then I would side with the buyer and its understandable that he's a tad miffed and expecting some financial recompense or the case it was implied the bass would be shipped in.

Well,it looks like a very nice case,so what was his problem?

Just put the black nylons on mine and its bloody lovely,looks well cool too. However I got no gig bag or tools with it so I shall have words tomorrow. Well done to who ever spotted these,a veritable bargain.

[quote name='s1ater' post='1106355' date='Jan 28 2011, 04:13 PM']I went in there today to buy that one... You got there first ended up with the gold les paul copy in the window instead [/quote] I phoned them yesterday morning and apparently they had a white one as well but I got them to stick my name on the blue one and they would have kept it for me till Monday. Still nice guitar and its getting a set of black nylons later this eveningnplus a lowering of the action. I can only repeat what others have said,well worth the dosh. As a matter of interest did they comment about the sudden popularity of their guitars?

Hmmmmmm Have to admit I've been suckered into it as well Picking my Sonic Blue one up from the shop in Rickmansworth tomorrow. Hey ho. Stiil want a red Jaguar mind.

Really pleased to hear that. What a relief. So do you get to shag his Mrs by way of recompense?

If there was a problem then I could see the sense but there doesn't really seem to be a problem. I only joined the forum to buy a bass in the for sale section but have ended up making a few friends on here but in the couple of years or so I've been a member my post count is faily low.

Where was it lost/forgotten and description so basschatters can keep an eye out. Sorry to read this tale of woe by the way.

When you've worked so hard to be that good you can have any expression you like . The guy swings it on the bone as well as the keys,the whole band are swinging and really enjoying the moment. Great performance. Now I must go and practice a little more.
