Okay psycho.

So I've just happen to be unlucky with ALL my experiences then? You must be one of these guys who calls himself a "luthier" then since it seems to bother you so much. The thing that annoys me are what "luthiers" are doing to people and came to advise people not to use not only the gallery but other "luthiers" if they do not want to get ripped off, if you enjoy being ripped off then you can do that since you enjoy it so much. You also seem determined to make me angry because you insist that I am angry and then spin the "bringing up old thread" routine to try and make me feel like I've did something wrong because there is nothing else you can cling onto. This didn't work either so I can return the favour with "maybe you should try harder" Show me where I said that I hated everybody then. Then your insinuation at the very end does not help your case at all and it clearly shows that you are manipulative as it's on record by everything that you have typed out.

Psycho.

Psycho.

The only person on here who is trying to understand the situation has been rushbo whereas everybody else: Woodinblack, rmorris, Rich, Ped, Supernaut have did nothing nothing but jab at the situation because they are hoping that it make me angry at what they are doing, which makes them all psychopaths. Psychopaths go around looking to annoy others because they get joy from seeing others suffer in whatever way they can, it is more satisfying when they are causing it but also enjoy to see people suffer to any degree when they are not the cause of it, they will band together supporting each other to help hurt the person and then claim innocence when pulled up on it. Just once from the gallery but that's all it's going to take, my other experiences have been from different "luthiers" from different countries including where I live so I have went to more than one "luthier" and have now come to the conclusion that they are all con men. If this was any other situation like car mechanic/builder/plumber/electrician I would be told "Why would yo go back to the same guy if he conned you the first time?" why would I change what way I would think about "repair" people just because they "repair" basses/guitars unless there are "luthiers" on here who are annoyed that I'm highlighting what they are like? I have went to multiple people and it is based on actual experience because I am not going to want to go around hating something without a reason, it just wouldn't be a good idea.

Quite interesting to see how you people like to put people down when you come across someone's view that doesn't fit your own viewpoint, I think this is a sign of psychopathy because instead of having a conversation about it you resorted to patronising by saying "most ridiculous thing I have read on here." It's clear as day that you have set out to put someone down just by someone pointing out their experience by "luthiers" and then giving other people some advice as how to save their time and their money to avoid going to those kinds of people, so this must of struck a nerve with you guys who must be "luthiers". I have selected that Ibanez bass bass because I have heard it, looked at how much it weighs and noticed that it has stainless steel frets. I just thought maybe they would spend more time on the frets because they are harder than standard material frets, I THINK. This of course is just a thought and I can not say with 100% certainty that this will be the case, but you people have commented about how "ridiculous" this idea was instead of pointing out what was wrong with what I said. When someone is paying £1349 for a bass, it is ridiculous to think that someone should have to pay for a "luthier" to level the frets no matter what material they are made out of, but if you want to do that then you are more than welcome to do that you can go to your favourite "luthier" and have them do that for you, maybe he is as psychotic as you are.

Well, with frets being made of stainless steel they should be spending more time on them to make sure that they are level because they are harder than standard frets, that's why it's relevant.

"????" Something wrong? You just typed in question marks without saying what you wanted to say.

The problem is the people who setup your bass did not do it properly, just like everybody else who sets up basses and guitars. I can't give too many details about it, I PAID for them to level my frets and to do a few other things to my bass, was very surprised to get an email a few days later to say that all the work has been done which I thought was odd if they are so busy how can it all be ready to go in a matter of days? They sent the bass back to me with frets not levelled properly and didn't even crown them along steel wool sticking to the pickups, all the positive reviews about that place are all fake and it seems that people seem to have a heard mentality about the place being "great" and never question the fact that they do not NOT do things properly. Best advice I can give is to never buy a bass online unless they have a return policy so you can send it straight back to them if they send you a bass with un-level frets, which is exactly what I'm going to do when I buy a Ibanez EHB1505 from gear4music. They have a free returns policy, so if I order a bass that has un-level frets after paying £1349? I'll send it STRAIGHT back because charging that amount of money for a bass with un-level frets is utterly unjustifiable, since it has stainless steel frets they would need to be making sure that they are level before leaving the factory. "Luthiers" are the cowboys of the instrument world.
