basskit_case

I purchased the bass from an eBay seller in Switzerland, good price even after the customs and Parcel Force charges. Only problem is the pickup selector is faulty, there is no switch "action", the physical switch moves freely from one side to the other, it never engages. There is also some movement from top to bottom too, not just left and right. The seller has apologised and said that they will cover luthier charges to fix or take the bass back and give me a full refund. I could take to to get it fixed, but as I sit here looking at the bass, I cannot see how the luthier could get decent access to the switch mechanism to fix it. The switching mechanism inside the bass is too big to access through the switch hole in the top of the bass and there is no rear access. I presume they would have to remove a pick up and try and fix it through that hole, which would necessitate a setup as well as extra money for labour. Has anybody had a repair like this, if so how much did it cost to fix? Thanks Mike

Have read good reports of people using the guitar units for bass

[quote name='Mister RLP' timestamp='1454666747' post='2971770'] I like it too. I shouldn't but I do. Mrs RLP doesn't. She doesn't like the shape of any bass. [/quote] :-D

Would be great to see us use google maps to show approx location. Also useful to be able to order by location in for sale thread.

Yes

Simon purchased my Nanyo SB320, he really made it an easy transaction, good communication, quick payment, quick to tell me the bass had arrived on time in good condition. Have no fear about dealing with Simon, top guy. Thanks

Nice. Where did you get it?

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1438422272' post='2834351'] No idea. Mine hasn't done that. It does take a second for the light to come on when you flick on the power switch (just long enough for you to think wtf!) but no flashing [/quote] Thanks Norris, it only happened the first time, since then its been fine. However I bought this "new" from a shop and I wonder if this might be an indicator caused by mis-use in the showroom? Great sounding practice amp, but I think I will swap it for an actual new model, don't want to risk any further problems!

I bought a rumble v3 100, delivered today. When I plugged the combo in, which was already turned on, the power light and overdrive light flashed on and off multiple times and there was no power. This happened multiple times, I then left it for 5 minutes and eventually the combo powered up. Not happened again, any idea what the flashing lights mean?

new to keys, so I took a bit of a punt. Figured it could work as drum machine and for synth effects, but it of course does so much more. Will give it a go in a few weeks when not feeling so rough. Any tips or resources for getting to grips with it? If it's too much to comprehend it will be coming to a marketplace near you soon! :-D

I purchased a Roland JDXI a few weeks back, this could be useful, can even use your guitar to trigger the synths. Not had much of a chance to use it due to illness, hope to change that in the coming weeks.

Hector bought my Zoom H4N. He made it a really easy transaction, quick to pay and quick to tell me the unit arrived safely. Happy to deal with Hector again.
