[quote name='mathewsanchez' post='368587' date='Jan 2 2009, 04:32 PM']Anyone know the seller?[/quote] What's there to know ? - He signed up on 29 Dec 08 and has zero feedback. Doesn't appear to be offering cash on collection either

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='367918' date='Jan 1 2009, 06:10 PM']I'm a frequent visitor darn sarf (Wokingham) - next time I'm down your way I'll let you know. [/quote] Cetra - just make sure you count your Spectors when he's leaving

[quote name='molan' post='367015' date='Dec 31 2008, 12:55 PM']One of the things I remember about this show was that it was the first time I was able to watch something on TV, see that there was a recorded version available, log on to the internet on a 14.4 modem & buy it from Amazon. It was delivered within 48 hours and the whole process was painless. At the time it seemed amazing but of course it's now everyday stuff.[/quote] I still dream of getting something from Amazon within 48 hours.....

[quote name='Linus27' post='366785' date='Dec 31 2008, 01:00 AM']They have a red 4 string musicman stingray for 699. Do you think this is new, genuine and in stock? It says available on the website.[/quote] If you are interested in that one i would suggest you phone and check availability (not buy off the website). Use the phone number on the website not a branch number

Welcome back fella - did notice that you hadn't been posting for a while....

I preferred Machinehead's version posted here back in July [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=23026&hl=wal"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=23026&hl=wal[/url]

I think it's Anthony Jackson

[quote name='Shockwave' post='363315' date='Dec 25 2008, 01:08 PM']Good news everyone i got my money back [/quote] Glad to hear your money has been refunded P

[quote name='tombboy' post='363035' date='Dec 24 2008, 07:09 PM']Just the same as displaying goods in a shop marked up wrong.... you get them for the price marked![/quote] Never been my understanding of this situation - always heard that a price in a shop window was not binding on the shop owner. No idea how it works on web sales - in this case the transaction has been completed other than the retailer dispatching the goods

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='362920' date='Dec 24 2008, 04:10 PM']I'm a member but rarely contribute. I just use it to bone up on certain aspects of our preferred instrument or to gauge opinions on equipment and I'm pleased to report that having done so on a regular basis, I now know that all basses and bass rigs are ..."killer" and "awesome" and...(reaches for bucket)..."sweeeeeet" - very helpful [/quote] Al, you forgot 'Kicks Ass'

Must admit I regret posting the link now... If they had listed the Ray5 in the 'Cearance' section - where they just list a store location and a phone number, instead of the main web based sales section, this situation would have been avoided. At worst would there would have been a few wasted phone calls.

I've found these guys in the US to be very good, though admit the fx rate was a lot better when I last ordered - still looks like two 4 tring sets of Hi-Beams would work out at £19 each delivered. They don't have a huge range though they are some good prices: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26353&hl=platypus+dr"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...;hl=platypus+dr[/url] Don't know how this compares to the ebay sellers Oh yes, and some good prices for Ken Smith strings too..

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='361387' date='Dec 22 2008, 08:49 PM']Does anyone know if they'll ship to your house from their stores? I.E. if I wanted something from the Glasgow store, would they ship it to my house? EDIT: I'm not after that Streamer $$ BTW I'm after something much much cheaper :brow:[/quote] Ben, On the front page of the ad, it says free shipping on anything over £100 In there last big Reverb sale in Aug/Sept, I bought a US Spector 5 and they charged £10 for next day delivery

[quote name='Beedster' post='361382' date='Dec 22 2008, 08:45 PM']Given what the finance guys are predicting in relation to businesses going under, nothing would persuade me to part with a large amount of money to an online dealer at the moment, and the extreme cheapness of the items above would only make me even more cautious [/quote] You telling us you'd sooner deal with a Basschatter

Just received an email form Reverb about their sale and their appear to be a few real bargins: Stingray 5 in white £499 [url="http://www.reverb-store.co.uk/product-list.asp?cat3=95"]http://www.reverb-store.co.uk/product-list.asp?cat3=95[/url] and in the clearence section... Lakland DJ 5 £699 Lakland DJ4 £699 LAKLAND OSBORNE 4 RW 3TSB £699 Don't know anything about Warwick, though I think this is cheap:) WARWIC VAMPYRE SN 4 BK H-POLIS £499 WARWICK STREAM DBL BUCK 4 NAT £499 [url="http://www.reverb-store.co.uk/clearance.asp"]http://www.reverb-store.co.uk/clearance.asp[/url] Anyone would think it was Christmas...

Nice playin fella ! made me smile

[quote name='d-basser' post='357417' date='Dec 17 2008, 11:09 PM']can I join your elite club:[/quote] Fantastic bass you got there - just picked it up tonight? P

[quote name='Golchen' post='356360' date='Dec 16 2008, 08:39 PM']That looks some bass for the price!!!!! I'd be a bit wary of just sending money that far though.[/quote] Well D-basser and the seller are both in Glasgow and the add says "Cash and Collection only" what's the worst that can happen?

[quote name='d-basser' post='356223' date='Dec 16 2008, 05:41 PM']ssshhhhh i am going to buy this when the guy gets my email. I got dibs[/quote] Snap his hand off, mate

Thanks for that Alun, well worth the £3 cost P

[quote name='Mike Brooks' post='350102' date='Dec 9 2008, 07:19 PM']Is it me or does it seem that those of us that managed to get basses through Reverb in August got bloody great deals! The more I hear and read, the better it seems! Mike[/quote] Not wrong, I got myself a cracking US made NS5 XL, in Quilted Maple, thanks to this tread - reminds me, I said I'd get some photo's up here...... P
