[b]Be very careful when using Interparcel[/b]; they have a nasty little 'get out clause' for non delivery using next day 'Premium' service. Don't make the mistake I made when sending a Bass from Reading to Aberdeen using Interparcel Premium Service, thinking that they would fall under "most of UK mainland", apparently Reading and Aberdeen don't fall in this category and they would have told me this if I'd called them after they had accepted the booking and money - silly me . From Interparcel web site: [b]Interparcel Premium[/b] Guaranteed collection on the date you choose, or your money back. [b]Delivery is guaranteed by end of next working day after collection to [color="#0000FF"]most of UK mainland[/color], or your money back.[/b] This service is delivered by UPS. Perhaps if Interparcel added a note to the 'Premium Service' eg. [i]We'll accept your booking and money but if you don't call us and make sure that the shipping point and destination point fall under what we deem as "most of UK mainland" we will not deliver the next day and we defiantly won't give you your money back. We will however blame you for not calling us and UPS who act as our courier for any late delivery - thank you, now give us your money cos that's all were interested in[/i] . My recommendation would be not to use this company, I'm still trying very hard to believe that they think Reading and Aberdeen are not major centres and don't fall under 'most of UK mainland', must be an age thing .

A pleasure to do business with you Oggy, you'll know that it's went to a good home Another great sale through Basschat Bass regards Andy[/quote] Thank you for your kind words Andy, appreciated. I have to say that '[i][b]less than professional service[/b][/i]' from Interparcel couriers didn't do either of us any favours, would I use them again? Think not. Anyway, all's well that ends well and I'm pleased that your pleased - enjoy her and look after her - I know you will. Tim

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='1020984' date='Nov 12 2010, 08:45 AM']How about a sunburst f*** All in mint condition?[/quote] I've been looking all over for one of these, what scale is it? Oggy -------------

Evening All, I've had three (Swap - P/X) offers so far, number one a [b]USA Fender Mustang vintage one from the 70's[/b] - very very very tempted but already have a CIJ Mustang that I love, number two an [b]Alembic 32"[/b] - again very tempted but it's a tad on the heavy side for me +/- 10lbs (I know, wimp), number three a [b]Shuker 34"[/b] - very nice Bass I'd love to own it but my fingers won't let me - Agggggggggg-rthritis. [size=4][b]HELP[/b][/size] - Anyone out there with a 32" scale they're looking to Swap or P/X???????? The poor Gibson is languishing in it's case under the bed again, won't someone give this beauty a home and some much needed playing time. Oggy

[quote name='jwlkr' post='1015558' date='Nov 7 2010, 07:07 PM']im actually in love dont have the money to afford it but if i did i would bite your arm off for it. [/quote] Hi jwlkr, I know that feeling , just how I felt when I first saw one of these being used by the Bassist / Vocalist in the Yardbirds, then it took me a year to track a new one down. You can imagine how gutted I was when I found it too heavy for me plus the 34” scale aggravated the arthritis in my left hand . Oggy [b]News flash from my work colleague:- Six out of seven dwarfs are not Happy, [/b] well I thought it was funny, my Missus didn't .

Anyone out there with a [b][size=4]Fender Stu Hamm Urge or a Landing 32" Scale[/size][/b] - a P/X or swap could be on the cards? I know, both rare as rocking horse Doo Doo, but it's worth a try . The Gibson Les Paul Bass on offer really is in showroom condition, anyone who was at the London Bass Bash this year would tell you. Oggy

Bump - for [size=4][b]price reduction[/b][/size], I think this is a sensible price for a 'Gibson Les Paul Standard Bass' in this condition. She's gotta go chaps, I can't justify keeping this under the bed any longer. I need to put the cash into something I can play. I'm also up for a P/X or Swap for an up-market Medium or Short scale bass, preferably a Medium scale - I have two short scale basses but would really like to add a 32" to the collection. PM me if you're interested, thanks for looking Oggy
