[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1378884976' post='2205875'] ive never yet heard of a punter coming up at a gig and asking to see the back of an instrument to check for buckle rash and if they did would your bass skills diminish in their esteem if your bass was all scabby like? [/quote] My bass skills diminish in their esteem when we do the first number!

[quote name='Stacker' timestamp='1377692511' post='2190410'] VAT is only paid on freight, for some weird reason. Seller got back to me and is happy to avoid the GPP. [/quote] That makes sense because freight on that item is a "new product".

[quote name='cybertect' timestamp='1378851081' post='2205705'] I wish the eBay iPhone and iPad apps would actually show me items located in the UK when I ask for it. Unless Poughkeepsie and Genoa have secretly ceded from their conventional countries to join the United Kingdom, they are failing dismally. [/quote]

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1378852360' post='2205733'] i'm feeling flush, everything, and the kitchen sink [/quote] Flush, groan.

Used wireless for over twenty years, then went back to curly lead, Bullet cable's finest. Stays off the floor, lot of distance available and brings back curly lead memories of my yoof

Love it.! I'm off to Halford's

These lot want more for a second hand one than a new one would cost delivered. No wonder they are too pig ignorant to answer my emailed question. I suppose at least it got them to change the ad from "new other" to "used". Another shop looking for gullible punters [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300962570639&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123"]YAMAHA BB714BS BILLY SHEEHAN SIGNATURE BASS ELECTRIC GUITAR (4-string in black) | eBay[/url]

They seem to be legal contracts that FEEBay absolve most responsiblilty on. I guess the way to push the contract would be through the small claims court. I also guess most people CBA (can't be arsed). bloody spelling again

But if we don't exist, how can it be your Little Pony? How can something that patently does exist, belong to somebody who doesn't? Why does my one brain cell hurt, should I give it back to the wife (she definitely exists )

Aha, Falkirk, I remember, Behind The Wall. Knew it was a daft name.

Can't remember the name. Pub in Falkirk town centre, side road, little pay car park opposite, Very busy pub. Bands play upstairs. Raised stage right next to the bogs entrance. Perfect for drunken numpties to fall UPWARDS onto stage knocking bass players and bass into back wall Or pissed sound engineer in Preston, falling over, knocking two basses out of stands, onto rims of bass drums. A couple of a myriad. I've never damaged any of my basses, there's plenty of other muppets to do it for you

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1378798637' post='2204685'] My useless memory Karl, just visited your feedback page, only to find I commented on it at the time [/quote] Didn't like to say , but I was very grateful for your comments!

So even 20 years ago, they made the odd good one in Mexico then

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1378792708' post='2204638'] That is a worry, didn't occur to me that any of that had gone on here. [/quote] Extremely rare Gary, but it happened to me. See page two of my feedback. He HAS in fairness changed his behaviour since then, but he had negative feedback from me and two others. He also tried to screw Ash, who was much wiser. This guy changed his member name last December, losing his negative feedback. Mine was still on my feedback,still is, despite asking mods to remove his comments. So, yes, rare, but it happens.

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1378790702' post='2204632'] I guess I wouldn't leave feedback cause I don't even know where you'd do it. Here's the thing with feedback though...I find it's either too flattering or too dismissive. In other words, most of it is useless. If someone is easily impressed or someone just wants to knock you down what's to be gained? Few people can critique music objectively, since taste, is subjective. I'll say this about what I heard. It's nice enough. Well perfomred. Professional. Bass playing sounds good. I didn't find it especially captivating, but it's hard to get into music you never heard before. The bass had too much low end. I get that you want it up front but if it's loud and boomy it just sounds amateurish. The kick drum also shared the sonic space of the bass ( a boost around 300hz) and that made things more woofy. It's not the type of thing that's getting record contracts, not to mention the age factor. But at a certain point, music has to be about making art and/or entertaining others. Getting angry because they aren't paying attention isn't the best PR toward getting more fans. That's my feedback. In part. [/quote] Completely missing the point. Feedback is vitally important (especially for gear tarts). People who do not leave it are lazy and discourteous. Negative feedback is also important. The only other thing about it that narks me is con artist members changing their name to get rid of the bad feedback they have had (you know who you are pal ).

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1378740664' post='2204013'] ...Nothing is real. [/quote] So nothing is real, therefore if you were to give me your custom P bass you would be giving me nothing, so I would have to give you nothing for it. So I'll be round in the morning to collect it

When I see Jedson's and original Futuramas going for skywards of £300 I think if somebody buys them they are classic more money than sense. They were crap planks with strings then and definitely won't have got any better. £300 would see me with a good MIM. YES they do exist

If it had been Fiesta Red it would have been me that got it. It wasn't, I didn't!
