Last night was my first gig with my new (well, all new to me but all bits 6 years old) rig. 2 EBS NEO 212's and an EBS TD650 head. All much bigger than the mini power rigs I've gigged for the last couple of years. What a sound, what a difference. Absolutely adored it, great punch, clarity and much idiotic grinning. It's a compromise of course. I would love the 8 x 10's, as much as I would love the roadie and pantechnicon to go with them . Karl.

Many thanks Gary. The gentleman in question has just tried similar tactics with a prominent member of the forum. That prominent member, being wiser than me, has cancelled the deal. I may be out of order, but judging from Mr. Piotrowski's wanted adverts, and the number of basses he is showing on gear porn, he may be a dealer of some description. The Kasuga he bought off me now appears to be sporting a white scratchplate and pick up surround as well as replacement pick up selector toggle.

Unbelievable . RIP, joybringer. Karl.

I once took this bass... ... and turned it into this bass (same neck and body) and yes that's a Fender decal.... I'm ready for my punishment.

Humbling guys, thank you .

I never took it apart. Fine, if that's plywood, it's plywood. I obviously assumed wrongly. Send it back to me.

[quote name='Mathew Piotrowski' timestamp='1335343382' post='1629419'] I have bought a rick copy from this guy, and everything was fine, great contact, quick shipping and i even recieved some extras. There is one issue - he told me that this is solid body but this is plywood. I gently informed him about it that i wouldn't pay that much for ply and i think this is not fair, and he became angry and told me to ship it back, and said that he will never send anything outside UK. Why? I SHOULD BE ANGRY not him. I wasted a week waiting or package and now next week waiting for money. I think it would be better and cheaper if he will refund me 50GBP. And i can delete this post earlier. [/quote] Do not delete this post or the 3 PAGES of PM's between us. I can speak for myself and I certainly won't bow to what seems to be thinly veiled blackmail. You say it's plywood, I believe it is not. I am under the understanding that Kasuga never made plywood basses. I have offered you a full refund including the cost of couriering back to me. You have posted in the wanted section for Japanese basses, plural. I know that Rickenbacker copy basses go for the equivalent of 700 Euros in Poland. I wouldn't like to jump to conclusions. I am not surprised that you have decided a £50 refund would solve this matter. It doesn't for me! I have offered you more back than is legally required. Send me the bass back and I will refund if it arrives in the condition I sent it to you. The Mods no doubt will have access to my PM's, if not, I am quite happy to print off, scan and send to them. This is only the second time I have sold anything outside of the UK and Ireland. I can only speak as I find, both of those transactions have been nightmares. And yes, I am upset! Karl Original ebay advert of this very bass. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330680516684"]http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=330680516684[/url] Edit, quote Julius, Facebook, Poland; "I didn't even ask for, just got offer 700€ - in my country it's normal price for Rikenfaker". You got a very good deal. You got a hard case, a Geddy Lee scratchplate and a strap, all thrown in, all not part of the original offer.
