[quote name='Johnston' post='731008' date='Jan 31 2010, 08:03 PM']I must have weird tastes in basses. The dearest bass I've bought was the epi T-bird at £270 despite playing every bass in the shop it was the only one I liked including fenders, 'rays and warwicks. Was out looking on Saturday played a real lovely looking squire jazz, natural finish, block inlays loved the look hated the feel. None of the expensive stuff tickled the eyeballs. The only bass I was tempted to buy was the Epi EB-0 from the starter pack. So tempted to order one online without the pack for a wallet busting £130. I can't imagine paying £900 for a bass mainly because I've seen one I liked !!![/quote] It's all subjective, I had a T bird once, loved the sound,loved the look,hated the feel especially the neck dive. I am paying £900 as I have just sold my 1974 Jazz after 22 years of ownership. It got too valuable to gig. This next bass will probably be the last I buy, so £900 over probably 15 years more playing before retirement (if God spares me) doesn't work out that much ( a lttle over £1 /week).

They still have the bass of my dreams in at this moment, and I still have my £900. They are some fantastic basses in Bass Chat at this moment, but none of them are exactly what my heart desires, sad but true. I will eventually weaken and find they sold it an hour before! That's because I am a pillock.

Thanks for technical services rendered Dandelion. Also to you other guys . It certainly opens up a field of thought. Wonder if the pick ups are Geddies.

Sorry folks, don't know how to post a link. Anybody looking for a Geddy might want to have a look at the hybrid on ebay, it's blue and should come with a lust warning.

[quote name='johnzgerman' post='727618' date='Jan 28 2010, 02:16 PM']so now they keep several million payments on hold for 3 weeks or until positive feedback is left and make a quite a few extra squid for themselves in interest payments, sweet.[/quote] Absol***INGlutely bang spot on. At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask! It really is time the Monopolies Commission took a look at these. I got screwed for £70 fees last year on a £45O sale. Grrrrr.

Mergins !!!! Is there a spell checker on here, cos by gum I need one! Cheers Pete Academy.

And finally, (ref 2 posts back) Gary was a great GUY to deal with, not a great gut!!! When will I ever learn to keep my gob shut!

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='724842' date='Jan 26 2010, 08:58 AM']I'm sorry but I can't believe you expected the shop to just knock almost £100 off just because you'd travelled a fair distance. 'That's what you are gonna get boys'? I'm not surprised they refused with that attitude.[/quote] Hiya, sorry I was just responding to a previous comment when I noticed this. I didnt expect them to knock almost £100 off. Distance is my responsibilty, my choice, not theirs. I asked for a deal, for £69 off for cash, no part ex/no credit card charges. They said no. I don't think I have disrespected them in anyway. If I have I apologise unreservedly. "Thats what you are gonna get boys" was never said to anybody but my own mind, as a mental reminder to myself to stay within budget. Sorry if this is coming across all wrong, all I wanted to do was share a disapointing experience that was mainly of my own making. Perhaps if I had had the sense to have a little extra cash, or my credit card I would have that wonderful bass. Perhaps somebody else might learn from my mistake. Finally I am writing this as I await an urgent delivery for my own business and every hour is costing me money. I am very much aware of mergins.
