    Fender P-Bass s/plate - Problems but no refund from Absolute Guitars in Bristol.

    Hmmm not sure you've got a leg to stand on as you attempted to repair it, but then again, the plate doesn't fit so it not fit for purpose. Have a look at this....

    Sale of Goods to a Consumer
    In England and Wales the sale of goods is governed by the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended by the Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994 and the Sale of Goods (Amendment) Act 1995 ("SGA 1979").
    Duties of the Parties

    It is the duty of the seller to deliver the goods and of a buyer to accept and pay for them in accordance with the terms of the contract. Thus the seller must be ready and willing to give possession of the goods in exchange for the purchase price and the buyer must be ready and willing to pay for the goods. These duties are fundamental and failure by either party to perform them allows the innocent party to cancel the contract and sue for damages. The duties of the parties are further defined by the terms of the contract and terms, which can be implied by law.
    Contractual Terms

    Express terms, are oral or written terms agreed between the parties. Often express terms are a seller's standard Terms and Conditions, which are incorporated into contracts for the sale of goods. In consumer sales, should a Company wish to rely on their standard terms and conditions, they should ensure that these are brought to the buyer's attention, agreed (in particular if they are onerous to the buyer) and are reasonable.
    Implied Terms

    Implied into all contracts for the sale of goods whether the normal purchase from a retailer by the consumer or within commercial sales are the following terms:
    •That the seller has the right to sell the goods and that they are free from encumbrances or charges and that the buyer will enjoy quiet possession.
    •That the goods will correspond to their description.
    •That the goods will be of satisfactory quality
    •That where the buyer makes known the purpose of the purchase, that the goods will be fit for that purpose - or fit for the normal purpose.
    •That where goods are sold by sample, they will comply with that sample.
    All the above are classed as conditions and any breach of them, for example, in the sale of defective goods, would amount to a fundamental breach of contract and could entitle the purchaser to reject the goods and seek reimbursement of the purchase price or claim damages.

    Sellers Duties and Buyers Remedies

    Sellers Duties

    •Transfer possession by delivering goods in accordance with the terms of the contract i.e. on time and at the place agreed or if no agreement, at the sellers place of business and at a reasonable time.
    •Sell satisfactory quality goods, which are fit for the purpose that they were purchased for.
    •Sell goods, which correspond with their description or the sample used.
    Buyer's Remedies

    Should the seller fail to comply with his duties either those expressly stated or implied by law, the Buyer would have a right to recourse. The remedies available and set out below are in addition to any remedies they may have been provided by a commercial guarantee or warranties.
    •Rejection and termination of the contract.
    •Damages.
    •Refusal to perform own obligations.
    •Specific performance of sellers obligations.
    It should be noted that the duties and remedies can differ from case to case. The rejection of goods and termination of the contract, thereby entitling a reimbursement of the purchase price paid is only available in certain cases and can be lost due to a number of intervening events. This would leave the buyer with only a remedy in damages.

    Red Light Fever

    I've just got home from a long days recording. I'd never heard the track before and the writer didn't really have much of a clue for a bassline. We have a few run throughs and I come up with something half decent that the guy's really pleased with. Another few run throughs and it's really cooking. The drummer and the guitarist are warmed up nicely, the scene is set, we're all ready to go. And then, the 'record' button gets pushed, red light on, and I just couldn't get my act together. five takes and not a single one without some silly mistake.

    The producer and the writer are really happy and can edit a decent take together but I'm not happy with myself. I've over played in places and in others I've played unnecessary fills all due to red light fever.

    Anyone else suffer from this affliction?

    For those of you with Spotify, here she is making a somewhat pedestrian track by Joshua Redman, groove! I love the way she pulls the beat.

    Was our 'gig etiquette' really that bad?

    under 10 mins-I've done it.
    And when most original nights that I've done usually have about a 15 min or so change over time,there is
    plenty of time to change over.[/quote]

    There might be the time but not always the room, unless you pack up your gear and get it out into cars/van the very instant you stop playing. Then you have to either take it home or hang around outside with your beer to stand guard over it all. Personally I like to hang out after a gig and have a pint with the people who've bothered to turn up to see us play. As I said I've never had a problem with other players using my gear and I've never had an issue with others letting me use theirs, it's the done thing down here in Bristol and helps to foster a community spirit amongst the muso's.
