warwickhunt Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 He says that the G string tuner works the opposite to the others! Anyone else care to tell him why?

Chopthebass Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ooops! Bless him. Someone needs to tell him!! Nice bass though. Almost bought a 5-string version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 ha ha ha To be fair, he's covered all bases with his photos. He even shows you what the bass would look like if you took it down a coal mine. How thoughtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there no one on his course that could have a word[/quote] They don't make 'em like they used to. But that [i]is[/i] ever so slightly embarassing considering the bass he's selling. Also... one more little thing. The picture seems to me that it has a Just-A-Nut II, but the seller must have just copied a recent description as it refers to the JAN III. But now I'm just being nit-picky. lol Edited January 21, 2008 by s_u_y_* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjf1969 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 He has amended his advert now to say the tuner is still "weird" even when he takes the string off!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 He could have explained a bit clearer that the tuner is sh*gged and that's the only way that you can string it! I've emailed him pointing out that a brand new tuner is £6 + P&P direct from Warwick. A salutory warning to other sellers; replacing one duff tuner may well add more on to the value and get a lot more interested buyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I messaged him. Here's what he said [quote name='Stupid Ebayer' post='125486' date='Jan 22 2008, 03:06 PM']Thanks but this doesn't seem to be the case as even with the string off and the tuner been rewound plenty of times, after a few times going the other way (right way)it gets stiff then stuck.[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalMan Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Do you think one of his tutors told him to take down the photo with the ACM bag in it? It seems to have disappeared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
