neepheid Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 If you don't ask, you don't get. There have been many occasions when I have asked if they would be willing to package it up and they've said yes, this "it doesn't have a hard case" stuff is bogus - if it's well packed then it won't be a problem. If it's well packed then that's what insurance is for. Failing that, if they still insist on local collection you could always ask on here if someone could pick it up on your behalf. Many here would do that for a few beer tokens, I know I would (not that there's anything worth bothering with up here, apart from an ultra rare Guild B402-A ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Bremen mailed me with just such a generous offer to pick it up and drop it off when he comes past in a fortnight. He's a star. Meanwhile, I have just got lucky and agreed a deal on a Schroeder 410BMF, so no punts on anything for several months now . Aye, right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelagnostic Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I've just bought this Godin! Luckily a friend of mine was in the area so he could collect - I won't see it in the flesh though until the weekend. This will be my 3rd Godin bass and certainly the cheapest. My mate who collected it says its in great condition. The price for a Canadian parts US assembled bass made it a no-brainer; I don't understand why their resale value is so low. Same for some of the US Peaveys too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1946 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Missed this, I recently bought a Godin electric guitar off here and it's stunning! I'd love a bassthough and that one was a steal. :bummer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that the body shape made it a bit of a neck-diver, and ended up putting the neck and hardware onto a Precision body, and it's still my main bass today.
