Legion Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I bought a Fender bass extender from them a few days ago ( only just noticed this thread ) and service was perfect, as well as the fact that I made a nice saving on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_JimBob Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 [quote name='Sibob' post='242569' date='Jul 18 2008, 11:50 AM']BIN's are also only available to people who have feedback over 15? is that right?.....I think its in the pipeline for these guys as soon as that happens. There was no 'bidding' on my item...the price stayed the same![/quote] I'm sure you're correct - it's just i could have sworn they were all BINs when i checked the link out the other day.... I'd better find some junk to sell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_m4a_ebassmechanik.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_m4a_ebassmechanik.htm[/url] That's nothing compared to what they'd like to get for them: [url="http://www.bassguitarpartsdirect.co.uk/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=25&cat=Schallar+2x2+Bass+Machines"]http://www.bassguitarpartsdirect.co.uk/sho...2+Bass+Machines[/url] I appreciate that it's tough to get started, and even tougher to compete against the buying power of a large, well established company.[/quote] Of course the biggest kick in the teeth is that you can buy the Warwick ones direct from the Warwick shop for about £4.50 each (+P&P)!

Dr.Dave Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 [quote name='Rickster' post='242208' date='Jul 17 2008, 10:00 PM']Usually find them going for around £70.00 for chrome.[/quote] I just got a B III from US ebay shop jmimusic for £43 delivered. Took about a week to arrive. That was on 'buy it now' Bass Parts Resource would work out at about a tenner more currently. I'm hoping this place will be able to compete with US shops in the spare parts market but at the mo their starting prices are about the same as US 'buy it now's - so you wait ages for the sale to end and you might not get it at the last minute. Anyway - more competition - good news for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK you have to add on P&P but it's reasonable and if you are buying a whole bunch of stuff then costs are distributed. I'm buying a few bits and bobs next week (grub screws, bridge saddles etc) so I'll let you know what the service is like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
