Guest McBass Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Funny this guy withdrew the bass for sale because he never owned it....i now own it, it's a keeper unless i want to sell it to buy a Wal fretless.

FuNkShUi Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'm guessing you're the person who actually won it in the auction? So jfader was trying to sell it before he had it? I'm not calling anyone out by the way, I'm just trying to understand the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kulit17 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) wow that's terrible!! first the guy shoots for the moon selling a bass and the guy never had possession of it!! that's definitely shows poor character right there. i'd be surprised and hope that everyone would be wary if he ever thinks of selling anything on BC again. @McBass got any new pics of the bass? only pics i saw of it is the ones on the old Wal registry and glimpses of the auction site. Bass seems to be elusive as Moby. Edited December 19, 2014 by kulit17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 What made it even worse was the fact the bass originally sold for something like £1,500 and was advertised on here for £3,500 before they'd even paid for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should a mod be looking at this then? We know the sale price was £2000 less than the asking price which is just bad form but not against rules, listing items you dont own is so id suggest a nuking of the account in 5...4....3......2.....

Clarky Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) The final post on that Wal FS thread said Posted 01 December 2014 - 08:56 PM "Decided not to sell this. It's a great bass despite the colour. Nothing a bit of gaffer tape can't cover up for a while... " Porky pie of the highest order, sorry but this guy needs to give a better explanation of his actions or be chucked out of BassChat in my view Edited December 19, 2014 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
