AndyTravis Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 wow. never. ever. seen one. I would have walked to Edinburgh for that. Made famous on the 'Graceland' album. £99!? Bloody Hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't occur to me to reserve it 20 minutes before they shut. I vaguely know some of the guys who work there - I suspect if I strolled in tomorrow & offered them £150 for it they'd happily sell it to me. But I won't do that, because I'm not an utter ignorant c@nt. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parker_muse Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Feel for you Bassassin. That was a pretty sh*tty thing to do. At least you've got those rickenfakers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm261 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 ^ Agreed, not particularly respectable behaviour there.

I mean, to be honest, if I were you I'd probably go down and get it anyway, as I wouldn't feel much like showing such courtesy to someone who has made a point of showing you none, but fair play to you for sticking to the moral way of conducting yourself. I was surprised to see this sort of behaviour from someone who's been a member for so long, it's normally something that you'd expect out of the newbies, just goes to show.

Bassassin Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Cheers for the support chaps - I've had a few PMs about this as well. However I think it's time to drop it - I have an easy come, easy go outlook about this sort of thing and I missed out this time, that's all. It's not worth getting hacked off over - there have been enough raised hackles on BC in the last few weeks already so let's chill about this. Hope BIA gets the bass safe & sound & posts some pics.

Bassassin Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I'm still incredulous at this, as if it's not bizarre enough two of them turning up within the space of a couple of days, the prices for both were ridiculous. Andy - if I don't get on with it, it's yours. And I won't double the price, either! J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whole thing's ended up brilliantly and even if that SB40 hadn't turned up, I had no ill-feeling about what happened. Either way, I'm really glad you posted it in the first place. J.

That is such a bargain for a nice piece of kit. Good score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
