Well first gig with 5st V7 last night and really pleased with new bass. Played like a dream no issues, also not as heavy after 3hr show (musicman stingray ex bass) loved the range of tones and with the 18v active u get loads of extra boost. We use IEM and my bass cut through nice and clear rest of the band were also impressed and loved the fat bottom b. Sure its just a matter of time before people hook onto to this great bass, just glad i have found a great 5string that works for me.

Hi l adjusted the factory setting to tighten up the low B and sounded great through my gear, guess the next test is upcoming gigs.

[quote name='flyfisher' post='1103323' date='Jan 26 2011, 10:58 AM']Out of interest, how did you pay? This is where credit cards are invaluable. First, even if there are delivery delays, the card should not be charged until the goods are shipped. If they are, then simply notify the card company that you haven't received the goods and they will put the payment on hold. If you never receive the goods you won't have to pay the card company. Second, the Distance Selling Regulations exist specifically because anyone buying something by mail order (or online as it's called these days) is not able to fully examine the goods to determine their fitness for your intended purpose. The regulations therefore give the buyer the legal right to return the goods [u]for whatever reason[/u] and to get a full refund. Again, the credit card is your friend in such cases. All you have to do is return the goods and they should then credit your card. If they do not do this then, again. simply notify the card company and they will put the transaction on hold and refund you any payment you may already have made. I can't imagine ever buying anything online (or pretty much anywhere else) without using a credit card. I pay the monthly statement in full, so I never incur any interest and my current card pays me 1% cashback on everything I spend every month. Protection, convenience and a discount - what's not to like?[/quote] Yep good point, i paid using my bank account visa debit card, silverstone have a online payment link which is not connected to visa or any other reputable company as I did look into that option. Had I known then what I know now i would have used my credit card but hindsight is a wonderful thing... I quoted the Distance selling regulation in my correspondance with Silverstone, not that it has made any difference as they just ignore any communication. Hopefully my small claims action will get a response. Cheers G

There's another thread on the forum with some stories of woe on it. Sorry to hear of your woes, I hope that you get your money back![/quote] Thanks dood, its more the principle of this guy bassicaly ripping off musicians and providing bad service with little communication. No wonder we shop abroad for stuff... G

Hey Fellow Bassists Would like to share my bad experience dealing with Silverston/Shaun Dunk! After buying a cover for my Hartke 4x10 a couple of years ago and upgrading to a Eden Nemsis EN410 XST I ordered a cover back in June 2010 and paid £45. Emails then exhanged to discuss exact dimensions, okay I thought as wanted the cover to fit my cab as it was getting damaged every week in the band van. Finally after emails and phonecalls a cover arrived 29TH AUGUST, the label on the inside of the cover stated NC410 and of course did not fit my cab!! Whilst waiting for the cover to arrive i sent several emails stating i wanted to cancel my order and go elsewhere as it was taking too long to arrive, in the end they did not pay any attention to my emails regarding dimensions and I received this cheeky email: Hello Gary Technically you have what you have ordered a cover for a Eden NC410 The reason why we don’t list a cover for the Eden EN410XST is because we don’t make a cover for it. We are happy on occasions to make custom covers but we need reliable measurement or else we end up carrying the can. Please ship the cover back, we will refund postage, with dimensions and we will make you a custom cover. Regards Shaun (Silverstone) So I sent the cover back with my details asking for a full refund and paid recorded delivery. Then nothing............so contacted my local trading standards office who tried to communicate with them but still no refund. Small claims court now with a running total of £80 claimed, £45 + £10 delivery +£25 small claims - still nothing... This guy clearly does not care about his paying customers unless its a easy cover for him to make. Please use other British company's such as hotcovers this guy does not deserve your business. Will keep you posted. G
