So they lied? You gave them a slightly larger than needed length, width and girth, and they said it wasn’t big enough? Sometimes half the issue is people not knowing how the girth is calculated, and if the system is not automated they should really explain it if they don’t.

Did you use UPS direct or a courier reseller? I've noticed this when pricing up deliveries with UPS, their volumetric weight far, far exceeds the actual weight for bass parcels and the price jumps a lot if the wrong thing is entered. I recall one of the discount courier people always getting that wrong, can't remember if it was Interparcel or Parcel2go or another one like it. I haven't really noticed another courier work things out in quite the same way. But the UPS website is incredibly manual from what I remember as well, I don't think anything is automated and I think it expects people to read the restrictions. But if you didn't enter anything wrong or choose the wrong product, they have no right taking anything from you for a website error. Certainly not automatically! Complain to the bank/credit card company that you have been charged for something that you have not authorised and request a chargeback.

Just a nice piece of Bubinga Pomele 😊

If they're well applied just leave them on, they look cool. And, depending on how long they've been on and again their quality, they may be hiding sticker sized dark patches on the bass, which you wouldn't want to discover 😂

I went a whole 12 months without owning a Warwick. I’m back 😎

I swear he used the Wal MK2 on You Oughta Know, not the rosewood Stingray?

that’s true! Most other multiscales I’ve seen have a much more subtle fan range (Ibanez, Strandberg etc) and that just feels gimmicky, as what’s a 1/4 inch going to do to a string. 3/4 between each string on this and Dingwall’s and it does make a difference, pleasingly so for the thinner strings too for sure.

So, after sitting in its case mostly since I purchased on here earlier this year, I’m thinking of letting this beast go. This is a stunning unique little bass, built by Chapman for Dave Hollingworth from Toska. It’s a 4 basically designed to be drop tuned, fanned fret 35 - 32.75 (same ratio as a Dingwall, just shorter (more sensible!) scale length overall). Obviously, due to it only being 35 max, it’s fantastic in E standard too, indeed that is how it’s currently tuned! It’s very Warwick esque in its build, fancy woods and a wonderful curved body. Sounds really nice, super articulate. Full specs below. Looking to pick something up more traditional so I’m moving this on. It’s in great condition, just a nick near the bottom shown in the pics. Comes with its full hard case. £1,500 new, now discontinued, not sure how many were made in the end but they are hard to find.

Darkglass / NeuralDSP moving into hardware???? UPDATE: The Quad Cortex
Kev replied to fretmeister's topic in Effects
Yup. Although as ^^ said, Tier 2 will quickly follow I should imagine, providing the parts issues they have is resolved fully enough. -
