[quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1337420539' post='1659582'] I know where you're coming from on this one Gary, but everybody was a newbie once-upon-a-time. I think that a lot of active basschatters initially join the forum in order to buy or sell and then stick around when they find out what a great place it is. But obviously if someone's not got any feedback the risk factor goes up. [/quote] that was my sentiment exactly "everybody was a newbie once" and so I treated them exactly as I would a long term regular BC'er and for my courtesy I was right royally mucked about a number of times. I'm happy for people to make an enquiry and then maybe not respond further but when a price is agreed, directions are given and you stay in waiting for the buyer who then doesn't show . Anyway such is life and fortunately the greater majority of the Bass Chat crew are splendid

I experienced a fair bit of it earlier in the year when selling on here. A pattern emerged that put me right off dealing with newbies.

Are you talking Bass chatters or buyers from elsewhere?

Sorted, got to love a girl with a fascinator!

Had the pleasure of meeting Pete yesterday, when he put himself out and personally delivered the VM P bass that I had purchased from him. An honest, reliable Bass Chatter, even took his shoes off in respect to our light coloured carpet. Recommended.

this one has been on my watch list for a few days. Can't afford another one at the moment but always watching just in case. Even been reliced by a singer biting it!

My world is good again.

[quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1337171467' post='1656530'] thanks for the link Always thought Andy Fraser was a very underated bass player. [/quote] Don't think he's underated round these parts but know what you mean.

Nice one Captain Bass, thanks for posting. Not as good as "This drummer is at the wrong gig", anyone seen that one?

A month is still new for me Don't know really, I guess for me, it would depend on the type/style of music.

I put a set of Slinky's on my G&L (four string) and hated them at first but two or three gigs later during the little bass break on Brown Eyed Girl , I realised that they suddenly sounded very nice. It wasn't just down to the excitment of yet again playing that song, they actually did sound good and with plenty of thump.

I can now toddle off to bed in a happy frame of mind and await the new avatar

No complaints from me Rich, although been meaning to say for a while now, how uneasy your avatar makes me, it's even more unsettling than the cat one.

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1336945817' post='1653167'] Given that he's the 'gnomes in the attic' feller, I wouldn't bother. Unless you fancy hearing about the price of his house and cars. [/quote]

Just checked mine at the 12th fret, £1 coin slides under just touching the string slightly as it goes.

that's a pain. sorry no idea but don't don't think you need to worry about telling them what is wrong with it, just the fact that there is a fault.

Chill, don't get too distraught. Can you check out the pups and wiring, do you have a multimeter? Can't imagine it's anything to do with your new amp, just coincidental. First things first, unscrew the rear cover and check out whether any wires have come adrift. Good luck and let us know

oh no. I was about to go and have a potter around the garden but now feel inclined to sit here, contemplate and listen to some of his work. Actually think it will be ipod/ear phones and garden.

Love the packaging . Think I had this one on my watch list and almost put in a bid. I didn't, but almost. Will be interested to see how it turns out.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1335421412' post='1630680'] You were offered a full refund plus the £28 it was going to cost you to return it to me. This was done by PM. In the deal we did you mithered me for a case, a scratchplate and a strap, none of which were originally included. You got a very good deal despite my incorrect assumption. You then chose to maliciously go into open forum with a blackmail attempt at screwing another £50 out of me (ie give you £50 refund or you screw my feedback). Well you have done it. Whatever I do I will struggle to sell on here now, Thanks for that. You have maliciously ruined over 2 years of pretty good feedback in your attempt to screw another £50 out of me. You have made sure anybody thinking about my Duck Dunn will think again. You have made my position on Basschat untenable. I will be leaving Basschat after this is over as I really do not want to deal with people like you, I'm too old. I hope you are pleased with yourself. [/quote] Karl you wouldn't struggle to sell to me if I was buying and I certainly don't think that your position on here is untenable. Seems like you acted like a true gent.

When dealing with Wizard, I would advise phoning Andy rather than e-mail. He is very helpful and patient.

Thanks for the link. think I'll be ordering the Jamerson mug
