The Schecters really kicked some ass, and soooo happy to have gone back to Ashdown.........trouser flapping power. [/quote] Looking good Russ, looking good.

Karl, Two things: 1 - They let you do solo's?? - and 40 seconds worth??? 2 - Stunning bass...

That is a very good looking bass - I love Warwick, still not convinced by the 'F Holes' but no doubt that is a beautiful, beautiful bass....

Very impressed and very jealous Warwickhunt. If you had to save one from a burning / flooding building could you choose?

For the classic / desirable Warwick - I expect the consensus will be early Streamers - although I'd add Dolphin Pro 1 to that as well. I love my Dolphin Pro II (considered by many the b'std child of Warwick) is also a superb bass. For the "state of the art" ones I'd have to say a $$ Streamer or Corvette, for the modern trend of array of sounds etc. Must admit I do like the Vampyre's as well - bit gothy though. If I could buy any it would probably be a Dolphin Pro 1.

You're right, from a customer service perspective it doesn't seem right, but it's allowed. The best thing to do would have been to ask them what their policy or terms and conditions were as they have to stick to them. If their terms and conditions are no refunds on non-faulty items then so be it. But I can see that it was easy to get caught out, really unfortunate. The only thing you can really do is be as nice as possible (as I'm sure you have been already) and give them a ring or perhaps visit them and hope that they offer to take it back as a good will gesture. [/quote] JellyFish - I think I've seen elsewhere on here you work in a Music Shop. What is your opinion of if the shop is able then to sell the bass as new (again) if it was returned?

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1366721425' post='2056370'] I have a fairly recent law degree, but I'm a but rusty. Correct me where I'm wrong above. I think it may have been different if you'd asked them in person to extend those 14 day terms to you based on your unique issues and the understanding that the item would be kept in as-new condition until you were certain you wanted it. A mini rental, if you will [/quote] Agreed - unless you had specifically asked and agreed and it therefore became a part of your contract with the shop then you only have your Statutory Rights to rely on, which a "Change Of Mind" does not cover.

[sup][size=3][size=4]Geek99 is right - this is a "Change Of Mind" and as there is nothing 'wrong' with the bass then you'd struggle to get a refund.[/size][/size][/sup] [sup][size=3][size=4]Playing Devils Advocate the shop have asked you to make direct contact as it would have been a better deal for you both.[/size][/size][/sup] [sup][size=3][size=4]I am also not sure if they would be allowed to take the bass back and sell it as new again - I assume they would have to sell it as shop returned / pre owned etc and have to take a hit on the price.[/size][/size][/sup] [sup][size=3][size=4]As you bought in person you are not covered by the Distance Selling Regs of Mail Order / Internet Sales etc.[/size][/size][/sup] [sup][size=3][size=4]You would only have course to a refund if you had discussed return and refund with them before - therefore making it a term of the agreement you had with them.[/size][/size][/sup] [sup][size=3][size=4]I see that there may be a grey area as you could argue the transaction started online (= 14 day No Quibble return and refund) but was then completed in person (store not willing to return on change of mind).[/size][/size][/sup] [sup][size=3][size=4]You [i]may [/i]be able to appeal to their customer sevice / goodwill on this, it doesn't really help for a store to pee off their customers - especially a Music Store that would like to rely on reputation and repeat business.[/size][/size][/sup] [sup][size=3][size=4]I think you best bet will be to appeal to them and see what's the best outcome you could get.[/size][/size][/sup]
