Can you two please PM me your details (paypal addresses you used to order) and I'll chase these up. Certainly not good enough they haven't arrived. Perhaps I'll have a new one sent out from the new supplier I have set up free of charge with my apologies. Perhaps they will still turn up. Cheers

Ah OK. Try putting a matchstick into the hole and then screw the buttons to the bass. You could put a rubber washer between the bass and the button too.

Sorry, your image is blocked at work!! The Schaller type to rattle a bit when secured, there's a bit of 'play' in the socket but it's quite safe. Personally I like these [url="http://www.dangleberrymusic.co.uk/p-185-boston-guitar-strap-locks-chrome-ultrasafe-strap-lock-system-for-guitar-and-bass.aspx"]http://www.dangleberrymusic.co.uk/p-185-boston-guitar-strap-locks-chrome-ultrasafe-strap-lock-system-for-guitar-and-bass.aspx[/url] they are really secure and the part which attaches to the strap is more secure. On the schallers you need to add a second nut otherwise it gets loose!

Are they schaller type?

Thanks Liam. We have a big list of jobs still to do and I'm beavering away most evenings on it. Ben has done all the technical stuff and is working really hard but he's been away for the last few days. Thanks for the support ped

Raffle ones are going to be delivered on Friday hopefully, It's coming from the new supplier hence the delay. New supplier has been secured though and I'm going to get some test orders up and running before launching the shop as open. ped

What about Bass Gear? http://www.bassgear.co.uk/

I hope so. I have taken the shop down for a few days whilst I switch supplier. ped

Haha some people will never learn. Glad you like the shirt, let's start a thread with you posing in your shirts ped

Thanks guys, Ben is away this weekend but we're looking at it. We tried using Amazon hosting for images but then didn't, so maybe it's to do with that. News soon! ped

[quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1317488484' post='1391245'] Tell you what Ped. Don't envy you on this one. Was all done with good intentions on your part so hopefully guys will all be patient for a few more days. I think I'll wait a few weeks to let dust settle before ordering mine. Hope it all works out and you can relax a bit and not worry yourself so much. Cheers Dave [/quote] Thanks Dave. You won't envy the supplier either when I'm done with him. At the end of the day there's no excuse for it and I should probably have done a few test runs before hitting them with a large first batch but I have learned my lesson. If it's any help the guy is back and 100% on the task from Monday so any orders from then will be sent right out first class. I bet I sound like a broken record, but basically I told him that he's probably cost me dearly with all the negative publicity this has caused. I'm certainly not paying him in full... ped

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1317486290' post='1391227'] Nope [/quote] Oh the competition winner polos have only just been sent yesterday mate so those will be with you in the week

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1317478811' post='1391139']Mine was ordered on 11th September and still hasn't arrived. I'm not impressed. Ped, it's a great shame that you didn't ask for recommendations for a reputable supplier - I could have recommended a friend who runs a custom shirt, clothing and guitar strap supply and embroidery business, who would have done a much better job.[/quote] To be fair Pete you don't know who I called. The shirts are a standard polo used by countless brands and companies. You haven't had yours yet which I have tried to explain the reasons for. The fact you paid on the 11th is immaterial as I have said all along that they wouldn't be dispatched until last Thurs. Feel free to send me your friends details Thanks

[quote name='squire5' timestamp='1317465044' post='1390925'] PED,dont do anything.I've PMd you.Alls well. [/quote] Too late mate refund sent, don't worry it's fine. I'm off to Pamlieri's for a chorizo panini and a sit down ped

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1317461649' post='1390883'] I like it! [/quote] Well done mate you have won a sticker (we're doing those next) - knowing my luck it won;t actually be sticky but it's the thought that counts!! Cheers (and cool Uke - I re-strung mine EADG so it's a mini bass!) ped

[quote name='squire5' timestamp='1317460932' post='1390876'] Shirt arrived this morning.Frankly for £19 I expected better quality.I've bought sturdier shirts off Ebay for £7.Don't know about anybody else but mine arrived stuffed in a padded envelope.Not what I was expecting.However,I'll wear it with pride. [/quote] HI I am replying to your email at the moment. I have just called the guy and had a right bloody go at him (again). All this stress of the last few weeks is killing me, I'm sure! It's completely unacceptable for it to arrive in a ball. That wont happen again. The shirt should be as described, a decent quality polo. I'll refund you immediately (we'll talk via email) because if you aren't happy, I'm not happy (and neither wil the embroiderer be after I'm done with him) I hope everyone else is happy with theirs. From now on all shirts are going to be quality checked, folded up properly and posted via 1st class signed for post. Sorry you guys had to be the test pilots on this one. I'm going to have a lie down, I think I need to give the internet a rest for a few months ped

I had a real go at hem

I was rather shirty on the phone

Yeah no worries, typical though eh. Not a great advert! People reading this are probably thinking twice about buying a polo now!

Just called the supplier and chewed his ear right off. Basically the first batch had to be posted by the embroiderer which the shirt supplier paid them to do, on Thursday. Normally the supplier would post them themselves, but there was a deal the guy had to conclude in Scotland coincidentally hence the guy asking the embroiderer for a favour. The embroiderer has, in my eyes, basically failed to post the shirts quickly. They used second class post and I have asked for PROOF that they were posted on thursday but I really can't imagine they were. From now on all shirts will be posted by the supplier ALONE, and by recorded delivery (I'll have to add £0.77 to the price though) All in all it's a combination of a big first order, an unfortunate clash in events and a bloody big embarassment for me. Everything will be back up to speed with first class recorded delivery and 48hr dispatch from Monday.... The first batch orders will be with you tomorrow I hope. Really not happy with them at all, but I'm getting it sorted. Cheers ped

[quote name='johnny_frog' timestamp='1317379888' post='1390048'] I believe mine has just been delivered... will find out for sure when I get in from work [/quote] Ah nice, ok let me know Cheers

Any deliveries today folks? I'm about to give the shipper an earful and upgrade to first class post. Cheers

At the moment, yup. Sorry.
