Suggested above Shop losing a lot as item now used.

Think also shop is right about accountancy - they charge vat on the sold item but its different when they're buying a used item back or into stock You could try going back and asking them to do you a deal based on an allowance on the bass you bought against another one you try for for a bit and CAN live with. That way they don't lose a sale or a customer

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

based on a quick reading , youre talking about the difference between distance selling and shop purchase. Sales in person (the latter) are based upon an ability to examine the goods, ask questions and then accept or reject the offer sell based on that opportunity. You can always walk away from the shop. Some shops will allow you to return goods, but thats just goodwill. The former allows cancellation as you dont get the chance to inspect [b]before [/b]you pay. I [b]believe [/b]that this also applies to purchases based on a phone description as well as electronic purchases from a business as they are similar. You didnt buy a specific item in advance (they had two, and you didnt pay up front) and you did get a chance to try it and to inspect. You made your special requirements known and they seem to have gone [i]some [/i]way towards accommodating you. I dont think you have a legal case, but they should probably help you out based on good will.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1366541639' post='2053661'] I have no complaints whatsoever. It a wonderful forum and very well moderated for the most part. The odd few complainers don't really indicate a trend for me. [/quote] This. It's a model of how an Internet forum should be. The mods should be harder on the 36 hour bumping rule in market place but that's my ONLY criticism. They do a good job and I have learned lots here from the people

I don't play gigs but I would have no trouble wearing them

It does ring vague bells - think I saw a review once in BGM ?

20-30 quid then seems fair - I shall put them Through the washing machine

I have two of these spare. Both are black with white Fender logo in really good condition. Came with Japanese fenders Quite thickly padded Does anyone have any idea of what a fair price for these would be ?

Yeti was unfailingly polite and willing to learn about basschat. We had a good trade. Happy to deal with him again.

It's not cheap to stock fender

I have it. Almost done but progress is slow due to demands on my time. I'm a bit disappointed with it TBH

I want it for a replica project - sunburst and maple 73 p in alder and nitro When I mentioned John mcvie I was just trying to give a general idea of what I wanted soundwise It doesn't have to be perfect
