Stop !! - you're scaring the tutu off me

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1492860396' post='3283697'] The trouble with sites like Gumtree is you cannot mark people down (as you can via feedback on Fleabay) if they mess you around. [/quote] You cannot leave bad feedback on ebay for a buyer that doesnt show, or for any other reason

Or keep it all.

[quote name='largo' timestamp='1492699901' post='3282504'] Or, following the same analogy. You visit an 80 year old who's husband just died and she's moving his stuff on. A vintage Fender, been under the bed for the last 50 years and because it's so old, she's after fifty quid for it. Would you seriously give her the £50 and think it's fine because she's happy she got the money she wanted for it. [/quote] Yup Then as i would be in the better position to sell it for its true value, i could then share the ill gotten gains with the said 80 year old

Well, you did waste his time. He could have been down the library reading " how to make friends and influence people " It seems obvious even to my teddy that you suffered the most inconvenience - travelling, petrol, etc. I suspect he was pissed off because he nearly had you for £700. He could almost feel that green pile of Queens being counted out into his outstretched claw, only to be howibbly howibbly snatched away from him in the blink of a dollar sign in the eye

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1492583700' post='3281303'] I had to stop watching it because of the bloke with the long hair. After the second flick of his quiffy bits I was stuck with an image of him as the back end of a horse flicking bot flies away with its tail. I'll listen without looking next time. [/quote] Likewise

There is no issue If seller A wants £500 for Bass X, and sells it for £500, result. Move on If seller A wants £500 for Bass X, and gets offered £400, either sell it, or don't. If seller A sold Bass X for £400 and sees Bass X back up for sale for £500 , get over it, or do not accept less than you want

You've got me wrong - i'm not upset. I've had no dealings with BD at all so have no allegiance. But you say that you're just stating that you had a positive experience, so why cant the those that had a negative experience state that, without you calling them exaggerated ? That's all i'm saying

Is that Git a Zemaitis ???

Dr Frankenstein i presume ?

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1492245304' post='3278890'] Used Transferwise (was sceptical at first) and it was as easy as a bank transfer but way cheaper than bank charges. [/quote] I can concur. I bought an amp from Germany, and they insisted on Euros. Paypal fees or bank charges totted up to around £30 -ish Transferwise charges amounted to £2.50. The problem was getting the german company to accept that as payment. They did in the end, but they must have figured that they might get scammed, because they hadn't heard of Transferwise Anyway, i'd use them again at the drop of a hat

How do you know they were exaggerated - were you there at the time ? Just because those negative experiences don't tally with your positive one, doesn't mean anyone is making it sound worse than it is You can get good and bad in dealing with ANY business in life, not just music shops. That's life

Ah, wtf, have a taste Gong - Espresso from Gazeuse !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuMEhD4P8PY Floppy Hat from Velvet Darkness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mSL0Zy2i3o&index=2&list=PLWFXsGz50Kq349oDTwYFxIZtt_PU17PdM Gattox from Velvet Darkness ( gattox is pisstake of the word gateaux ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP04AiRv8N0&index=8&list=PLWFXsGz50Kq349oDTwYFxIZtt_PU17PdM

Check out solo album Velvet Darkness and Gong album Gazeuse ! These feature brilliant work by Allan First got wind of AH from his '76 album Velvet Darkness, and loved his work. The Gong album Gazeuse ! features more stunning work I got to see him in the early 80's at a tiny jazz club in Oxford, with 2 unknown local jazzers on DB and drums. He was famous, but didnt mind playing with these locals at all. He was a very humble man. You could pass him in the street and not know. He looked like a chartered accountant I'm gutted

Just bought a concrete TE cab from M the G. Met the dog ( ultra cute ) drank the coffee ( wet n warm ) ate the cookies ( tasty ) and have now met The Greek connection ( cool dude ) A good day

Damn, someone got a post in between I would never just take a bass off the wall without asking, but it was posted that way

So in these shops, if you like a bass that's for sale on the wall, you have to buy it, then you can try it out ? That kinda of defeats the idea of bothering to have a shop, surely ? All they need is a website and a warehouse

Its not a big deal whether you do or don't. There are much worse things But its a bit on the sad side. Like sweeping dust under your own carpet and telling yourself your house is clean But live and let livery , as someone said ( brilliant )

Did someone mention that BD wont let you take a bass from the wall to try out ? Eh ? So you have to gauge how much you like or dislike the plank by staring at it ?

Down the centre to anchor the string, then enough spare for 2 / 3 winds Job done

Suede on the inside is great for non sliding around I have one myself, but i prefer one's that slide
