Just about sums up their attitude then.........complacent

Fair comment but I have come to expect more from them. In this day and age of online business they have shirked responsibility, customer attention, their own mistakes and attention to detail.........

Ignorance is no plea of innocence but I appreciate your point sir.........

Well said ! They have lost business already just from this thread. Not what I would have expected from BD. Surely there must be someone from BD on this forum? I was looking at a pedal and some strings this month, wont be using BD. Also 9/10 rating mistake!!! Bovine IMO..........complacent. They have offered the refund as per sale of goods act. That is not attention to detail and I actually find it quite arrogant.....

You are magnaminous! I respect you enormously for your attitude but they will NOT get any more business from me and I shall pass that on. Shysters IMO....... and hugely disappointed in their response.

This has left a bad taste in my mouth. Disappointed for you. In so many ways. Bad news travels quick. It is actually making me angry............

Now that LOOKS 9/10! Well done @tegs07

Their reputation has diminshed for me. That is a mercenaty way out to offer a full rend - it is correct, and they are right...but. This forum is importnat to all retailers..........I am sorely disappointed as the cost of returns, packaging, damage to reputation, bad press must be worth something!!! Short term gain and a long term pain. What do they base their 9/10 rating against? This has upset me as this is not a personal service, their offer purely covers them and has no respect for the individual. I will not buy from them again................the business of any business is to get customers and to keep them............shame on BD

Another suggestion............ what do they rate it as? What would it be worth?

Ignorance is no plea of innocence, agree with the post. They should front this properly and offer a refund against what they think is an error............ disappointing.................

That is bollox. Sorry but I woud be agrieved. A cut and paste error!!! Have you phoned them? Let them know this discussion is on Basschat! That is not acceptable to me, makes me very upset.........

@Waddo Soqable.... I would be upset atthat 9/10 rating...... sale of goods act worth looking at. Not wanting to be controverstial but would suggest you call them, worth knocking off 100 from what you paid. That is disappointing IMO. Looks a lovely bass but..........not 9/10.

You just wont put the effort in!!!!

Agree with all above.....I have four headless..........a body helps...........

Still no photos then!!!!

They had some great bands on back in the day, used to travel around to see a lot of the punk bands but Slough/Langley was miles away on our minds! That is a great vid. Seen Tears for Fears back in the day, excellent stuff, Nick Lowe as well.........saw Genesis doing Land of the Slippermen with Eddie and the Hot Rods supportung them.......loads of great stuff back then............

I wouldn't be concerned with their automated system, the shop is shut, you have confirmation from PayPal that the transaction was completed. I would be amazed if something was out of kilter. Each retailer works in a different way, different systems, processes and protocols, different payment gateways, etc. Sit back and await the delivery!

Heard almost exactly the same as you re the SUB. You can let us have a comparison please. Always a concern using a courier. BD should be fine though, great shop and good experienced people.

I'm new to them (still defer to my BB1100s as my "go to") but really like the feel and the low end. Not played a SUB but as you said...... people pay them a lot of respect and even question the diffeerences. Looks a good purchase...

Just on it now, looks in great condition, quite like the white pickguard as well........ looks a great purchase, hope you enjoy it........

Well done!!! Photos please!

Have you bought it @Waddo Soqable....?

I went out to buy two MM basses - a standard 4H and a Big Al. Bought both of them about three months ago ish. Was looking pre Brexit as we all knew prices were going to increase. Within a week of buying them I was offered considerably more, however the reason I bought them was not to make money. There are a few bargains but you have to be diligent. You need to be on the FB bass marketplaces, eBay, Gumtree and Preloved and looking every day. Reverb is off the scale and not even a benchmark. However the best price basses are on this forum. In the last year I have bought two Shukers, two Sandbergs, BB1100s - all in great A1 condition and each transaction was a pleasure.
