[quote name='wwcringe' post='1192508' date='Apr 8 2011, 04:33 AM']Hiya folks, I'm a bit of a lurker here on BC, I really must introduce myself properly (actually I'm quite an avid lurker)..but looks likely I can make it and will be nice to see a few of you in person! I can manage a fiver and a cake to share round! Don't have much by way of exciting gear to bring, but happy to offer advice on 'live sound' if anyone is in need of help. Also a chance I can kidnap one of my drummers with either a kit or percussion setup for a couple of hours, which could be fun if there's any jamming. In terms of instruments I might throw in the Paul Rose (Prosebass) prototype EUB-thing - which now sports a nice new bone saddle and sounds, imo, pretty awesome!! Cheers, Tom F[/quote] Be good to see you Tom There will be a kit set up in the back room for the skin bashers. Still looking for a Guitar amp, although I will nick my sons combo, but not sure it will compete with a full kit & bass rig !! . See you Sunday

Not long now... must remember to get some cakes in Any preferencies ?

[quote name='Phantomnin' post='1172520' date='Mar 22 2011, 08:04 PM']hey. Just realised I can make this date. Hope there is still space. I've got a RH450 and a 2x10 and 1x12 and a status streamline and almost 0 talent. Happy to dontate £5.[/quote] Be good to have you and your kit there... so wanna see that Streamline !!

Tis getting close now..... Heres an idea !! In the second studio, we could set up a bass rig and a drum kit, and If any budding guitar players would want to come along with you (or may be you would like to play some guitar) we can set it up as a Jam Room !! Mics & PA provided I'may' be able to provide a guitar amp, but would be better if someone could bring one / two along Please let me know if this is of interest....... ALSO......... As Im donating the use of the Studios for nowt, would attendiees be prepaired to put £5 in the bucket to go towards the BASSCHAT FORUMS running costs ?? Im sure they would appeciatte a few bob in the coffers ?? Dusty

The Mark Bass Rig will be there

I don't believe we have old times to chat about, good or otherwise Always happy to talk about the new times, though - but not on 10th April.[/quote] I do apollgise Paul, I thought you worked with John Dean many moons ago ! Oops.

[quote name='Paul S' post='1125977' date='Feb 13 2011, 02:25 PM']Just realised this clashes with a gig - Rock for Haven's Sake is on the same day. Although my lot aren't playing until later in the afternoon I am planning on going all day with some family. Bugger.[/quote] What a shame Stretch, was hopeing to catch up with you chat about the good old days

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1118649' date='Feb 7 2011, 10:02 AM']This is how you ship a bass. [/quote] Made my day that has

[quote name='BottomE' post='1117252' date='Feb 6 2011, 12:40 AM']Hi, it seems we meet at last. I am the guy who sold you that lovely bass. Can i say that i totally didn't mean to mislead you with the sale and i might well be an inexperienced seller. I am truly sorry that you are dissapointed with the sale. This was never my intention. I have sold a few basses, posted them in their cases and this has never been an issue before. Perhaps naively i believed that the case was adequate protection. I have been a bit around the world playing bass and must be very lucky as the majority of time my basses have survived well enough in bass cases. That said, i am looking at this completely differently as you are a BC'er and not some idiot trying to rip me off. I am happy to send you £20 towards the cost of a new case. I just bought a new case for a jazz bass off of Thomann and it was £43. How does that sound?[/quote] Pm'd

[quote name='Protium' post='1116850' date='Feb 5 2011, 07:05 PM']A hard case provides more protection than a cardboard box. The bass has turned up in described condition. I can't see what you want to seek compensation for, other than to try and rip off the seller.[/quote] I think you are missing the point, The case was included in the final sale, I would never dream of sending a bass in a cardboard box, But when I sell my basses with a hardcase / softcase, I want the item to arrive in the best possible condition, So it would be boxed & bubble wrapped to give it the best possible chance. If you bought a case on here or anywhere else for that matter and it turned up damagaged with a only a bit of sticky tape and a stamp on it, you would also be peeved

Was not aware this was a thread on here from from a fellow Basschatter. So now the 2 parties are out in the open. I can assure you, I am not a chancer, scammer, trying it on or any other of the derogatory remarks made against me. I have bought and sold many basses on here from fellow basschatters with never an issue, only compliments. Please follow the link for my concern I raised this evening. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=121781"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=121781[/url] I stand by what I have said.. I bought a bass with a case included. I expect it to be shipped in a suitable condition to protect both items. I had hoped we could resolve this amicably

Just received another Bass that I won on e-bay. What the Bass is, is not relivent for this thread other than it was not cheap. My gripe is in the way it was shipped I've cut and pasted the text from the listing, taking out any reference to the make of the bass etc. and attach some photos of how I received the bass in question.... [b]at no time will I name the e-bayer from whom I received this from.[/b] [color="#0000FF"][i]On offer is my beautiful ****************** (check out the wood grain) in incredible condition. This bass has an amazing tonal variation *********************************. The low B sounds fantastic. I have only gigged this bass twice and would not sell it if i didn't struggle with 5 strings. This is a pro level instrument and deserves to go to a home where it will be used and appreciated. I keep getting out my ******** cos i prefer 4 strings but the ***** is at least as good as the ******in tone and has a lot more variation. I want to stress that the bass is in perfect condition because i am a very fussy instrument owner and when the bass wasn't being used it was kept in its case which is also included as i wouldn't dare ship this in a soft case. There are no dings or buckle rash - effectively you are buying a new bass. In addition i have had the bass setup by my tech guy who has put some lovely DR High Beams on and set the intonation and action perfectly. I will send to UK only and obviously would prefer pick up but am happy to post insured. The last bass i sent cost £28 to post insured.[/i] [/color] So having seen what a 'careing' instrument owner the seller was, I had no qualms in bidding on this item. What shocked me, and we are now in dispute over is..... [b]Would you ship this expensive Pro Level bass via Parcel Force (£28.00) with just a bit of 'sticky tape' across the catches of the case ?[/b] Needless to say, the case ( a covered thin chipboard variety) arrived smashed, but thankfully the guitar is ok. I have bought & sold loads of guitars both on here, Talkbass & e-bay from the Uk, Germany & the USA and never have I seen something shipped without any form of protection. I believe I have bought a Bass with a case, not a Bass in a shipping box. The seller disagrees. Am I right in seeking compensation for a replacement case ?? Your comments would be appreciated...
