You could also post it in the "BC Rich Porn" thread if you like, it could do with some new additions: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/8544-bcrich-porn/ [/quote] Thanks Rhys..I didn't realise that there was a porn thread for BC Rich..I'll sort that out now.

[quote name='Sonic_Groove' timestamp='1492620638' post='3281723'] That's stunning, DiMarzio PU's ?? So glad it worked out for You (followed other thread) Brendan [/quote] Cheers Brendan...I believe they are Di Marzios.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1492615195' post='3281669'] Congrats on your new bass, glad it worked out for you. [/quote] Thanks.

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1492615857' post='3281674'] Fretless BC Rich Eagle !! No wonder you were worried. My own "6-10 working days" period of sleepless nights just started [/quote] Best of luck.

Just arrived 30 mins ago. Can't wait to play it. The inside of the control cavity plate is signed by Billy Sheehan....just found out. https://goo.gl/photos/hVUqNuqcm6n3DHwc8 https://goo.gl/photos/uBE8Bs8tSb41nMpx8 https://goo.gl/photos/5oo61U4N8nBLMbdF8

Duplicated post...don't know how to delete.

Afternoon chaps. Great news. My bass arrived 5 mins ago in top shape. It's been really stressful. I really appreciate all your advice. Keep a look out..I'll be posting pics very soon. Definitely worth waiting for....a 1978 BC Rich Eagle bass...fretless!

Thanks guys..it's my birthday on Thursday....would be fab if I got it by then.

By some strange change in fortunes, the bass has made it to the 🇬🇧..now just waiting for parcelforce to process and post to me. The bass was posted on 27th March in France...it's taken 3 weeks so far!!!...just to get from France??...I think that's s**t...and it still isn't in my hands..I hope after all this it's not been harmed.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1492198401' post='3278697'] Keep badgering the sender. Keep the Painpal thing open. I had one go missing in Spain for 3.5 weeks. It eventually turned up with the buyer (who had the patience of a saint). THAT is why, if I sell any gear to Europe, I insist on the buyer booking/paying courier. It's cost me a few sales over the years but I can live with that. I have everything crossed for you Mr. Alembic, good luck. [/quote] Thanks

[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1492201726' post='3278715'] Jeez, that's the fear, isn't it?! Whether buying or selling, the gaping​ space between sending and receiving is a worry- almost more so when sending, for me! Regardless, all the best for a safe delivery, and surely if worse comes to worst, you have the tracking number and last port of call to use in a dispute. All the best to you! [/quote] Thanks.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1492179201' post='3278508'] Good luck, hope it gets resolved for all parties. No, as the recipient your only recourse is with the person who shipped. Frustrating, but I don't know of any couriers where this isn't the case. [/quote] +1

[quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1492164086' post='3278360'] I guess that's in case the seller is scamming you. Did the seller not provide you with the tracking number. ? You can then tell where it went lost. Dave [/quote] The seller sent the tracking details straight away...trouble is that the status hasn't changed since 28 th march...and gives no helpful info.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1492108580' post='3278069'] Unfortunately it is only the person who booked and paid for the courier who can talk to them. Leads to some very frustrating situations. alembic1989 has the sender contacted the courier? [/quote] Yes I believe he has..and you're right only the sender can talk to the courier. However now that a case has been opened PayPal asked me to no longer contact the seller.

Hello gentlemen. I recently bought a pretty rare bass from a guy in France, paid for it with PayPal... got the tracking details, but the status of the tracking has been unchanged for 2 weeks. The seller has been great..plenty of communication by email etc. So I've had to open a case with PayPal to try to get my money back. I'd rather have the bass tbh...but it doesn't feel like its gonna show up.....gutted.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1491466610' post='3273191'] Now how did I know that you'd like it? [/quote] ..lol.

That's wicked...
