Resolved: he's taking the instrument to a setup guy to get the frets sorted, and I'm paying. A satisfactory result for all, I'm happy to say.

10 days, which is beyond the 7 days buyer / seller protection date specified. Technically, I've gone beyond my obligation in offering to pay any repair bill although they could still try to dispute over PainPal. I hope this can be sorted in an adult fashion.

Last month

Had a response and I have asked again for photos, which are due tomorrow it seems, plus I've offered to foot a repair bill. I then noticed there's a 7 day period in which to raise issues on Reverb, which this is outside of. More to follow.... Regardless of outcome, BC is always the way to go!

Thanks both. It isn't a 'big brand' so to speak, so the cynic in me says he is having trouble selling it on. Could just be that I simply didn't notice (nor did the guitar guy who did a once over of the electronics a few weeks back). I shall get back to him.

Hi folks, Some advice Having sold a guitar on Reverb to what appears to be a guitar shop (as opposed to a private buyer), they have asked for a refund, telling me several frets are slightly unseated (0.2 - 0.3mm). I never noticed this, and wonder if this is a "I don't want this anymore and I need an excuse" or if it is a genuine issue. I'd have thought such an issue is easily remedied with gentle hammer work (especially for a dealer). I stated the frets and electronics were in very good condition, seeing as there was no wear and the pots etc all worked fine. I set a 'No returns' policy for the sale. This is why I don't like dealing outside the realms of the good people of BC! Advice welcome.

Just received some strings from Pawel: good comms and quick dispatch makes for another good BC transaction!

I sold a guitar on reverb recently. The offer / counter-offer thing works pretty well, and although it went for less than the asking price, the lower selling fee made it a good alternative to eBay. That is somewhat anecdotal as it's my only experience, but it doesn't hurt to list it on multiple sites.

Should anyone fancy a budget version of the Mastotron, there's this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071VSSKTH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I had one and it sounded pretty good for that tight synth fuzz sound, however I think I had a dodgy one as there was a nasty whine coming from it. Probably just bad luck so for that price I might grab a replacement.

I had a reply a short time ago; expecting some movement very soon...

I've emailed twice, yet to hear anything. Pretty poor, especially being a loyal customer.

Received a preamp from Charlie - exactly as described, no dramas at all. Another successful BC transaction!

Greg bought some strings off me; another smooth transaction on BC with good comms and prompt payment. Thanks Greg!

I'm still waiting for my pickup too.

Getting there! Will likely get a couple of sets then add more perhaps

Good to know, thanks all. IEM are most likely my next purchase - I see several folk have gone for these KZ ZS10 in-ears, but clearly the remaining kit still needs to be bought separately.

Hello all, After a couple of successful gigs with my new band, our guitarist (rather knowledgeable with all matters technical) has pointed out that PA upgrade would be advisable at some point. We sounded decent, but the rig the main band after we played had a slightly clearer sound. So, advice is welcome on a rig suitable for 4 piece band in which I would consider DIing my amp to, then using my Barefaced SM as a monitor for larger gigs. For reference, we have an old Yamaha EMX 630 with matching speakers. It's plenty powerful enough but more than 6 channels and a clearer sound would be great. 2nd hand would be fine, and I'm aware that (much) more than £500 would be a realistic figure. Sort of related: I have a Barefaced BB2 which I'm thinking would always be better to keep as a second cab for volume and improved dispersion, as opposed to selling and relying solely on the PA. Thanks

Good to know. The Mk 3 certainly ticks the boxes for me: headphones, cab sim and good 'cleanish' tone. I got in touch to ask about the Mk3 and they're back in stock next month....
