[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1426623552' post='2720056'] I'm genuinely saddened by this news. His playing had a major influence on me, he was probably the first bass player I actually sat up to actually listen to. As madshadows said, what a player he was. RIP [/quote] Says it all! What a player and will be a real miss!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1426350883' post='2717236'] Or..if you've put it on hold, you've agreed to sell it to that person.. If someone said to me they were holding it for me, and then sold it, I'd be well p*****d off. And, so it appears, was the newbie..??? [/quote] Get that and the verbal contract therin but, poor communications from the buyer caused this issue as has been mentioned. So, unfortunately for the buyer, cost him the item. Learning point?

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1425592966' post='2709006'] Ibanez SR505/605 should be available for less than £400 second hand and worth every penny! [/quote] The SR-605 is an incredible 5 string for the money! I sold mine for £275 and regret it completely, stunning in every way!

As GregBass says, the American pups are brill! I like the SPB-3 as it gives me more of the boom I like And as if by magic ... these appear: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/257527-fender-usa-precision-pickup/

[quote name='stubass' timestamp='1426197116' post='2715658'] I posted my joy yesterday it's a 2013 and in another league to the mid 90's one I had. Neck is unbelievably good. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/257615-nbd-kinda/page__pid__2715594#entry2715594"]http://basschat.co.u...94#entry2715594[/url] [/quote] Same as mine! Aren't the necks exquisite? I've added the basslines spb-3 that's all, it really really is a cracking bass! The stock pups were great but the BL SPB-3 have enhanced an already cool instrument. I may change the bridge for an American deluxe at some point but that will be it.

Perhaps not but sellers do try their best to do the best by others and sometimes, that includes more than one potential buyer! You know, I would assume the person who bought the strings told you instantly they wanted them and would pay instantly? Its that simple for communication, yeah I want them, I'll pay you 'x' later today when home. Just had a deal go through with, I'm gonna name him, Billy Apple, I told him I wanted the case but wouldn't be down his neck of the woods for a week however, through great comms, trust and instant replies, the deal went off without a hitch. Cheers Billy

I'd guess it's on 'hold' to enable the buyer to confirm and arrange payment not read an email then ignore it for a time. That would definitely make me think twice having been subject to this type of thing previously. However, there are superb buyers and sellers on here who can be found by looking at their feedback. My feedback is extremely important to me hence, instant replies to any query or requirement.

do you own a Fender MIM? I own a 2012 precision, it's beautifully made and the second best maple necked Fender I've owned. (Classic 50's precision being the best) I just changed the stock pup to a bass lines spb-3 and it sings! Thoughts from owners, previous owners, potential owners etc please 😃

I think you did what was right in this instance. Clear communication and prompt reply are necessary when buying and selling here. If you look at at pm you can reply to it.

What a great guy! Was an absolute pleasure chatting and doing business with ya buddy. Simple, efficient no stress transaction - how it should always be. Keep in touch and enjoy the JBV cheers Andy
