It seems to depend a bit on your ebay feedback count; I bought a couple of items last year that were not as described, the vendors both tried to pull the you pay return postage card to try and force me to keep the items as the postage was significant compared to cost of items; I complained to Ebay got them to call me and explained the issues and Ebay issued me the return labels and doubtless recharged them to the vendors - I don't think you should have to pay to return items that are not as described. My Ebay feedback is over 1300 positives as I buy stuff for the business on there all the time as I live rural, if I need some bearing fit then no point in driving 20 miles to go and get it when the postman drives the 20 miles to come here every day. I also managed to get negative feedback I had left for one sale that was reneged on, that the overseas vendor managed to get removed, reinstated as Ebay had to accept that what I had written was accurate, truthful and polite, as they had the communications between me and the vendor and I had originally flagged up the issue within an hour of the sale to Ebay themselves hoping that would help to ensure the vendor honoured the sale. They couldn't explain why the feedback was removed and it was reinstated. But since then they have changed the website so many times that complaining in any meaningful way or navigating to the point where you can actually contact Ebay has got way harder; like with Parcel2go the only way to talk to them is webchat and you have to be online to do it and it is slow and tedious, you can't just email them with the problem and await their response.

You don't mean Janek Gwizdala do you ?

or a pub/workingman's club

Dave sold me a tidy Jazz neck, nice deal, all good, many thanks

my copy should have arrived today but instead I got the notification from Amazon

Alex bought a P bass body from me; easy deal and rewarded with photos of the built bass; thanks for the purchase, enjoy 👍

Bought a bridge from Tomas, super easy deal thank you

That looks stylistically like our own AndyJR1515's work, @Andyjr1515 for confirmation

my mistake thanks for the correction, I always get F bass and Fedora confused

It's a Fedora, think it's a custom jobbie, through-neck active PJ

A short video from Ed Friedland aka the bass whisperer popped up on my YouTube feed this morning telling us he's going to be posting again after a gap of a few years and will be contributing to the new BassMagazine.com online you guessed it which appears to be the US staff from Bass Player set up on their own away from the corporate magazine world doing what they always did. No idea yet what a sub will cost as that page is still under construction but there's some articles posted to get you interested in what is to come. SylviaBluejay will probably know more

Bought some pickups from Paul, great comms and next day delivery, many thanks

There is a bass with a removable neck for travel, they also do guitars, but they are expensive and rarely available from the uk distributor http://www.macaris.co.uk/ob-660-bass/p/p736 in theory sounds like a good idea but how you could make one without modifying the bassic (sic) instrument I can't see and so would only really be applicable to basses so cheap you don't mind modifying sugnificantly

same nut ?

Ibanez have a new 32" bass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdDXOVue_M0 sorry I don't know how to do embed video on here (and the other forums I am on don't do it at all)

it shouldn't be difficult especially on a bass with a flat neck where the radius is only on the fingerboard - judicious heat to soften the glue holding the old fingerboard on is usually required, plenty of vids on youtube showing it being done, but if it's a fender bolt on neck why not just buy a ebony fretless neck and swap it over surely that is easiest

The guitar one was the best in my humble opinion, and the bass one the weakest but they all taught me something I didn't know and exposed or rexposed me to stuff I didn't know or had forgotten about, and makes a change from Mrs Browns boys and all the other shiiiite on the box that most people seem to think of as entertainment now back to youtube for some music

Marcoelwray on here is a affiliated dealer I believe

Got a white Squier P bass body in basswood in good condition that I'll be selling soon, 2015 ICS build Chris Aiken 😉

Take a trip to the Bass Centre and try a bunch of basses out there's a great range of new and preloved to try, would be aday well spent I'd think. Bass Gallery too I guess. Good luck with the search

Mine says expected 15th February
