RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Well have you left your reviews on trustpilot and /or the other sites mentioned?? If not , why not ? Do not bother with them on the phone ! Get a full refund ! With that attitude guitar guitar may be gone gone ,and then obliviously wonder why .

In that case you still have time to return it . Go onto those sites and shame them ! Maybe have a look on moneysaving expert or similar for a template to write to them. Don’t be fobbed off on the phone ! Do everything in writing. Cc the head office/ ceo on an email . 🤞you get the desired resolution

I don’t know how many days you have had it , but as I say that is unacceptable on so many levels ..especially the attitude! I don’t know how long you have left to return it , but take it up with your credit/ debit card …and then crucify them on the sites I have mentioned right away !

That is Bs! The bass has come from a bad batch of poor quality control ! First thing I would do if it were me , is to condemn them on trustpilot , farce book , X etc .You could also point them to this topic here ! If you are still in the timeframe , then you have your consumer rights . You’ve done me a favour by mentioning Guitar Guitar , who will be avoided by me in the future . On a slight tangent ; I did post a topic about cort space 5 a couple of weeks ago ,regarding the fluctuating prices. I’ve since seen that the price for the green one has gone down to £679 .However I had a look at the picture and it seems ‘off’ . What I mean by that is it looks like these basses are being churned out by the shed load without much due care and attention imho ..similar to yours ! It’s put me off of wanting one now . If I do go for a 5 string , I’ll choose a completely different brand of headless .

It’d be interesting to hear your version of mustang sally . This tuning is going far beyond beard twitching territory. If I was in a gigging band with a 5 string ( bead) ,I’d be a little put out as more often than not Low B is supposedly enough to deal with lower range of vocals etc . Your vocalist must sound like a dying dog . Having said that, I do like the Warwick vampyre tuning for some reason but it would seem to have very ltd purpose , unless I was in a gigging death metal band etc . Speaking of Warwick vampyre it doesn’t seem to be available anywhere anymore . Maybe lack of demand or price ? The other thing I was wondering is , how many 4 string basses are available down tuned as standard ?

@Dad3353your explanation has done the job ! Top man ! 🙂

Thanks for that ! It does seem pointless with my post having pictures with no text . It looks so straightforward to delete photos with the x in place in the corner. 😮‍💨 Maybe the Moderators could highlight the fact that images cannot be deleted once uploaded 🤔

On off topic , I retitled my post as Problem Solved Please Ignore ! Can somebody tell me how to delete the post entirely ?? It seems an unnecessary pita to do so. 😮‍💨 Thank you in advance

This is true . Trying to find a fretless one is a lot harder to track down . 🙂

Ra Ra …

My first ‘proper ‘ bass amp with cabinet was an OHM . Bought cheap as chips at the time from a friend . Not only was the head amp very big , heavy and bulky . The cabinet could fit a whole road crew inside . My cat used to sleep in it ! Great sound …very loud ! Buzzing windows! That big click sound whenever it was turned on .Mine had a flanger on it , with a foot switch . Times were hard then ,and it was the stone age . Bass players are blessed these days…

I have a couple of things to add .. Imho the status look way better than the Ibanez . That blue just looks uninviting. Looking at the necks of those and the cort space basses, it looks to me that the neck on my Washburn status is better quality 🤔. Are the necks of the Ibanez really that different ?? I have seen people having issues with the Ibanez basses with marks on the neck - plus having issues changing strings causing scratch marks on the neck .Quality control has been mentioned about them . just looking at that last pic of the Ibanez fretless . The tuning knobs look much better placed than the cort space basses ,and Hillman which look awful imho .
