  1. [quote name='Jakester' timestamp='1487771468' post='3242657'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]15. purchases of items which you collect in person, or arrange to be collected on your behalf (including at a retail point of sale) and which you claim to be Not Received.[/size][/font][/color] [/quote] Therein lies the problem/scam. Buyer pays by paypal, collects in person/gets a courier/friend to collect (buyer books the courier so seller has no proof of courier booking). THEN buyer contacts ebay and says item hasn't been delivered, seller can't provide proof item was posted (part of T&C) and photos of a courier/family member could be for anything (or even staged by unscrupulous seller), so ebay/paypal refund. I speak from sad personal experience!
  2. Buyer pays by PayPal... YOU are responsible! Regardless of who packed it, paid for the courier, booked it; YOU will lose the fight and they will get a refund from PayPal if it is lost, damaged, 'claimed' as lost! Buyer pays by bank transfer etc... THEY are responsible! As you can't get a chargeback from anyone (assuming they don't pay by credit card), they can claim back from the courier in any of the above events. IMHO that is the simplest way to look at it and the grey areas will still fall into those two scenario.
  3. Getting back my old Warwick 'Infinette'! Got an offer too good to refuse (I was out of work at the time) so I sold it; I've got an identical bass but it is 1lb heavier... no good for a dodgy shoulder!
  4. I'm seeing/doing both sides of this. Band A - One gig in a year and an average of one rehearsal per week. Band B - Initially meant to be a dep, 0 rehearsals and yet I'm now full time bassist and 4 gigs under the belt in 2 weeks! I find the 'B' option to be more fun and less onerous (not that 'A' isn't enjoyable), I get a text saying track x y or z is new for next gig and the expectation is that all band members will know it!
  5. [quote name='robocorpse' timestamp='1486511668' post='3232460'] Hi. Thats late 80s/early 90s Japanese, but still a cracking bass for the money. [/quote] You're spot on with your dating; the band I was in when I bought it was 89-90. £225 price now includes mainland UK shipping.
  6. The amp has a volume control on it right... It'll be fine! Added to which don't make the assumption that the amp shouldn't exceed the cab, it is an incorrect assumption.
  7. Would love to try this but sadly the wrong end of the country!
  8. [quote name='robocorpse' timestamp='1486511668' post='3232460'] Hi. Thats late 80s/early 90s Japanese, but still a cracking bass for the money. [/quote] I bought this new, subsequently sold it and bought it back... I'll check see if I can find a date when I was in the band that I was gigging with at the time.
  9. £799 'starting' bid. I've seen them as cheap as that before though.
  10. [color=#1D2129]Late 80's BO neck bass. Dark blue sparkle finish. Slim neck profile with rosewood fingerboard. Jackson branded PJ pups (passive). Small dinks and dinks but nothing of note and good condition for a bass nearly 30 years old. No case or gigbag but will be well packed if posting..

  11. [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1485623424' post='3225414'] My 750 has a slight hum when the[b] 'tube' switch is on, no probs in SS mode[/b]. IIRC a previous owner had this checked but it wasn't remedied... never bothered me so I've left it as is! [/quote] Scratch that, it's the other way round... no noise in tube mode!
  12. My 750 has a slight hum when the 'tube' switch is on, no probs in SS mode. IIRC a previous owner had this checked but it wasn't remedied... never bothered me so I've left it as is! Oddly my previous 550 had no such issue.
  13. My thoughts exactly! A friend asked for opinion and I said @ £62 it was overpriced!
  14. ...which of the many Far East copies is it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201788255367?_trksid=p2060353.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  15. Watch if you accept an offer on ebay; iirc the 'total' in fees if someone pays by paypal is 15%. Even 15% on your listing fee of £3000 = £2550 cleared for you.
  16. Why not have your 5 string defretted?
  17. Oh, 'that' ebay shop!
  18. Must be about the 5th or 6th sunburst from that period that I've seen with that blistered/knackered finish... if you find one undamaged, don't tap the finish too hard!
  19. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1483890144' post='3210872'] Good luck with the 412 [/quote] ANOTHER Schroeder? I swear he is trying to build a house with them!
  20. [quote name='BaconCheese' timestamp='1483645005' post='3209018'] I am withdrawing the ad, I will hang on to it a while longer. Thanks fpr all the kind comments [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]...90 minutes. Is that a record? [/font][/color]
  21. Where are you based and can you describe the controls; is it a pup switch or pup blend?
