Oddly enough I've compared booking couriers direct and through 3rd party companies... 3rd party is always cheaper. UPS through Interparcel is/was 40% cheaper than direct with UPS! I think it is something to do with bulk ordering/delivery.

Peace of mind.... strange take on the term. If a £1000 instrument disappears or is broken, you (or the buyer) are £1000 + £20 postage out of pocket.

You haven't added insurance premium (wasted on PF as they won't honour it in T&C). I sold a £1000 bass on ebay and thought £50 would be more than enough... £80 with insurance cover.

"The parcel was moved by some unknown government body from lost property and placed with Peacock Auctions. This unknown body has a long standing relationship with Peacock Auctions and has sold thousands of items via them." ^ This.

I'm sure it is a mistake but it made me smile that he says cash on collection only... and emphasises UK buyers only! Like someone from Europe is not allowed to come over here and buy the case. I think saying 'Collection Only' would have sufficed.

Steve's an absolute gent. Just bought my Markbass combo; no messing about, he knew exactly what he was after and we were done and dusted in no time... other than talking all things bass and checking out a few of my basses.

Yeah it isn't the Overwater guy but he does have form and seems to be known for being economical with the truth.

I called them and had Paypal not refunded they would have initiated a process but seeing as PP have agreed to refund, they have said to let it run its course. Any glitch along the way and they will step in.

Honestly, you are overthinking it. I have ran 4 / 8 / 16 ohm cabs rated from 100 to 1200 watts (in LOADS of combinations) with 100 - 1600w amps and I've never destroyed one yet. So long as you don't connect a cab that is lower rated in OHMS than the amps minimum load, then you just need to proceed with caution and start turning the volume up listening to what your speaker is telling you.

No, he just mention pressing 'all' in. I'll try direct with Carey (don't do Instagram) but was hoping someone might have asked this before.

I've searched the Nordstrand site and TB (big thread on this bass there) but can't find my answer, so thought I'd see if anyone can help on BC! This question is specifically about the depression of the pup selection buttons. As I understand it the single button depression gets you - both / neck / bridge / off. If I follow this correctly, pressing all 4 together gets you both pups in 'series' (as opposed to parallel using button #1). However, what does pressing buttons 1/2/3 but NOT 4 get you? There is defo a tonal difference between the 3 options; A) just button #1. B) button 1+2+3. C) button 1+2+3+4. Though I don't know what the answer is I do know which one I like. Interested to hear thoughts from owners or those who've looked at this and spotted the answer.

You'd think so... unless you'd already sold it. Maybe he got a higher offer after the end of the sale and thought he'd try his luck.

Before this was resolved and during my digging, every person who knows him has generally 100% been negative about him. BTW his FB profile (inc CCR band pics/promo etc) has him touting the TKS bass cab for sale. I've taken screen shots of all this stuff as I'd not want him to delete it all and claim it is all made up. I also found on his ebay feedback profile that he sold this same cab a couple of months back (feedback received by him for the cab with identical serial number). Now he either took the cab back because it was a duffer (then why relist it again) or he was simply planning on conning me and hoping he'd get away with the tale of someone collecting the cab. You have to basically judge; what would a decent and reasonable person have done... not what this guy has done patently, for whatever reason! Either way and any way it is pitched, he could have simply refunded me and not let this drag on, especially as it'll take weeks to get refunded to my credit card.

There's a clear evidence trail that it is indeed the same person.
