Contender for POTY 😀🤔👍

Word 👍

And apparently headless Bongos are cool also, as you say, every day is a school day 😀

That’s more than a bad day on the Fodera production line 🤔

Yep, positioning machines is not something to be done in a rush 👍

Sure it’s fine, might even be a huge improvement on the original, but I suspect any buyer would want to know a few whys. Why did you do it, why is it better than the original, and why are you now selling it?

So why sell the bass you created for yourself?

Time will tell 👍

What I don’t get from the listing is why do it and what has been improved?

A personalised customisation is OK, but then selling that for more than the original bass would sell for used certainly invites comment. Might be a huge improvement, but it will not be an easy sell on if not

flip me he wants £2k

@kala420 perhaps let the Basschat community know how we can help you resolve this?

Well put 👍

You won’t go far wrong if you go with Fender dimensions when building bitsas 👍

You should have bought it like I suggested when it was only £250 😀

Yep, that’s the one 👍

All of the above plus the fact that while you might check the RRP with an online retailer, these days there’s a good chance that they don’t have it in stock. There’s been a huge impact of the economic situation on the used market, in some places invigorating it, in others killing it completely. It’ll no doubt revert in time. Personally I buy used whenever possible because I prefer dealing with people to dealing with businesses/organisations. Ebay protect the buyer very well, while the retail sector doesn’t always do so, despite its legal obligations. This week I bought a very expensive unit (new) only to find it has a fault. The hassle involved in sending it back along with the implicit suggestion from the business that I’m being difficult/unreasonable is frankly at a level that makes me think it would be easier to keep it and fix it.

Well let’s just get back on topic then shall we 👍 I had a girlfriend 20 years ago who’d spend Saturday shopping with her friends, often buying clothes she couldn’t afford, and Sunday on her taking those clothes back. It seemed a morally bankrupt way of doing things to me, pretending she had money she didn’t, but she was quite content about it saying she just liked the buzz of the buy but not the keep. Doesn’t seem so bad now?

You studied economics where 😀
