Playing that well with a pick is a whole lot harder than it sounds. Nice work

And Entwhistle bought his because......,

Agreed. So if so organised, why such crude photos, and why a Wal and a harp, there must be easier markets to sell to?

Seemed important to post this

But i still don't get how this 'scam' would work, unless there's a way around PayPal recharging the seller when the buyer reports a non-arrival, which I doubt, having to deal with PayPal when I had a buyer accuse me of not sending the correct item a couple of years back. Or is that what he does, he sells it and then makes out that he's been scammed "the buyer has returned a fake item", but with zero feedback that wouldn't have legs surely? Or does he just close down his bank account and hoof it? The thing is, if you're going to run a scam, there are easier fakes to sell than Wal's and harps; phones, watches, computers, cameras...... This just seems the hard way to do it! Been a long week, I'm probably missing something obvious

What I don’t get is that you’d use PayPal so how does the scammer come out if it intact?

Damn, Inspector Jack wins again

Ha ha, fair points, but if it is a scam, its an odd one

But if it’s a scam, I really don’t get the harp? And he seems to know what he’s talking about musically? And you can’t bid against yourself, it just looks like you can. Perhaps the seller has MPD, genius scammer one minute, rubbish one the next

The plot thickens

Mmmmm, fair point, I stand by the harp clause however. If he’s clever enough to distract attention with that, probably not foolish enough to run two scams at once?

Yep

Good idea

Seller has also listed a harp for sale, not the classic sign of a scammer

Thanks HKH, given the quality fo glues and CNC you'd hope (assume) that there's no issue with any decent brand?

Just asking, but does one-piece, two-piece or three-piece represent any substantial difference to construction quality, tone, longevity etc, or is it just aesthetics?

Gotta be Westone

Why, someone replaced the original PUPs that perhaps failed - wouldn't have been my first choice, but each to their own. Frankly, if I were trying to palm off a fake, I'd have put some mucky old PUPs in there and kept quiet?

Am I missing something? Bids fine Poor photo, are you saying it's fake?

Are you trying to record a good audio performance, or a good promo video, I get the impression you might be trying to do both but that's a big ask?

Yep, guess so

Well lucky you! I emailed John several times, and he even acknowledged that he’d received at least one of those emails in a thread elsewhere on this forum, but still no reply. Guess he has his favourites, but not sure what I did other than buy preamps from him and constantly promote his products here and elsewhere to earn the disrespect

Singer with lyric sheets? Sorry but that’s bad enough in a rehearsal, but in a video? Also I assume you’re distancing, but even so why have the singer looking like they’re in a fire escape when drums and guitar are on a stage? I think the mix is OK to be honest, but couldn’t watch the singer more than 30 seconds. EDIT My apologies, the above was harsh, I'd had a long day and it was my emotional reaction. I agree with all of the positives above and in the post below this. Importantly, perhaps most importantly, it's a tight band, and there's not enough of those around. Good luck with it all. Chris
