If you spent the extra 150 or whatever on this you'd have a bass a lot better than those you're thinking of spending the 400 on i would of thought? Secondhand proper style bridge ,better or matched pickups /a set-up etc. Are you bothered about owning it because it's a copy? As many will tell you here a lot of copies are often near to as good as or sometimes better than the real thing. You've bought a bass that you've already been offered more than what you paid for it here. Keep it and pimp it ! In years to come you'll be glad you did imo.

Tom bought a bass from me,all good ,and definitely recommended! thanks Tom

[quote name='walbassist' post='1114869' date='Feb 4 2011, 07:29 AM']I wonder how much feedback influences the eBay teams when a dispute opens up? I have over 500 positive feedbacks and am rated 4.9 out of 5 for the accuracy of my item descriptions, so I hope they'd cut me some slack! Regarding the OP, I always put a few words to describe the case when selling an instrument on eBay. Usually phrasing the sentence "This bass also comes with..." to suggest that the bass is the main auction item and the case secondary. For example, the Ken Smith Burner I finally sold on here recently had a case that I described both here on BC and eBay as "worn but fully functional". I hope you get it sorted. Cheers Gareth[/quote] It doesn't affect it Gareth,i pretty much won my dispute ,but the guy was still able to leave me bad feedback. When i asked for it to be removed ebay said they couldn't even though i'd won it . So i had my feedback at something like only 94% positive ,but only for 12 months . The best thing is to let it go to dispute and offer a full refund at last minute ,ebay will them they have to send it back at their own cost .

i had a guy in spain try this kind of thing ,sold him a very nice bass and he started saying the case was faulty ,then started saying the bass was faulty then tried to claim £500 off me. It went to a dispute and i offered him a full refund on it (though stated that wasn't any kind of admission of fault) he never returned it surprise surprise.

Whilst it's certainly not funny from a wildlife conservation point of view, the look of bemusement on the cats face was funny - a sort of puzzled 'I didn't know mice can fly' expression. [/quote] I'd keep that one (after having it checked for Rabies!) Try other places if Cats Protection can't do any more ,you may be able to get vouchers to help out with having them neutered etc. Bet that was fun getting them in cages if they been living feral like !

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='893888' date='Jul 13 2010, 04:26 PM']I thought this looked very nice close up. I didn't try and play it, but had a close look. Not that I'd claim to really know, but I thought the workmanship looked very good, and the whole overall effect very visually pleasing.[/quote] how/where is string height adjusted?

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='842955' date='May 20 2010, 11:37 AM']Result! Looks like new now, whoever chose to paint it black needs a stern talking to methinks![/quote] That's excellent Matt !!! So glad you stuck with it and i bet you are too now!! probably sounds better too now without all the lacquer/paint? Bet you were wondering/dreading what'd be under the black yeah the guy that finished it black i think may of been influenced by geddy or maybe newstead from metallica ,it was done in the 90's. nice sap lines in middle and headstock looks about a thousand times cooler now too with the proper logo!! Is one of the last few signed by Ian about a month before he sadly passed away iirc. looks great!!
