[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1447349200' post='2906977'] Really bad news. [u]The[/u] classic Motorhead line-up was Lemmy, Phil & Eddie. [/quote] This^ [quote name='Luulox' timestamp='1447351529' post='2907000'] Really sad news, the first band I ever saw live. Couldn't hear for days after. RIP Phil [/quote] And this ^ RIP to a true rock legend

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1447331922' post='2906747'] If you can ship it, [url="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002025970885&sk=photos"]Dave Wilson[/url] is one of the best in the biz.[/quote] This ^ I've not yet commissioned any work from Dave, but what I've seen of his work is incredible! However, Haltwhistle (in western Northumberland) may not be exactly local for you...

Thanks for the reminder Dad However, it seems to be that more of our "guest" sellers (often based in mainland Europe and with very low or none-existent post counts) are failing to read (or respect) these guidelines... Just an observation - not a criticism.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1447310718' post='2906536']Sheehan always gets criticism for his tone but whether you like it or not it is born out of a purpose and not just being a "look at me!". [/quote] This What's going on with the interviewer's hair though?

Please don't do it!! It is really useful to be able to search previous for sale threads when checking the value of equipment. If people delete their threads once the item is sold, it robs us of the opportunity to do so. Also, I can see no reason to delete a thread once the item is sold. Why would you? Deleting the photos is different, as it frees up space in your picture allocation... Rant over.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1447056882' post='2904369'] I guess not - I'd be changing for the sake of it, really. [/quote] Surely not. Bass players are far to intelligent to do such things.

[quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1447156521' post='2905293']This, along with my dislike for confrontation is what has prevented me from demanding my money back. [/quote] It needn't be confrontational. Explain the problem to the seller (as you have just done for us) and see what he says. Make your position clear about what you want/expect. The worst he can say is no, at which point you might want to refer it to Ebay. If none of that works, you could always just sell the bass on. Whether or not you mention the truss rod issue depends on your own integrity...

Mayones Jabba? Not just because I happen to be selling one (http://basschat.co.uk/topic/272367-mayones-jabba-four-string-super-jazz-bass/page__p__2901928__hl__jabba__fromsearch__1#entry2901928) but because they are seriously good. Neck might be a bit flat for you though, as the radius is 20" or so...
