Oh, dear God. 'Phillipsing' - see what it's started?

OK it's not the prettiest Jazz in the world, but nothing a scratchplate wouldn't sort. The price seems fair to me, & the sellers' description is accurate.

Here we have an established member trying to get shot of some stuff (for very good reasons) & getting stick for it. Is this really on?

I've been accused of hacking away at my Shine six-string, and the name of a well known ebay seller was mentioned. And it looks pretty bad at present. But if my plans come to fruition and I make a new pickguard for it, I think it'll look OK.

Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with modding cheap instruments.

I agree. I've dealt with John; he's a nice guy and I don't think he deserves this sort of sniping.

Completely agree. John is a great guy and a pleasure to deal with.

Any chance the thread can be locked? A long-standing member deserves better :)

Cheers fellas for the nice comments.
Its cool, I've been insulted by proffeshnuls, so a few comments on here aren't gonna hurt ......it's just people's opinions, not taken personally. :-)

It's actually a really nice playing bass, with the worst lacquering finish on the headstock in the history of lacquering, but I actually like its ugliness.

Sold too...

So it's OK to spend years laying into MDP but if it's a member we can't?

I have no real feelings either way but it seems a little unfair.

Given that the MDP threads have all been closed, I think someone must have decided they'd gone some way past being OK.

You obviously do have feelings about it as you said its a little "unfair" that "we" can't lay into whoever we want.
Don't really understand why anyone would want to "lay into" anyone else for advertising a bass, or a guitar,.....ffs!...it's just a bass.

Giving an opinion, even (especially..?) in jest is one thing. Insulting someone (anyone...) is another. There is a difference. B)

I suppose that could depend on whether you are on the giving or receiving end of the jest or insult. ;)

Indeed, and also the objective eye of the moderators. All is well; there's no big deal here. It's simple common sense and respect of all, no more, no less. B)

Yes absolutely, and respect should be shown to everyone whether they are members on here or not. :)

[/quote] Agreed it is just a bass and that is my point that I don't like the bass and my comment was in no way a personal attack on your self mate so I am sorry if my comment caused offence It was not intended too :) I don't really know why this topic got so "heated" really anyway the bass is sold now yay :) All the best :)
