spongebob Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 In the market for a new bass, and have found 1 on the Bax Shop at a good price. It's listed as 'B' stock - only damage listed is light wear, as it's a customer return. The saving is quite good - around £130 on brand new. Still with full warranty, etc. Anyone got any experience of buying from them? Especially the B stock thing. I'm not fussed about new - in fact, I'd rather save a bit and buy used. If their description is right....all intact, just 'light wear' (whatever that might take into account....!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolo Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 They usually have pics of the actual object under the listing. You can shoot them an email for more info or ring them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 The photo is the generic one for that bass - emailed them, and they said they'd bring it to their local office and inspect it. I'm (maybe hoping) that they are using the stock photo as it is, for intents and purposes, a new instrument....albeit with some 'light wear'! Being a customer return, how much damage could possibly be done? They claim that all damage is listed.....and besides the light wear, there isn't any!

spongebob Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Not a problem now - tried to buy and checkout, and was given a 'problem, contact customer service'. Then directed to a generic contact form! Think I'll pass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Not instrument related but I received a b-stock pa sub at a silly price couple of weeks back from Bax. Boxed like new and not a mark on it. Pretty sure I would use them again if I needed something and they had it at the right price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheth Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Bought my CTM 100 on Bax Shop a while ago, they're brilliant to deal with but their Website isn't great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 The distance selling laws will still apply, so you'll be able to return it if you're not happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wait for their reply, they've always been 10/10 with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
