I hate to be cynical but let's see if a fully functioning SB700 goes up for sale fro £200 more in the New Year?

That's their plan, which was made abundantly clear in the replies.

The boss doesn't want to fix the problem, he wants to give you the money back and not accept an offer on it the next time it's up for sale...

Hoping you'll get the refund sorted quickly! I wouldn't be too devastated about not getting the bass, though. You could certainly find another one for less than £599.

[AndyTravis]

I have done, I didn't pay £599.

And after my 5th request, the refund is now pending in my PayPal account.

Glad to hear things worked out, but I take it you won't be buying from Guitar Village again soon?

No, I won't be.

Has left a very bad taste all around.

Having worked in music retail for 12 years, I would expect a bollocking if I'd behaved like this.

And today the replacement arrived courtesy of our very own GarfyBass...

Jesus.

36 years old this bass, it looks brand new. I'm still in awe of how clean it is! The original case is tidy too.

Really lovely figuring as usual. Happy NBD!
