ash Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273299538126 I bought this a few weeks ago and returned it. Although it is a very nice instrument neckwise the electrics didn’t work and it was filthy with ancient strings that were certainly not doing it any favours. The seller was ok and did politely accept a return but initially told me to turn it on as the actve circuit needed to ‘warm up for ten minutes’ I pointed out that the passive option didn’t work either. So if you do buy I’d ask a few questions first. Edited June 21, 2018 by ash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Good to know, one assumes he's had them fixed otherwise he would be facing another return situation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Warm up? Oh that must be a really old model when we used valve preamps in active basses 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarlWhite Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The bass went straight to Pmt in Manchester and had a wire loose and all works perfect now. Worked before I sent it and they said it looks like it happened on the casing probably when taking the battery in and out Ash was sorted with an immediate returns label and refunded instantly i am no dodgy dealer and just want to change to strictly passive basses as the Mrs is going nuts about having rechargeable batteries everywhere hence the sale of ALL my active basses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Yes as I said the refund was quick and sorted out politely. I’m glad the bass was easily sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to last for 2 years or so so I don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlWhite Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 That’s awesome news I just get wary of leaving batteries in anything so long having seen what happens to the kids toys haha, nevertheless I have moved my dimension bass on now, almost finished a pj build got a passive jap jazz so need to size down my collection anyways so the two status need to go and the fender elite bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
