ped Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I haven't bought a bass for a while but I recently bought something I've been after for years. I paid via Paypal a few weeks ago but I didn't realise (and it didn't warn me) that unless a debit card is associated with your account the money sends as an 'e-cheque' which took a loooong time to clear. Luckily I wasn't in a rush and the seller was fine with it. I wish I'd known otherwise I'd have used Transferwise which I really like for international payments. Anyway my friend at Elixir sent me some strings for it (super light 5's) and I have my signature finger puppets ready to adorn the tuners of said instrument. it'll be here on Friday or maybe next week. DPD are the courier and yes it's fully insured! Fingers crossed for me please... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
