warwickhunt Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 It's a little niggle and hardly the end of the world but it does make me despair when a seller professing to be a dealer/retailer doesn't even know what the body wood construction of their stock is! The seller states the body is Ash... I'm sorry but even the dippiest retailer should know (or at least know how to do a quick Google or visit to the Warwick site) that a SSI has a maple body, I mean ffs just look at it! If you retail instruments (especially when you profess to be an 'official' retailer) then at least learn to distinguish between Maple (especially flamed examples) and Ash. Rant over.

Dubs Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Not a very good effort for an ad if they're a “dealer”, but then given the lack of attention to detail and the lazy layout/format, it’s hard to tell if they're actually making money dealing basses or rather illegal recreational substances… They’re not really a reputable “dealer” of any kind with a feedback score of only 20 after 5 years of “dealing”.

warwickhunt Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Oh my rant extends... The dip sh*t claims to be an 'official dealer' (I assume of Warwick basses), in which case why did he buy this bass (check his feedback) in Nov 08 from an eBay seller (rbmusicstore)? If you check out the original sale of this bass you'll see that 'Peter' even asks the original seller if they will get a receipt! Not sure that it is strictly legal to retail something on eBay as NEW when it is patently used, even if it has never been gigged. Well at least the original seller of the bass knew that it was Maple. Original sale...

Ou7shined Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 The listing has end. It's a shame, as he slightly gave the impression that this actual bass had been played by Stuart Zender. I would have bought it on the strength of that alone. NOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
