Not a complete bargain, but not bad either.

Be VERY careful and ask all questions prior to buying from this ebay seller. I had a bad issue with them in the past (year ago) with a Fender MIM Jazz bass. the neck was fooked and several other issues they claimed happened in freight. There is no way those issues could have happened in freight. Another board member also had an issue with an amp he recently purchased from them.

Buy with Caution !!!! :shock:

They have been slammed on other Boards as well. Nor do they have the most stellar of feedback ratings on the 'bay. Personally, I would avoid them.

Good to know. Well, let this post be another warning sign. I had no idea.

Thanks.

I have heard TERRIFYING stories about these guys....they used to call themselves something else- I think they changed their name just to escape their reputation...

I dont like using the word "slam" for any music related store, luthier or small shop but there are 2 on my list that I will. Gravity Music and Bass and Beyond. 2 stores that I will NEVER do business with ever again nor recommend. Not getting into details with B&B but I don't like to be screwed! :evil:

Sorry, I just couldn't resist! :twisted:

I only dealt with B+B when Jim was there and my experience was positive. How were you screwed?

Your a funny guy.. ha. Nope, they didn't use one of those squirly-screws but almost had one over on me. It was a BAD situation and I luckily got my $$ back and ended any further transactions with that store period. I did LOTS of business with them for 4 years with Juan. Jim is no longer there. He bailed out because they were not making any money. Bought in, bought out..... Whatever, someone screws me or attempts it, I wish nothing positive of them... End of rant! :evil:
