Have you guys seen/heard this...
Brian at the Low End, super nice guy that he is has gotten the short end of the stick (so far) in a very expensive bass deal.
definitely take a peek. http://www.thelowend.net/gallery/viewtopic.php?t=6066
Why am I posting this, because it pisses me off, Ive dealt with the Low End for many years and have always had perfect, honest service from Brian, it bothers me someone is trying to pull this nonsense... with this thread, Im hoping to send some positive vibes.
this is the latest update from the Low End.
"2/05
After talking with Chase today..... as you might guess, I am not the only one he is pulling this with. He has another dispute with another store.... he is a Fraud, be aware.
Chase is going to allow him to commit fraud and credit him back to $4039 plus still retain the instrument. So I am ready for legal action again Robert K Letherer. If someone knows how to handle this I am all ears. I know many of you have been willing to help and I didn't want to go down this path... but I have no choice now. "
Thanks for reading
- Tom

Which is one of the reasons I'd like to hear it. What's his justification, real or imagined? Wouldn't you like to know?
