Masoncole missed the private message where I gave him the correct shipping address and instead sent the item to my PayPal address. I was able to get the item anyway with only a little trouble, so it wasn&#039;t a big deal.<br /><br />

The amp arrived well-packed in exactly the condition as-advertised. Fast shipping, too.<br /><br />

I would buy from this user again, but I would be more insistent on acknowledgement of communication before payment.
He came, he saw, he PM'd, he paid, we chatted, I shipped... friendly, great communication, rapid payment, very accommodating in delivery methods. All around stand-up dood.
Went an extra few miles to make the sale happen.
Shipped quickly and arrived even earlier than expected.
Instrument was exactly as described, set-up well and strings still have some life in them.
A#1 seller!
Another big plus is that he actually left me positive feedback. I've done two other sales here where I left positive feedback for the seller and they left me nothing, so kudos for that as well!
The bass arrived fairly well-packed in a hard shell case (bubble wrap and strings loosened, as it should be).
Shipping happened within 48 hours of PayPal transaction.
It will need a little work (new strings, thorough cleaning, maybe a little truss rod adjustment) and has a tiny little nick on the back of the neck I didn't see mentioned, but overall this is a pretty textbook transaction.
After a few messages here on TB, I pulled the trigger and sent a PayPal payment for the preamp Vinnie was selling. He shipped right away and the item was exactly what he described, in excellent condition.
