It amazes me that after everything this nerd has pulled his customers are still surprised when he drops the ball. Guy cares more about attending trade shows than tending to his clients. Lame that anyone would feel proud of sporting his wares after the garbage he's tried to pull. Never understand...

In every interaction I've had with Marko since he got my deposit he's been rude or dishonest. Long before I ever found this forum or voiced my concerns. He loves to distort facts and shift blame. I deal with a lot of young independent builders as most of my rig is handmade, and my experience...

Glad I got my refund before he spent it.

Marko doesn't build anything himself. He designs them and has a company in China make all of the necks and bodies. From there he assembles them. I've been told by people who know Marko that his supplier isn't very concerned with filling his orders as they supply for much higher profile clients...

Oh man

It's all good, you make good points. I still think it's very important to hold him accountable for his missteps, and I don't think we should be too quick to forget about this, but growing a business is hard and sometimes you're better at one aspect than another. I've let Marko know that I'm not...

The comment you're quoting is several months old. Marko and I have since add multiple discussions. Most ugly, some more civil. While I'll never excuse wilfully ignoring paying customers for months I have since calmed down about the matter. My most recent comment in this thread better reflects my...

This is the thread to follow for the most up to date discussion. For Sale - Hammersmith K4 - TalkBass Special Model

That's usually how pre-orders go. He was clear in the beginning how things were supposed to go, but delays beyond his control occurred. People didn't get upset until he neglected to update anyone on what was going on for a couple months. He's since returned to talkbass on a different forum where...

Marco, I sent you messages on Facebook and email. Very polite messages. Several times throughout the months. I use to end every conversation with you by wishing your company the best and that I had faith you would take well to expanding. Then you just stopped responding. I had to find out about...

I've audited talkbass for years. I joined so I could partake in this forum after Marco started ignoring all of our messages. This is a website where members get together to discuss music, playing, gear, and companies making that gear. People come here all the time to get opinions on new...

You ignored your customers for almost three months because your life coach told you to take a break from the internet? Ok. Guys, have fun with this one.

I might be the only person who doesn't feel bad for Marco. Literally all he had to do to prevent this mess was to be honest and forward. Instead he hid from his customers, which I don't know about you guys but that's unforgivable in my eyes. Delays happen. You can't always control that, but one...

Received my refund today as he said I would. If Marko hadn't handled this situation so childishly I would probably look into getting a K down the road once they've managed to improve supplier relations. There's no excuse for hiding from your customers while you're holding onto their money. Too...

From what I've heard they don't have a very solid relationship with their supplier. This might sound crazy, but I have a suspicion that their supplier has no idea about the proposed June delivery date.
