Buyer/Trader Beware on TB !

No sense beating a dead horse. The group has spoken and the overwhelming majority feels I ran out of time for recourse. Fact is, I did a horrible job inspecting the bass before passing it on and I got upset when I saw he had the (whole) bass up for trade. The Carvin is still a beautiful bass and I'm taking it to my luthier to have him fix the issues. Thanks for everyone's advice, truly.

As far as I'm concerned, it seems you did the right thing with the person you sold the bass to. That says a lot about your character, and is to be commended. Thank you for being an asset to the trading community here at TB.
 
I find it interesting all these plausible what ifs.... what about the fact that pics were posted as pristine including (and stated as pristine) the pickguard... then were conveniently covered up by a pickup cover. When removed to find just the opposite.
Its amazing to me that someone could think that time would negate an obvious wrong doing...
 
I have nothing to add and I'm definetly late to the party... but this thread was an interesting read from begining to end. It gave me the feeling I was witnessing a real live interrogation. There were moments I shook my head in agreement/disagreement, stroked my chin reflecting on the evidence/logic, gasped and clutched my invisible pearls with the twists. *sigh* I really need to get out more...
