Buzzard's Bass Shop Extinction? Where is Brian W. Cornwell?

Clearly, Miscellaneous would be the best choice.
Clearly?! Really???
Somebody sneezes in the wrong forum and it gets moved.
I guess this is why all the mods are breaking land-speed records to get over here and move it....because it's so clear. :rolleyes:
I sir, am in your debt...
I take PayPal.
I've been such an idiot!
Perfect. :smug:
Ahh! Of course! Now I get it! The only opinions that are valid are provided by those who have paid for the privilege of posting them!
FWIW, Trolls tend to be non-supporting members, who don't fill out their profile much, and can't spell "Canada" either (I know, I know. The whole Canada/Canadia thing. I prefer "Canuck".).
Just sayin'.
Indeed! When was the last time you participated in the LC?
About 3 posts ago. Can't you read?!? :eyebrow::p
Besides, I buy nice basses. Glue is so messy.

You were actually the exception I spoke of, but....
NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!

All kidding aside, If you guys haven't noticed, your collective dissenting opinion in/about this thread is in the minority by a wide margin.

The OP is right. This is the best place for this. And if it seems like I'm having a little too much fun with it, it's because I just love when people get their undies in such a bunch about....nothing. :smug:
 
Oh no need to apologize, thanks for clarifying that for me. I always wondered what the parameters of this forum were, no matter how I tried to figure it out, I just kept going back to this obviously incorrect notion of gluing together two pieces of wood. I'm also interested in this clue of which you speak. Could you help me find a place I could get one?

Ahh! Of course! Now I get it! The only opinions that are valid are provided by those who have paid for the privilege of posting them! Oh, I've been such an idiot! Thank you again for clarifying this notion in the least sanctimonious fashion possible. I sir, am in your debt...
Drop the Starbucks, Sir. DROP IT!!!

:p

U2SCOTT,
I sincerely hope you do get retribution of some sort from this situation, as well as anyone else who may have seen the bad end of the deal from this individual.
It's just frustrating for other independent builders, when things like this take place for a customer and they in turn get burned and carry some resentment in future transactions.
I'm in the midst of building a small business myself and hate hearing stories like these, but they do happen.
 
What I find really strange is, as long as it takes to build up a business like this is to start burning people. Once the word is out what Mr Buzzard is doing he will have to close shop and find something else. I guess some guys just don't care about the business they worked so hard to make happen.
 
This thread got so far off topic that I'll bet nobody saw this:
Invalid Link Removed

That explains a lot, but something still seems fishy. You can't just be thrown in jail and have somebody take possession of everything you own for no reason.
 
It is certainly possible according to [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].

Can't and won't speculate on his family matters. What does matter is that he has resurfaced posting his new address and email, and will provide his phone to current customers. Looks to me like he's trying to get back on the horse. I'd say cut him some slack. Give him a fair shake to get the ball rolling again.
 
For the record, I have not purchased anything. Just been reading. The note on the website sounds like a messed up situation and has really got me thinking about other situations not related.

Does he address the issue of unfilled orders anywhere? Or have you guys just filed paypal grievances and received a refund? Just curious.
