Buzzard's Bass Shop Extinction? Where is Brian W. Cornwell?
- Thread starter U2Scott
- Start date
I posted an order recently but only just happened upon this resurrected thread. It's been a couple of days and I've emailed Brian twice with responses both times. I'll give it a few days and let everyone know how it goes. I have my eye on the Paypal 45 day rule, though.
To those considering ordering from Buzzard's Bass, I just received my order with everything included after about a week. Nothing to complain about, I have everything I ordered. But based on other user's comments I would still exercise caution. I hope more TBers have such successful transactions!
Took me 3 weeks to get tuners. When I emailed to ask him what was up, I got the typical internet tough guy routine that is so tired. This guy is completely mental. Never again. I ordered from him because he was cheaper than everybody else. Next time I'll pay more to skip the tweaker madness.
Just wanted to shout out about Brian.
Just received a short scale neck that Brian de-fretted for me. Good job put a lot of effort into it. He stayed in touch with me all the way and sent progress photos. I will admit he is a little rough around the edges when it comes to email but when you get to know him youll understand. Thanks again Brian. See you around.

After going thru a family meltdown several years ago over my grandparent's estate I can testify that unscrupulous family members can and will reek havock in the name of greed.
The funny part is the one who thought he won was in for some rude awakening at the actual work a farm can be, plus the effect of a couple hundred pounds of fertilizer on a large lawn which he didn't show up to mow until June, LOL! He was trying to mow 5' grass with his riding lawn mower! ( What's really funny is I ran a lawn co, at the time and could have taken care of the place for him if he would have been a nice fellow).
Hopefully he's on his way to putting his life back in order and can get his business back going again.

After seeing this and a couple of other threads on TB I decided to see for myself how the service was. I have to say I was impressed. I ordered a hipshot A type bridge with a non standard spacing that had to be ordered from the factory. Brian emailed me immediately about the potential wait involved and then followed up with several unsolicited emails letting me know what was going on. I got the bridge in a week at a very nice price. I cant speak for problems other folks have had but my experience was as good as I could have hoped for. Since almost everyone actively participating in the LC needs to buy parts I thought you guys might be interested in my experience.
