HUGE TRADE GONE BAD

WARNING!! EXPLICIT LANGUAGE!!

I live in N Cali. This cock sucker ripped me off too
Somebody pay half my air fare and rental and I'll go up there and beat this ******* within a inch of his life. I'm 6'2", 230, and like the hulk, you won't like me when I'm angry
Are you reading this, Evan?? I'm coming for you.

Uhh tdwagg? You might want to go back and edit that one little word before you get yourself suspended.

tdawgg's really a decent guy and we had a couple of phone conversations when we were setting up the deal for him to buy a neck from me so that he could get the bass he received from JPATA made playable again.
He kinda did remind me of Bruce Banner when we spoke on the phone.......
 
No problem. We call a spade a spade around here. For a few pages, that old feeling of being trolled and strung along was starting to settle in. So with that said, questioning the story is not uncalled for in such a situation. However, things do seem to pan out and hopefully all works out for the OP in the end. 'Nough said.

Thanks. It was all just such a shock. I went to the local UPS to pick it up and within 10 minutes I was ranting away on here.

My apologies for the language, guys. And Ken, thanks for helping turn a bad deal into a playable bass. I am picking it up from Mark Brown ( tech for the Doobie Bros for years) tomorrow. $380 and s EMG BTS pre and the neck Ken provided and I hope I have a decent bass
I am serious about dealing with this punk

No apologies necessary, man. I hope you somehow give this piece of **** what he deserves.
 
He got me for a nice Cirrus walnut. US, with case. ****, I'm pissed. This guy needs to be taught a lesson.

Well then maybe if enough people can pull together some strong evidence, you might be able to pull together a civil law suit. Civil lawsuits can be pretty effective sometimes. If there is a pool of victims, a lawsuit could dig deep financially. I would not be making comments in anger over the internet. It may feel cathartic, but it's just bad form.
 
Well, according to his FB page, he just graduated HS last year. Hopefully that means he's over 18 so all these interstate felonies can follow him around for the rest of his adult life.
That would be some mighty fine karma right there.

And I'd love to know what ever happened to tdawgg's Cirrus. Wouldnt it be epic if that bass got returned as well??
 
what an interesting link to find on the JPATA FB page (posted Jan 8th 2012)

Guitar thief busted: 'I can't believe this guy just did this'

o what irony

Funny how they keep deleting the comments on their FB page. If I was in that band, I would give this Evan the boot.

OP, I really hope you get your bass back in as good condition as it was previously. It really sucks that this happened to you.

Considering the band has a song on their Facebook page called "Swindling Fools," not to mention the blatant sacrilege in their name, I'd assume this is how they roll as a group. :/
