NBOD! Reverb Score! TUNE!

Paid for, so I'm hoping this time I'll actually get it in my hands!!
Congrats! I recommend good eye protection while playing such a pointy bass.

Dear William,
Hello. Thank you for your purchase. I'm Hiro from Japan. However, I deeply apologize. This Bass is sold out at my physical store in Japan, and my staff forgot to remove the eBay listing. I sincerely apologize. Can you cancel your order?

AGAIN!!!!! Aaaarrrghh!!!!

Oh what !!!

Now that is not the kind of post I want to read. My condolences on your disappointment, yet again :(

Do you have Danny (Bass Direct Japan) keeping an eye out for you ?
Imagine you will already have that covered but thought I'd mention it all the same. There's also the Tune owners Facebook group, somebody there may be able to help.

I feel for you friend, that's a really big let down.

Hey thanks for the pointers - that's two angles I hadn't thought to try yet so I'll be pursuing those, thanks!
 
The twisted tale gets even stranger - the original Reverb seller just emailed me saying he has it back again and ready to sell to me. Might have it in my hands by Christmas! Not going to get excited until I've go a shipping notice...

Oh he's claimed since the start that there was a good chance he could get it back from the buyer, and that he'd try. Didn't really entirely believe him. Still don't. I won't trust this deal until it's in my hands.
 
If he scams you and the bass doesn't function right you can use it as a weapon to get revenge.
Unlikely, payment will be held in escrow until @bholder gives it the once over.

Good chance of that :)

I got up one Sunday morning to a Tune alert. Paid before I even had coffee 😲 Took 48 hours to get from Japan to Scotland then a couple of days for customs 👍
