It's like a bad telenovella... you get sucked in... you know what's going to happen... but you keep watching... hoping...
This is the internet... don't take it personally...
This is not personal, for me this is business. If you want to post lies about me don't complain about the thread when you get busted. This thread didn't do anything to you and neither did i.
I think you said that a year ago.
Chauncey, best of luck to you. I've spent all day reading this cluster f--- of a thread and just hope the truth comes out and justice is served.

I like that this thread keeps rearing it's ugly head. I hope it does so for the next 20 years. It's an important one. IMO. And I don't think it's gotten enough publicity yet.
Thank youI think you said that a year ago.

I don't think that collecting a down payment is a red flag at all. There are a lot of things you can't purchase without doing so... I had a bass made and felt relaxed that there wasn't a down payment and turned out to be a subpar product on many levels. Luckily, I was able to return it and the money was sent back so it can happen either way - just a matter of morals and ethics I guess.
not that I mean to stir the pot, but I almost bought a Rybski online (ebay, 1900$) and finally after much reading I didnt. partially based on this thread.
actions have consequences and rybski' silence was deafening. I will not support his product. the least I'd hope for was a reply in here.
and even though I believe Chauncey' is undoubtedly a pain in the butt (no offense, but you may have issues man) he was right on the money and ultimately accomplished what he set out to do. thanks for the heads up.

I'm only a pain in the ass when somebody crosses the line. I was overly nice to him. He stopped talking to me after he got my deposit. I was afraid he was going to rip me off or postpone my project indefinitely so I asked for me money back and he agreed. He still has not paid me back.
Have you ever been nice to somebody and they mistake your kindness for weakness. Anyone who has ever done this to me has found out how much of a pain I can be. His instruments are crap, he has an awful disposition which he desperately tries to hide, he is a liar and a con, and he's afraid to pick up the phone when I call him, as would anyone be that owes me money.

I will add that there is no 'mistake' involved - there are those who do this deliberately with full knowledge of what they are doing.
It took me awhile to figure it out. And I've head from several people that that's the case. He's had problems before with customers returning instruments because they don't like them. I've seen several of his basses for sale that were built for a specific customer and somehow ended up for sale at the low end. I did not have this info at first. It was bad judgment on my part to do business with him. I regret it. Have you ever bought an instrument and sent it right back? Not a very nice instrument if you're sending it back never to return. Especially after you've waited a long time for it.
