Rybski Basses?

Again, and for the last time, what I posted and then deleted was second hand information, and there are two sides to every story, so I don't know who to believe. I am not a person, in this situation, who can state whether what I was told were lies, or not. Therefore, I want NO involvement in this. I didn't delete my posts to save my own integrity. I deleted them to get myself out of this discussion. I have nothing to prove. I even offered to help you! You've now made accusations against me as far as WHY I deleted those posts. If you feel that Rybski slighted you, do something other than direct your hostility at me as I don't have a clue about what's happened between the two of you.
You thought strongly enough to spread second hand knowledge and attack me in the process. You took it upon yourself to be the other side of the story and defend him. You involved yourself willingly and still do every time you reply. You did not help me at all and only wanted out of the conversation when you started losing your argument. I have nothing against you or anyone else that puts in there two cents. I welcome anyone to say anything they feel the need to say, even if it's somebody correcting or making fun of my pronunciation of luthier. It's all good!
 
That should be a no brainer. Rybski is very well aware of this thread, yet choosing not to come here and make things right.

He can easily log in and either state that the OP has been misleading, and is giving us inaccurate information - and tell us his side of the story - but he's not.
He can also easily come here, and admit to some wrong doing, and even perhaps the inability at this time to be able to re-compensate him. We all make mistakes. I have a very good feeling the OP would be fine with receiving payments over time, and also be amiable to working out some other solution/agreement. Like maybe the guy could build him a bass?

That's not happening.

Also, didn't say this in my last post, but I think talkbass is an excellent place to air this kind of thing out. We're the community that will make or break someone like Rybski, and if he's a theif, well it should be known. Here. If he has any integrity he always has the opportunity to right his wrongs. Not sure why he isn't. If he's reading this (which I'm going to guess he is) I really think it would be in his best interest all around to work something out with the OP, apologize, and be done with it. It's not that hard so long as we have the willingness to say, "Hey. I goofed on this one. But I want to make it right,"
Joe is right! I am willing to work in any way shape or form with Rybski. I don't need and apology from him or nothing like that. I just dont wanna be ripped off.

Okay. I didn't lose any argument as I never really thought there was one taking place. Good luck to you, and with that, I'm outta here.

You took part in this willingly. You told everyone who could read and has Internet what Rybski said to you. You said that he paid me back, that I changed my order, that I was difficult. You insinuated that I deserved to lose my money for changing my order and being difficult and you also stated that " well, victor Wooten shure seems to like him (Rybski)". I'll tell you how much victor likes Rybski. I posted my vids and comments on the Wooten woods Facebook along time ago and victor never took them off! Kinda makes you wonder why! Anyway, farewell and thank you for unwittingly proving my point!
 
I take no sides in this unfortunate situation but threads like these can be quite informative. They highlight companies that it 'might' be better to avoid, considering that there are so many suitable alternatives. I say 'might' because like most of you I have no way of knowing what's true and what isn't. These threads also highlight members whom you would never, ever sell to in the TB classifieds, considering that if something went wrong you could be setting yourself up for a thread like this one. That and a negative feedback rating could ruin a TBer's day. :cautious:

M. M.

One last thing, you also told everyone that I had a problem with this guys work. Nothing could be further from the truth. I really like the stuff that Rybski produces, that's why I contracted him and gave him money (2500$). The only problem I had was being lied to and ripped off. You even further stated that I was the only one ever to have a problem with his work. Did Rybski tell you this or was it your embellishment?

Please stop directing questions to Lownote38...he really is just a bystander, a lot of posters including myself were questioning the voracity of your complaint early on in this thread because your initial behavior was sketchy.

You have since come in and calmly made your case and turned all of us around, try and keep that vibe instead of lashing out.

As for Lownote38, he is still trying to see his transaction through and it's in his interest to keep out of your quarrel with Rybski.

I'm done replying to him now. He attacked my character and I'm just defending myself. I'm not mad at him or anyone else on this site. I'm just not going to let him have the last word. He said what he said and should own his words. A lot of people doubted me and that's cool but he flat out told people that I was paid back. I don't mind if people believe one way or the other. I feel though that I need to set the record straight. I feel very strongly about being ripped off. Again I would like to thank everybody who put in their two cents no matter how they feel about me.

I understand his position and I hope he gets the best instument possible and that his dealings with Rybski go smooth. I never wanted to have to say bad stuff about this Rybski either. This is the first talk site I have been involved in and I realize that there has to be two sides. Imagine getting riped off and the second you say something people make fun of you and call you a liar. It makes me want to stick up for myself. I might not be the nicest best person and I have my shortcomings but I am not a liar nor would I ruin somebody's rep for no reason.

Because I like to do research, I went back and looked at Wooten Woods Facebook page posts dating back to the first one and images as well. All posts are made by Wooten Woods, so perhaps you commented on a post that was made?

I was unable to find the post that you were talking about. Could you please reference a date/time so I can research it further?

It's in the posts to page on the lower left side.
 
I admire your tenacity. I see where you also directly commented on one of his posts with no reply.
I expected this to be taken down the second I posted it. When I posted the same stuff to Rybski FB it was instantly taken down and I am still blocked from commenting on his page. I think victors the guy who never did anything wrong in his life and does not filter anything on his FB page. I like victor. I hope he's not mad at me.

Seriously, I doubt he knows you exist. He probably "has people" for managing FB. :)
("He" here meaning Vic, of course, I'm quite certain Rybski knows you exist.)

Something tells me this guy will be the next Darrin Huff......

I encourage anybody who wants to, to get ahold of this guy and ask him why he's holding my money. His number is 615 972 0843. Or contact through Facebook or email. He knows my new number now and will not pick up the phone or answere my emails, but I'm pretty shure he will pick up for somebody else. Only if you want to.

I could try calling him up if you still want people to. I have a lot of phone #s...... I could also probably record the call and post it if you want.

I don't think "ganging up" on the builder is going to help Chauncey's cause any - might just cause further "hardening of the attitudes" on that side. Though I have been tempted to email him asking him politely for his side... ...I am curious what he would have to say, but I don't really want to get personally involved "between" them, either, so I didn't.
