Rybski Basses?

#168
13 lbs would drive me nuts :). Most basses, packed, that I get weigh in btwn 17-20 lbs. I think, anyhow. Not sure why that is. I guess a gigbag and packing may weigh more that think, and they are sometimes double boxed. 13 lbs. could just be wood. Or if packed lightly, could be a bass.

I'm excited. And it's not even my delivery.

Of course I'm hoping it's a bass. That might save this guy's reputation, AND make the OP happy.

To Chauncey - if this IS resolved, and of course this is your choice as the guy did put you through hell - you could ask the mods to delete this thread. I had a falling out with bass northwest a few years back, and my rant on talkbass went epic. 100s of posts ripping them to absolute shreds, and every few months it would pop up again. At one point it was the first thing that showed up if you googled bass northwest. I felt those guys were actually paying more dues than the initial complaint warranted, and about a year later I asked the powers that be here if they could end it. As proud as I was of that thread :), it's no longer here. I actually feel better that it's gone. Irony was that my rant was just over a measly $25 shipping charge to return a faulty ubass. But their attitude regarding it is what made it epic. Anyhow, don't want to get that whole thing going again, so I'll stop now.

Here's hoping for the best for everyone.

Yes! If I get paid back I'll have the thread taken down and delete all my other comments as well. It would be the least I could do. No harm no foul.

Remember when wheel of fortune had that crapy caroselle! Instead of getting the money you had to buy the stuff as it went around on the spinning display! What a rip! The price is right was so much cooler!




I think the game show Joe was talking about was let's make a deal!
