Warning- Bass Southwest

[semiprohooker]

I'd be pretty wary of that builder too. He obviously knows outta the same bass he sent a dealer. He absolutely should be holding up the warranty, not the finish flaw, but the upcoming possible warranty issues.

I had my local guy, who is very skilled, repair the finish perfectly for $75.

Since the repair cost only $75, I guess the finish flaw was minor.

I tend to agree. Surine has few, if any, basses publicly for sale through dealers. It’s hard to believe Surine wasn’t aware that a dealer was selling a flawed/pre-owned bass as new. I’m guessing it was advertised on the BSW site?

Never heard of them...

 

[Smooth_bass88]

Good to know, I'll surely avoid them. Just makes me miss great stores, like Bass NW, that much more.

Remember: three sides to every story- yours, mine, and the truth.

A reputable manufacturer who knew the history would take care of the flaw for the next owner anyway. In my state, a warranty remains in place for its stated duration, no matter who the owner is. As they say, let the buyer beware.

I was floored when I unpacked it. The flaw was so obvious.

I looked at the photo first and thought.... "must be a very minor flaw, I can't see it at all"

Then read the rest of the post....

Yes it was

This is nothing but false and misleading information buyer this buyer 100% false and misleading. I don't use TB much but was made aware of this by another TB user. Although this was posted in 2005 Im now seeing this and will not lower my standards to trash this buyer. I can say that I have sold basses world wide and never had any issues. This buyer unfortunately had buyers Remorse after buying a hand build boutique bass. If any one has any further questions feel free to email me at [email protected] Thanks to all of you

You might want to at least proofread a message you intend to spam multiple times within a thread.

And what are you talking about 2005? This thread was started this morning.

Uh...ok.

If all this spamming is any indication how you run your business and interact with people, I think I'll believe the OP.

Exactly...

Well done BSW

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Ok, I just deleted twenty one of twenty two (!) of the exact same post that BSW kept reposting. If anyone sees this behavior occurring again, please report it.
Thank you

 

[JohnnyChatter]

I’m not one to believe one side or the other without proof since no pictures have been posted but BSW’s reaction makes me not want to do business when them in general...

'bsw' noticed the o.p. joined talkbass in 2005 and became confused. very confused, it appears.

 

[Polk Salad]

Nothing like a mystery......who's the TB'r who tipped off BSW? LOL

OP should thank BSW, He obviously sold him a time machine for the price of a botique bass.

 

[BJMtz]

Wow if that's how a business owner spells and types I'd be very wary about purchasing a high end product from them.

 

[BigDrew]

Got it. I will definitely avoid Bass Southwest. Thanks for the heads up.
