I just hope that SA doesn't realize thay could have charged full price for these and end up screwing their customers, that's all. I would hate to see that happen.

Jeff, I don't know how it works in the States, but over here a verbal contract was made, a deposit paid against that contract price and the bass was ordered. A written receipt of the deposit and full contract price will be in the post to me soon.

I guess if you were offered a verbal price then the dealer must/should honour that price. In the UK we would think it was a poor show if that was not the case. Also I would have thought it was against UK trading law.

Congratulations Bob! I was pulling for you. I'm glad you kept the faith.

Verbal agreements don't seem to hold too much weight over here these days, in this very litigious society. I have been victim to the "oops, we quoted you the wrong price" scenario, where orders were cancelled. I hope this doesn't happen to those who ordered from SA.

I really like the change in the TRC. One more change I think would be good would be a toaster. How about it JH?

Posted by John Hall on the RIC Forum. "All instruments will ship in their standard cases, i.e. only the 660 will be a vintage one. The special logo and color is more than enough to demark these as something special, so there's no certificate needed."

Allegedly all will ship by year end so as not to be, erm, 76th anniversary basses...

Jeff, I hear you. I've got the old "oops" story several times. They will offer a full refund if you are unhappy with the "new" price. That's usually a poor option after a long wait for an instrument.

I'm getting a funny "feeling" about my 75th order.

Grrrrrrrrr!

rickfan60 · Post by **rickfan60** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 8:48 am

That is 29 if each person is getting just one.

johneek · Post by **johneek** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 8:58 am

I believe there is at least one person on the list who has more than one.

jnbass · Post by **jnbass** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 9:22 am

where's Paul W?

or does his count?

sloop_john_b · Post by **sloop_john_b** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 9:27 am

I guess he's got # 1, so I suppose that counts.
