There's been good interest in this bass (and also the Honeyburst Axiom Series), but no takers just yet. How about I bring a little added assurance to this specific for LB members so that you minimize your risk on a builder you've not had opportunity to actually play one of their basses ...
During the month of May 2009, I'll include a 5-day return option on this specific bass for clients in the US and Canada. If this bass doesn't fulfill your expectations, you're welcome to return it for a refund provided it is returned in the same pristine condition it leaves my shop in, and you also cover the costs of properly repackaging and return shipping. This return policy is considered void if the bass is damaged while in your posession and/or if you make any modifications beyond action/intonation and/or pickup pole piece height adjustment. If you decide to return the bass, you also agree to contact me prior to shipping so we can make arrangements for the shipping return date. Your refund will be credited in the same form as you made payment, and will be issued within two days of me receiving the bass and verifying that it is indeed in the same condition as it left my shop.
The five days begins from the timestamp that UPS/FedEx declares the shipment as delivered. I'll do my best to ensure that you have the bass available for a weekend session, but since I don't have control over UPS/FedEx I can't guarantee their actual delivery date since it's beyond my control.
With this offer, you can verify the build quality and sound character of this bass in your personal environment. PM or e-mail me if you want to discuss this further
all the best,
R
