Jem Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Knowing a few builders around the world this unfortunatley isn't unheard of with Mr Mann, although i will say i don't know one person who didn't get their bridge or who wasn't delighted with the bridge itself when they got it, just know a few who didn't get them anywhere near the projected delivery date.
DaveL Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Anyone who asks you to drop the dispute BEFORE he shipsis a little sketchy in my book. Once it's dropped, there is zero recourse for a buyer. He can easily clear this by either: 1) refunding the money or 2) shipping the product and having paypal verify delivery. I'm going to guess... the bridge isn't close to being shipped. Maybe he is sick, but I'm surprised by the lack of professionalism. If it were me, he'd probably be sick of my phone calls or emailsat this point, and he'd just ship the thing...
cmatthes Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 I agree - I think it's the best bridge ever, and I love mine. That being said, I was ready to pull the trigger on one earlier this year, but the bad experiences were too recent and too numerous for me to get comfortable parting with my money.That's a shame, because I actually needed that part.
GaryT Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Does PRS still use Mann-Made Trems? Terrible business eh? Certainly learn something new everyday. Trems are killer too. WTF?Callaham is relative priced no? Do the Gotoh's have a rubber sleeve or is the set-screw the only thing holding the tension on the Trem arm?
atquinn Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Mann dicked me over a few times in the past. He can sit on his parts.Gotoh, baby, Gotoh.Yup. Gotoh 510 series are awesome! I've had them on a few Suhrs and on my Melancon and they rock!-Austin
Jem Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Does PRS still use Mann-Made Trems? He did and this was apparently the excuse that PRS came first. That was a few years back and i don't know how true it was.....mind you i read it on the internet so it must be true Oh, as for Gotoh: i use their floyd's a lot now and they use a set screw - unfortunatley i don't get involved in girlie trems so i can't say what the traditional ones use.
atquinn Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 PRS hasn't used Mann-Made trems for years and years.-Austin
gorch Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Don't stop your dispute. It starts to hurt. That's what's it supposed to do. He's got the ball.
zenmindbeginner Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 I used to be a bouncer and they always plead with you to get your knee off of their chest.Grind it in deeper until he coughs up the dough.DO NOT drop the dispute, Gorch and all of the others guys are right!
BadgerDave Posted December 23, 2009 Author Posted December 23, 2009 All's well that ends well.The bridge arrived today. It is a work of art.I wish John well and hope that he can continue to manufacture and deliver these truly superior products.A very special thnk you to Thundernotes who lubricated the transaction just when it seemed to be grinding to a halt.
MarkF786 Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Add Dice Works Pedals as another difficult seller to deal with. I recently got a custom pedal from him on eBay. The auction said it would ship in 3 days. After three weeks I hadn't received it so I emailed him. He responded a week later saying it would ship in 48 hours. Another couple weeks passed without receiving it. I contacted him again but no reply. On day 44, I submitted a dispute via eBay. I finally got the pedal a week later but I never heard back from the guy.On TGP there are a lot of similar stories about Dice Works. He makes great pedals but is a total flake to deal with. If he just told his customers it would take X weeks or months, everyone would be cool, but telling a customer it'll ship in 3 days and then not send it for 2 months is just bad customer service.Mark
