I find it very interesting the buyer doesn't make contact with you until 5 days after delivery. What was that hold-up? If it was delivered, wouldn't there be a signature required upon receipt for such an expensive item? Something obvioulsy doesn't smell right with this.

The bass was shipped on the 5th so if it was ground it would take a week which the guy waited for before calling. We we spoke I let him know it was sent 2day air as originally agreed. Then at that point we started the search. The box was left at the door as they/UPS claimed no one was home. The buyer confirms that but upon returning home a few hours later, there was no box in sight.

Right now it's a missing bass, possibly stolen. By whom, we don't know. I need the UPS findings to make a Police report but I will do so anyway. I spoke yesterday with a friend out there who is a recently retired LAPD cop of 20 years. He ran all the possibilities by me and will assist me in anyway possible.

Or I'm just over-reacting.

Lightbulb Don't think so...

If you are referring to the BT5EG (Quilted Maple), then no, this is not the one. Plus I know that seller well.

The bass Ken is referencing is a 2010 BSR5GN Model: Two different body shapes.
