Not sure about that as it was probably insured and/or AliExpress paid them. I can say I don’t care either way. I slept fine last night!
FYI, I wish Ampeg made and sold these; they don’t and haven’t for many years since the last re-issue.Did I say it was the body shape? It literally has "Ampeg" printed on it.
How does saying that the seller got fucked equal im butthurt?cincinnatiharry wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 5:01 amNot sure about that as it was probably insured and/or AliExpress paid them. I can say I don’t care either way. I slept fine last night!
After this didn’t arrive for 3 months , and the seller on AliExpress CLOSED their store, and didn’t reply to messages, and the tracking showed nothing but a label created: yeah I initiated a a charge back. Anyone would, and the babel agreed with me.
After this last AliExpress purchase, I was going to be my last, as other items purchased (tools, electronics, etc.) showed up and were shit, I said “nope never again”.
So this works out for me! Sorry you’re so butt hurt over it!
that's a good point. who even still owns the dan armstrong licence? last dan armstrong guitars i remember was the wood ones from the mid 00's (which are super underrated)Ceylon wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 1:14 pmI mean, this is a company making money by selling other people's intellectual property, very obviously in this case since the guitar is labelled Dan Armstrong, and probably they do so in such ridiculous volumes that it made financial sense for them to tool up for copying an obscure lucite guitar in the first place.
I had the same years back. A retro rocket lamp from the UK via eBay. Long delays and got refunded. Finally showed up so got in touch with seller. She was pregnant with her first child and was stoked with the ‘extra’ cash.
Yes, but to be honest, I see it as karma... I have been dicked over many times by online sellers/websites. That said, if the seller (who's store is closed now) did come back to me and ask that I pay them the $180 or so, I happily will.shoule79 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 12:02 pmMoral gray area. You thought it was lost, all parties involved probably filed their insurance claims and have been reimbursed. Trying to pay them back now or sending it back would probably complicate matters for all those involved and be more of a headache for them than they were out money wise. At work I always put something in my divisions budget to cover potential losses, i'd assume they are doing the same.
I suspect Ampeg still owns it. That said, Ampeg haven't made re-issues in a long time, and the re-issues go for €2000 plus and the originals from the late 60s go for €3000 to €4000.s_mcsleazy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 1:17 pmthat's a good point. who even still owns the dan armstrong licence? last dan armstrong guitars i remember was the wood ones from the mid 00's (which are super underrated)Ceylon wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 1:14 pmI mean, this is a company making money by selling other people's intellectual property, very obviously in this case since the guitar is labelled Dan Armstrong, and probably they do so in such ridiculous volumes that it made financial sense for them to tool up for copying an obscure lucite guitar in the first place.
I LOVE UNWOUND. New Plastic Ideas is one of my favourite albums of their's. That plexiglass guitar you have is rad. I am REALLY getting into plexiglass guitars and aluminium ones right now. I will probably keep my current collection but I can see plexiglass and aluminium guitars being my go-to number ones.s_mcsleazy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 12:44 pmi'm always seeing ads with these on them and the unwound fan in me has always been tempted to make it like justin trosper's ventura dan armstrong copy

personally, my experience with aliexpress/wish is basically a bunch of people trying to screw each other over. i've bought a few things (less than 10) from there in the past and only 1 item never had an issue. i had items not show up, not even resemble the item advertised, wrong item entirely, mismatched pair and trying to get a refund in all those cases was really hard. as a result, i've avoided it like the plague since then.
anyway. welcome to the "oh shit, plexi guitars are really difficult to photograph" club
