They also "sell" {censored} on ebay to people for a cheap price and then refuse to sell it to them for that price and instead release it again at a higher price saying it was a mistake instead of honoring their mistake. (as mentioned in a previous thread a while back)

 

And as I told them...they will get theirs.

Bobby, is this a C&P from somewhere, or did you write that? If it is a C/P, would you please post a link?


Thanks!

I do remember that thread... it was for an amp sale to one of our forumites, and they turned around and "relisted" it for the higher price very soon after he used BIN to purchase it and they refused to honor that price.

 

Very uncool.

In 1997, Richard and Justin Harrison, then owners of Hiwatt amplification UK and Music Ground Ltd, purchased the "JMI" trademark. The pair then set about reviving the superb work of Tom Jennings and Dick Denney who earned the Vox brand name its reputation and place in history. They decided to use the name JMI because the Vox brand was owned by Korg, and unlike the Korg Vox amplifiers being manufactured at the time, the Harrisons wanted to make amplifiers that were exact reproductions of the original Jennings-Denney designs.

Phil, Music Ground are involved with Hiwatt and JMI. Check the rebirth section of their Wiki entry:

Joint MG/JMI forum

Music Ground are also the bunch of sods who have been selling the reissue Tonebenders/Pep Rush etc. They advertise them as for sale when they aren't even built.

 

I did post this link on your Pep Rush thread. I think it pertinent to post it again :)
