Members poomwah Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 As most of you know, I've been jonesing for a vt bass pedal for quite a long time. Well turns ouit mary ann ordered me one, powere supply too, even a set of strings. It didn't get here in time so she decided when it got here today to wrap it and have a late christmas. Well I unwrapped it, the box was perfect, so far so good. Right on top of the packaging was a set of strings, the wrong strings, lol They didn't send the power supply, but they did send this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassplayer7770 Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Wow! An upside down VT Bass pedal...case! Cool! Speaking of power supply, I ordered a 1 Spot from Sweetwater recently. I'm tired of buying 9v batteries for my tuners... BTW, who did she buy from that messed up the order so badly?

Members poomwah Posted December 31, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Well, they said they would go ahead and replace the strings now, said to keep the old ones or throw them out or whatever since it apparently isn't worth sending them back, and would send me a new pedal once they receive and process the old one. Damn holiday, it won't be until Monday before the ups place is open And to top it off, I just checked my statement, they charged me for the new strings!

Members sub5ound Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 Just took delivery of my VT from MF. You will be happy when you get one they didn't {censored} up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poomwah Posted January 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 Grats on the pedal sub.I'm still trying to figure how they actually sent this thing out. The shipping box has no damage atge at all, so it had to be like that BEFORE they packed it, how crazy is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Davedblyoo Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Take it from me, the regular VT pedal works much better than the special edition one you received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you would know this because you've AB'ed them? Don't talk trash about gear you ain't played, breaugh. I've played through empty boxes that sounded like the mutt's nuts. Oh, wait, you're banned.

Members poomwah Posted January 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 I'm still trying to figure out how it got smashed so bad without the outside box showing any damage.On a side note, I checked my balance and they charged me TWICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poomwah Posted January 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Oh my god, my checking account is overdrafted because they charged me twice.I have to mail them a copy of my bank account and they will see if they can reimburse me for the overdraft. When they get the stomped box back, they will credit my account for one of the charges. Apparently someone at mf thought it would help if they sent another one out without me actually ordering it.They can't tell me when I will rerceive it because the tracking number says it was delivered to someone else. WTF!!!!!!!And they said for my trouble, they might be able to give me up to 10 percent off my next order. Such generosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
