A big, big thanks to Music Junkie for putting in the effort to seek and locate the Yamaha 424x Bass Guitar in the very difficult to get hold of 'Metallic Red' which is a beautiful but a rare colour to get hold of now. I rang many music shops who sell Yamaha Basses before this but they did not bother to find out or to try and order it from the European Yamaha Warehouse like music Junkie did. \n\nThey did however; tell me that it could take at least two weeks. In actual fact it took longer, up to four weeks. When I enquired, I got a phone call back from a very professional sales lady with first class negotiating and persuasive skills who quickly explained the delay without any waffle, which made sense and assured me that I would have it by the date given. I eventually received the bass as mentioned and was completely blown away with the quality of its superb metallic red colour and set up and came very well packaged. \n\nWell, what else can I say, in the end - this bass was well worth the 4 week wait and was glad I was persuaded not to cancel the order by the excellent sales women (the company should keep hold of this individual to the best of their ability! Anyway - I am very happy with my product and would buy again from this shop/store, thank you Music Junkie!\n
