News : Buyer beware
strahany writes"saw this note from Venue music (SYDNEY) - thought the MELBAND community could benefit:
I AM GETTING WORRIED ABOUT THE AUCTION RIP OFFS
AUCTION SITES as you know I have written about auction
sites before but in the last few months the number of FAKE guitars has been showing up is really alarming They must think we in Australia are a lot of really stupid people
GIBSON’S EPIPHONES FENDERS all the TOP guitar brands. Its bad enough to get ripped off with a NO-NAME brand but to get cheated and disappointed when you thought you had purchased the real thing are actually criminal. Now these guys who are selling this crap are usually in CHINA and Hong Kong. Hiding behind e mail address That they change often and the chance of getting any thing likes a refund is ZERO
How can any body believe you can buy a Gibson or Fender for starting price of .99 cents, But wait check the freight $400 usually what crap!!!!!
More importantly this is a blatant rip off and when the lump of wood they call a guitar arrives there is nothing you can do. You have done your dough, Also worse there are now Australian people buying the rubbish and then reselling them on to the public on the same auction site. Shame on them .Why don’t they go rob a bank or something that takes more guts than stealing the hard earned dollars from honest folk like this.
Be careful folks, no one with 1/2 a brain and 2 seconds thought can believe you can buy a Gibson or Fender etc for something like $3/400. It is B/S and you will be the loser I saw an ad for a "BRAND NEW STANDARD STRATOCASTER MADE IN MEXICO" "BUT the idiot put PRODUCT OF CHINA in the ad HOW DOES THAT WORK ? MADE IN MEXICO; PRODUCT OF CHINA? DUH !!!!!!!!!! STUPID YES BUT NOT AS STUPID AS THE POOR DUMMY WHO BUYS ONE AND FINDS OUT ITS NOT REAL.
And cannot do anything about it You have NO PROTECTION OR RIGHTS ON THE AUCTION SITE AS THE SAY. BUYER BEWARE!!!!! AND THEN WHEN I DID COMPLAIN TO THE AUCTION SITE PEOPLE THAT THIS STUFF WAS FAKE ETC THERE REPLY TO ME WAS "WE DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE PRODUCTS WE ARE NOT EXPERTS AND WE JUST HOST THE ADS" IN OTHER WORDS, TOUGH LUCK DUMMY ! BE CAREFUL BUY FROM AN AUTHORIZED FENDER OR GIBSON EPIPHONE ETC! STORE THAT YOU CAN GET SERVICE AND THINGS FIXED IF THEY NEED IT AND KNOW YOU ARE GETTING THE REAL THING. PLUS THE GUITAR COMPANIES STAND BEHIND THEIR DEALERS THE FINE BRAND NAME GUITARS GO TO A HUGE AMOUNT OF TROUBLE TO BRING THE BEST TO THE MARKET .THE HIGHEST QUALITY THEY CAN AND EVERY DAY THERE REPUTATION RIDES ON THERE PRODUCTS.
DON’T LET THIS CLEARLY ILLEGAL FAKE B/S COPY BUSINESS RUIN 100"S OF YEARS OF GOOD GUITAR MAKING .YOU WILL BE REWARDED BUY INCREASING VALUE AND MORE IMPORTANT THE PLEASURE OF PLAYING A FINE INSTRUMENT.
TAKE CARE BUY CAREFULLY DON’T LOSE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO DON’T CARE AND WILL RIP YOU OFF IN A FLASH KNOWING THEY ARE PROTECTED AND HIDDEN BEHIND THE AUCTION SITEWEB AND A BUNCH OF B/S NAMES THAT CHANGE ALL THE TIME ANY TIME YOU SEE AN AD FOR SOME THING THAT MAY BE A RIP OFF FEEL FREE TO ASK US WE HAVE 25
YEARS OF UNBLEMISHED SERVICE AND 100'S OF 1000’S SATISFIED CUSTOMERS .WE WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH. IF IT’S REAL NO PROBLEM IF ITS A RIP OFF WE WILL TELL YOU QUICK SMART MUSICIANS AND MUSIC FIRST HAS BEEN OUR THING FOR 25 YEARS"

News : Record YR MusicOZ Awards entry LIVE in Melbourne!
VicMUSIC writes"The Musicoz Awards are open and what better way to
enter than record your entry live! There’s limited places to record
your entry live at the Noise bar in Brunswick every Thursday night in July & at Zudio Studio in Clayton on Sunday the 16th & 23rd July!
In
partnership with VicMUSIC, NoiseTV and Zudio Studio, Musicoz is excited
to announce that Melbourne’s unsigned artists have the opportunity to
lay down their tracks to enter the annual Musicoz Awards – Australia’s
biggest Awards for unsigned artists.
Recording in a
professional studio can produce excellent results for bands but there
are those bands and solo artists who are currently either just starting
off and can’t afford studio time or haven’t got home recording
facilities. Not only that, but some performers tend to play better live
and so what better way to get your songs on a CD and enter the Musicoz
Awards at the same time?
“It’s cheap means of recording and it’s
a great way to hear how you sound live,” said Kimberley Hopkins,
Publicist for Musicoz. “It costs $25 per song to enter the Musicoz
Awards and like all entries, if you record a fourth song at Noise bar,
it’s for free. So in a nutshell, the recording is free and you enter
those songs into the Musicoz Awards. It’s that easy!”
By
entering the Musicoz Awards, artists are in the running to win over a
hundred thousand dollars in cash and prizes and industry opportunities
including instruments from Turramurra Music, mastering at Turtlerock,
production deals with Faultline Records, Tone Market and Central
Station Records (to name just a few). Plus other awesome prizes like
recording time at Trackdown, Velvet Studios, Mainstreet and Studio 301.
Check out the website for the humongous list.
Julie
Kilpatrick, President of VicMUSIC heard about the Musicoz live
recordings that were happening in Sydney and wanted to offer the
service to musicians in Melbourne. “I thought it was a great idea and
VicMUSIC wanted to get involved. Our aim is promote the growth and
development of original contemporary music in Victoria, both as an art
form and as an industry, so it was a perfect fit,” said Julie. So
get ready! Contact VicMUSIC now to make a booking on a particular date.
Remember, it’s first in, first recorded for this amazing opportunity.
Entries
for the Musicoz Awards are open until July 31 and the Awards are held
on December 7th in Wollongong, NSW and broadcast on national television.
Performance Bookings: VicMusic: 0410 564 364 (between 9am - 7pm) or info@vicmusic.org.au www.musicoz.org for rules and regulations on entering Musicoz
With thanks and support from VicMUSIC, NoiseTV and Zudio Studio."
