Unfortunately complete radio silence from the seller on this one. Heard he is a decent legit seller. But if you sell a cab and don't acknowledge the sale or reply to any messages for 4 days including a text message I don't hold out much hope on this. Email address just bounced back too..
He has perfect feedback and I know someone who has baught from him before. But I think this one is a dud. £550 in the hole at present.

This guy was a mess around when Martin picked up mine. He had to send his brother in law twice because they got no answer after driving there. Also ended up sending a different cab to the one in the listing. I did eventually get a u4 from him though although a lot of screen burn that it wasn’t meant to have. I do have his number if you want it pm me.

Yeh because there are other u4 in the photos seems he has a few ..
I asked him about the others and got no reply at all .. so just left it at that ..
Nothing in 4 days is a bit strange ..
We all keep an eye on our stuff you would have thought he would have answerd you back by now ..
EBay will protect you anyway ..
I’m sure you’ll get your money back if total radio silence from him .
Shame as the cabs deserve fixing
I was considering one but he just didn’t reply to my messages at all.

Really odd as he was good as gold when I got mine off him. Couldn't have been more helpful but agreed a bit slow on the messages. I believe Stokers had no trouble either.

That’ll be a real shame if he doesn’t come through. I hope it’s just crap communication rather than a rip off.
Would be great to see another one of these cabs in a loving home!
Got the refund back off ebay today. The guy never replied to anything I sent to him. I know some people did ok, but I would 100% suggest avoiding him in the future. I gave so many opportunities for him to reply. It was the last thing on his site so he might have just shut down his operation a left the listing up. I'd still like a project Candy so open to suggestions. I had an OK Baby that I probably should have kept.

That sucks man, sorry it didn't work out for you. I'm restoring two of these at the moment and would have offered one to you but i've already done a lot of the work and bought all the parts I need for them so may as well just finish them now.
Glad you got your money back though!

I'm shifting my sit down driver out soon because after a lot of soul searching I just need the room back but its not a project.
I'd say Naomi is the way to go for a good project. A chopped one makes a great 'candy-esque' cab and they also have the versatility of being able to add a steering CP and pedal board and changing it up to a driver.
Although I got mine ok, it was problematic. Emails and messages went into a black hole, never heard back on questions etc, then suddenly there would be a bit of information followed by silence again for the next few days.
I found it frustrating, felt like I was really taking risk. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

Yeah that's a good shout, and......I actually own a Naomi Universal already. I need some chopped legs though. Thought I had some but they went to someone else. Turn it into an 18 Wheeler and be the big man dad always wanted me to be (joke)
