Word man, super lucky… I hope I get mine before the week ends.
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
Pics???
Sorry for the crappy quality, only have a camera phone.
Wow, the wiring looks messy :S
“You get what you pay for…”
Looks like my wiring, lmao… as long as it works, right?
for like 2 month…:wgrin:
how much for that stick anyways? just curious. and damn, those are some FAT wires. speakerwires?
Wiring isn’t that bad; you can’t see in the pic but he used mini zip-ties to bundle a lot of them up. I think the shadows and whatnot make them look thicker than they are, too. I’d say for 60ish+shipping (think it was something like 73 total) it’s a damn good deal. Stick isn’t super gorgeous like some of the builders go for, but it works and it still looks good (and it’s about a third the price of most).
so, Zal once again doesn’t go through with another of his promises… Suprise…
I got my stick today, and I must say, looks very nice, although I couldn’t help but laugh in the condition it came in… I pretty much had to solve a quick puzzle. I’ll post pics later.
Well, I got back $25.00 of the $100.00 I asked in refund. Not the full deal, but at least it’s progress. Hopefully I can get the other $75.00 before the weekend’s over. I really have to get a PS2.
Just curious, what do you mean by that?
Yeah, I could see that being an issue for people who hadn’t worked with sticks before, but it seems like a smart way to ship it to me (and I’m sure there are plenty of people who could help with that on this site if needed). Def saves on shipping costs; I was wondering why he was charging less for shipping than other builders I had ordered from in the past.
hmmm…in this case, i have come faith that I will receive mine sort of soon…i hope i don’t get let down again…
so went through some guilty gear sessions the other night with this stick, and it works like a charm, it’s 100% functional and with just a little bit o’ labor work you get a solid stick (again, the way he shipped it).
Overall, I’m thrilled with my purchase. Long overdue, but at least some of us are getting our sticks. 
Does it come unassembled or something?
yes, please clear up this mystery! how are they shipped?
I am still waiting… Haven’t had a phone call hes picked up yet. This is getting pretty redic after 3 months.
same boat as you my friend…same boat as you…
Yeah, no kidding. This is still beyond irritating. I might be in a better situation than you guys since I got part of my payment back, but that’s the key bit. It’s only partial payment. It’s hard for me to fathom that Zal was so unprepared that he couldn’t pay us back (in full or otherwise) when we wanted a refund.
