This is a serious problem. Find a real Double Bass Luthier. Get opinions here from Bass-only Luthiers. |

Can't you borrow a buddy's amp for some time until you get the cash to fix it?
It's a shame to see a guy step into the dark side and step out merely for financial reasons. |

The outside linings make it look German, but I've seen some basses from a Korean company based in Shri Lanka, I believe, that have outside linings.
Sometime necs start to come out and then there's a change in temperature and humidity and they kind of reglue themselves. But it isn't right and probably is going to come out at some point.
How much did you pay for it? |

No, probably more like elves or fairies, that only do their work when nobody is watching. |

Most basses are finished this way, applying no varnish to the active part of the back of the neck, or at least no color. Overall, it doesn't look like it's worth fussing over. Take it back. If you can't get your money back, see about an amp!
