Hi guys, I just got the bass I bought. . . well when i saw it everything seemed ok, but i just noticed that the neck was "repaired" and sooo bad repaired, semms like they changed the trussrod because the fretboard is not balanced, there are more glue in dome places and less in others. . and the neck is curved .. so i tried ti adjust it and with the minimal effort the fretboard cracked in the 1st fret . . so now. . can anyone suggest what to do? i dont wanna reclaim money back since would be a lost of time money and effort. . so i just want to go ahead, ideas?

Did you buy it new or used?

I say if you don't want to reclaim the money but still want to get it fixed or repair. i say take it to a guitar tech and see what he can do about it.

yeah. . i'm about to contact Rick here in Mexico ( he is a poster builder here ) and check if he can clone this neck , it would be funny haveing a G&L plate on the body and Rick's logo on headstock xD!

lol that would be interesting. If is play fine and sound good to you then go for it.

Alot of people is like wow your bass sound great but when they see the logo on the headstock then their face change lol
