It crossed my mind that perhaps a defective batch went out, because we got ours around the same time. It seems ours actually have different problems, so it's probably just coincidence.
I share your amazement at this. My U.S. Fenders -- which in the eyes of many have spotty quality -- all have simply outstanding necks. I thought G&L was supposed to be a step up.
Hope yours works out. I'll certainly post when I get mine back, and report on the service.

Call me at the store regarding your bass. With a problem like that G&L would probably want to replace the neck for you. And they just started using a Plek machine at G&L so these kinds of issues should pretty much vanish from here on out. |

Cheers,
Chris

Jim | You'd probably get a pleked neck if they replace the neck but it sounds like that one just needs the neck pocket cut deeper. It might be worth asking, though. I'll see Steve's bass when it arrives and that will be the store's first Pleked G&L neck. My L2500 Custom is at G&L getting a new neck which should be Pleked as well. I was going to sell it when it came back but I might just keep it now, depending on the GAS funds. |

| Bah! Single coil sounds like crap. Send that to me so you do not have to suffer the horror.
Lucky, lucky, lucky man
