Yep, I bet it's factory pretuned. But on the up side I think it's only about a 3 day turn around when you have to send it back for adjustment.

Okay, unless I passed over something, it could've been been built a year ago and already be out of warrenty!

Looks like you are paying for the pickups and nothing else. That bass is ugly!

It looks like someone saw a Precision Bass once and only once, then tried to build it from memory.

I think OP is giving the seller too much credit calling that mistake deliverate. More like Spot te underpayed Photoshopper who got carried away removing the background.
