My fretless MTD purchase was neither a bad or good buying experience, I would call it just OK. The bass arrived in need of minor repair to the fingerboard which was not mentioned in the description or PM conversations. The fret lines were higher than the rest of the fingerboard because the fingerboard had shrank which I know due to humidity and so on can happen to a bass from time to time. But the bass arrived unplayable with a buzz from the high fret lines on almost every note, so it cost me another $100 to repair immediately upon arrival. After the $100 fingerboard leveling repair, the bass was back in perfect shape and just like new. Even the bass not being as described would have been OK. But my only issue is that when I emailed the seller about the problem, no response. Eventually, I filed a paypal dispute. He finally replied, refusing to help cover the cost of the repair. I was told to raise the action which did not help. Eventually I won the paypal dispute, but I would have like better communication and some degree of compromise or follow through after the sale.
