    Martin BC 16 e vs Fender Kingman V2

    Yes I could return it to GC but would not get replacement due to backorders out several months. Would have done that way back in December, otherwise. That was why I was stuck making several trips to luthier.

    Martin BC 16 e vs Fender Kingman V2

    First time post. So I recently purchased a Martin acoustic bass (16 BC e). While it feels and looks nice, is fairly loud for an acoustic, I have been to the luthier four times . Twice for replacing/repairing the piezo and fret work. Also on the E and A strings they get a little flat after the...
