still available?

may I also add, my utmost respect and apologies to anyone who's delicate sensibilities I may have offended. Can we report people for posting off topic b.s. in the middle of a thread that was intended to only be informative? Or do the ones standing up to the jerks get reported for not being...

To those who responded to the OT, thank you. I do believe these are cnc'd, you're right. The pics online just don't show the issues I have, at least none I've seen. Either way, no biggie. Just a heads up to anyone else who was jonesing as much as I was.

$1200 after tax, warranty and expedited shipping. I'll post pics. It really is a shame.

I'm sure it can. I've emailed customer service. I'm just totally turned off by how shoddy it was made. If I pay $1200 I want to be impressed and happy, and I don't want to have to wait another week for a quality instrument. It looks great at first glance..and Once I cheat the faulty pots, it...

had been anticipating this for months! A Gibson "Mosrite" style bass! So I went to my local authorized dealer and ordered a cream finished one, paid extra for overnight because I just couldn't wait, even!! Well when is arrived and I held it..I was severely disappointed. One volume pot was...
