    Seller wants his bass back?

    I sold an sb902 advanced pilot that I had bought brand new in 1989 to a friend. Always missed it. I have not seen my old friend in 20 years. Heard he died 10 years ago and I still know his brother who is on FB. Never had the balls to call and ask if it was around and if I could buy it back. Just...

    How long do you give a store to not respond after a purchase? Should I be worried?

    What do you hate more, A phone call or losing 3 large?

    New bass, neck defect/blemish, worth keeping? (RESOLVED)

    Originally I thought it looked like frets were never really dressed I now see what you are referring to on the fret board. If it’s a local shop bring it back and get one that is cosmetically correct Say something now to the shop for sure

    Body blank weight Vs. Finished weight

    If unloaded body weighs 4 lbs @13/4” thickness. Theoretically 4/1.75x1.5 =3.43lbs or .57 lbs /1/4” unloaded body weight sustain would most likely suffer and Watch balance as you could wind up with a neck heavy useless bass

    Proof that the neck has a big impact in tone.

    Red body with rosewood sounds best

    NBD...I'm kinda pissed...what would you do?

    Get some tuner cleaner and spray inside the pots -see if that cleans up the scratchy pots Set the action the way you know it should be and dig in for a sweet ride
