    Crack in Poly

    Took it to luthier. He did a liquid test on crack. Its just poly crack. He also said that seam split creates jagged edges. This crack is smooth. Anyhow its getting fixed for $100. You guys always assume the worst. I was worried. Phew.

    Crack in Poly

    I'm the second owner of this bass so I do not think its under warranty. You guys sound pretty sure that this is a seam/joint separation! that is not what I wanted to hear but it could be. What is a cost of this operation to fix it correctly? I was hoping someone would say its just a poly...

    Crack in Poly

    My bass has a crack on her now. It was not stored in cold or heat. Its a 2001 fender hot rodded P bass. USA made. Is this covered under warranty? If not what is the cost to get it fixed. I do not want chunks coming off. Could the wood under be compromised? :hmm: Thanks
