Mine had the same issue with the G tuner, not a big deal but it's gone now anyway ( couldn't deal with the pickups & neck dive ) but I see these have gone up in price again, paid £364 for mine which was a bargin but now they're up to £455.
I wouldn't gig a 15k bass for the gigs we do, I'd hate to see it getting all the wear & tear my basses get, it would be different if it was jazz or church music.
Nobodies going to steal me or knock me over or spill beer on me (well maybe the last one).
I know they're good basses, I had a white one but Sam Ash were doing B stock models for just over $320 before christmas http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/bstock-opinions-please-1037661/ going to hurt the used market.
