Amazon Mustang Bass: What Would You Do?

[Chris_will_do]

I'd dispute it at Amazon or the seller. And see if there's a possible discount based on not being truth full. And then keep it if it plays well and sounds good.

I'd keep it. New Hipshots, new pickups, and a little bit of red nail polish on that chip and you just made that bass your own.

If you bought it to play it, keep it. If you bought it only as an investment or because it was such a great deal, then return it.

I had an Epiphone Jack Casady signature bass that was an MIRC refurb, and it was great. They do wonderful work. Mine played great and sounded great in spite of the fact that it had a different pickup (and probably some other electronic differences) from the original JCSB. I'd still have it except for the fact that I have too many basses and some had to go. That was one of the ones I chose to sell. Having said that, the bass should have been represented as a refurbished instrument, so I'd take the seller to task about that and see if you could get a discount. My seller did not represent the JCB I bought on Reverb as a refurb and wouldn't discount it further because he called it "used." I didn't send it back because it was too good a bass once I received it.
