"grumpy old farts club" you don't say?

 

[JoeWPgh]

Actually, it's just far enough off that it should be a fairly easy and invisible fix. It looks like the Estring/bridge side screw could stay and the pup could be rotated to the correct position and re-screwed, with the wrong holes hidden under the bezel. With a deep discount, it could be a very nice deal.

As they rightfully should, I walked into NAMM a couple years ago and he was slap wanking at the Hartke booth about 20 feet inside the entrance, it was so terrible I turned around and walked out and came back an hour later when I knew he'd be done indulging himself.

Can we call it “swanking” though?
You did the right thing, glad you survived!

Swanking sounds too positive! But I digress...

Yes, with the Yin Yang Fretboard.

That pickup is slanted as to enhance strong response. Everyone knows that.

I got an email from them the other day about a couple limited edition Rickenbackers they were getting in stock and called my rep right away to inquire, he told me they were all sold out/on standby hold but he could check and see if they could get me another on order - I had to laugh before I hung up on him.

At least you got an email teasing you...., I didn't even get that from them.

This bass with the crooked pickup does not qualify for any kind of blem discount from Sweetwater! hahahaha

It's not a blem. It's a F up. Did you ask about a F up discount?

 

[IngloriousOz]

No the sweetwater rep said "Wow, look at that it's definitely askew!" and when I asked if it'll be sold like that for that price he said "Yes but we've got others if you want a different one"

 

[byoung93888]

You got my interest with the limited Rics that are sold out and we can't have, what limited ones did they have?

They "had" some of those Noirs and "could get" some more supposedly.

Whew, was worried they had some new ones I couldn't live without and could no longer get haha.
