Do I accept the partial refund for a bowed neck?

$35 wouldn't even buy you a photography lesson.

Glad you got it refunded.

That poor bear, with a zipper in back of his head!

That's bad brains bear. Other brains are available, in all the fender colors.

It probably hung on the wall at a store for a couple of years with a horrid set up and bowed neck and got “settled” in that way. I would return it if it’s not correctable. That said, even expensive basses sometimes come with high spots, etc that need corrected or leveled out. I bought a 2018 Stingray Special that ended up having a slight dip on the treble side of the neck. A Luthier corrected it and it plays like a dream now, however I wouldn’t have gone to that expense for a lower end bass.

Reverb or Ebay? If a music store let us know so we avoid it.

Return the bass and get your full refund . The seller should have informed you of the problem . I got lucky fixing a bowed neck once . I ended up placing weights on the neck for 2 or 3 months in my warm garage and it fixed the problem.......then I sold the bass ......RETURN THE BASS !

This is easy, return it.

If the truss rod is tightened all the way in those pics, the neck is toast. Return it.

no, hell no. I can work around a lot but undisclosed neck/truss issues are an automatic return.

Hi all, I recently bought this new fender player precision bass. It is made in 2021(I guess display model), came with a bowed neck, and a small ding(don't care that much).
If I tighten the truss rod all the way, it is kinda straight. They offered a 35 dollar partial refund. Should I accept it or fight for a better refund or return it. Thank you!

UPDATE: Asked for a 300 refund or return, they accepted the return

$35 partial refund

The last the amount of the refund the seller is going to offer you will completely cover the cost of a new neck as well as a trip to a Luthier to have it set up and dialed in, then return it. Regardless of what the seller may have said there is absolutely no way that they didn't know that the trust rod was maxed out. You have buyer protection through both reverb and ebay and if you bought it from someplace other than those two sites you still have recourse if you use PayPal or from your credit card company.

They accepted the return

Good, GOING FORWARD, buy used from Guitar Center, ask salesperson to get the bass & ask questions, sometimes they will even check the truss rod for you. if any issues or you even don't like it you can return it. I have returned 2.

Early 00s MIMs still go dirt cheap

It would have been a bad deal even with a $300 refund.

I might consider a $300 refund. You can get a Warmoth neck for that.
