Do I accept the partial refund for a bowed neck?

Uh huh. And the fluffy carnage?

Haha I looked right past them…

Those are some avant-garde neck photos. Since the bass issue is sorted, which plushie is the best for metal?

That one in the center made me go "A...."

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

And then you have a partscaster which is harder to sell and worth less money.

I like partscasters and there's more to life than resale value.

There’s nothing wrong with partscasters IF you buy one on purpose. But to buy a Fender instrument at Fender prices and wind up with a partscaster doesn’t make sense to me. Also if he buys a neck and then it doesn’t work with the body for any reason, even just not liking the feel, there’s no returning it.

An option that makes sense indeed.

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

The neck is the skeleton. If it's bad, send it back!

Lol, yea I thought it is BS too, I asked for return and they said they can offer a 35 refund lmao. I actually don't know how much does it cost to fix a wrapped neck

Who is the seller? They deserve to be outed.
