Hey all.
I've been thinking about getting another bass. Currently I just have a Yamaha, I belive it is RBX170 (don't have it with me, just looking for one that looks similar).

Rondomusic have a sweet look 5-string fretless for $225. I'm a little suspicious of the price... I have heard that some people needed there to get repaired, and rondomusic did it without hassle, but I live in canada, and it looks like it will cost $80 to ship. Thats alot extra to send back for repairs. I've heard of screws being loose/stripped, neck not straight etc. Are those problems easily fixed on my own or cheap to fix at a local store like Tom Lee or Long&Mcquade?

Anyway, thanks in advance for any input you guys give me.

I bought a b-stock one and had none of those issues. If the neck on a neck-thru has issues you need to send it back, period. Everything else, should be repairable. I love mine! :hyper:
