Hi folks
Can’t return a bass I’ve had for two years.
Of course after two years nobody can return a bass for a refund. (wouldn' that be cool?
)
That begs the question if , as you state “ left the factory this way “ why wait over 2 years to reach out for Fender’s help?
Don't be so harsh!
happens! There are millions of basses played by folks
who don't have a superfast low action! If they don't solo all the time above the 14th fret, they will never find out
that the neck is a problem child => only a low action setup will show that!
A little buzz can be just a high fret.
Of course @scubajosh77 should (or could) have reacted earlier.
Fender offered a replacement neck (I would have been thrilled
)...
But the brand new replacement neck for the exact model not fitting the neck pocket? Uhh… scuse me? I strenuously doubt that.
... but the neck didn't fit, said the authorized Fender tech
(chosen by Fender!)
=> I would have been pissed too! (this is soooo Fender)
But, and this is very cool a Dakota Red replacement is on the way.
Fender has been building basses for a long time! And they still have the same problems.
In 2025 they will likely show up with a whole bunch of anniversary models
featuring a whole bunch of nice colors.
First thing to do when you buy one => take it to a luthier!
You’re really emotional about this aren’t ya?
For me it's a laughing and a crying eye, each time someone tells a Fender story
heads up!
