You cannot expect to sell it if you cannot even play it...

There is no way that neck should ever get to be in that kind of condition unless they just don't look after their inventory.
How many turns will this one need?

YIKES!

 

[Stumbo]

That may be a world's record.

Their new slogan should be "Bend it like a banana".

 

[beaglesandbass]

Whew. I think even my starter bass that came in one of those bass/amp combo packs had a straighter neck than this. And that was made by Crate.

 

[okcrum]

It looks like it's tuned up a fourth.

 

[JRA]

yikes!

 

[Gorn]

They don't care. They should but they don't.

 

[flojob]

On the bright side, those frets will be immaculate

 

[dxb]

You could shoot an arrow with that bow.

 

[4001]

I'd have a hard time shelling out $900 for that.
Nice body at least....

I was just poking around in the store, saw this bass, though I'd try it out and WOAH! It was too funny.
The action at the 12th is just a bit high.

Maybe I should go in next week and see if their 'tech' noticed it and tried to straighten it out.
I bet it was pretty decent when it arrived.... who knows when that was...

It reminds me of a new car on the lot with four flat tires, sitting on the rims.

It's a "Fender Bender".

 

[Radio]

It may have a broken truss rod/nut, no?

 

[4001]

I should go in and make them an offer on the body....

 

[4001]

It may have a broken truss rod/nut, no?

Probably not. Just badly warped.

 

[BaltBass5]

Shocker.....f'ed up gear at GC? Say it ain't so.

 

[4001]

You can see the hump at the body join as well...

 

[4001]

They don't care. They should but they don't.

And NOBODY in the store ever sees it and takes it to the tech.

I'd be like "Holy Fu.. " and just grab the wrench ASAP. That neck is code blue.

 

[buldog5151bass]

Did you mention it to them?

 

[tgriley62]

Their new slogan should be "Bend it like a banana".

What's the best Banana for metal?

 

[Burwabit]

It's set up as a slide bass.
