NBD Rickenbacker AGAIN horrendous frets

[Bass Viking]

Well it would seem to me that they have little faith in their product and want to get out from under it as soon as possible.

That was my thought. Rickenbackers do tend to sell quickly around here, but still...

Update;

"the third time is the charm"...

Guitar Center Platinum gear advisor sent me a perfect manufactured Rickenbacker 4003SW.

I am 100% satisfied with the outcome.

I knew that Rickenbacker was quite capable of producing a fine instrument.

It is spectacular in every way shape and form!

Very nice, I thought of one of those a few years ago but ended up with a jetglo 4003S. I don't know if they do on the new ones but Ric used to recommend keeping them at tension or at most dropping half a step.
