Sorry you've had a bad experience with a NBD, that's got to be a bad feeling. Was the bass new if so could you send it back?

 

[BassAgent]

That does look wonky and not Sandberg-like at all. If it's new, send it back. You deserve a fault-free bass.

 

[Adimanto]

yes its
New from thoman , yes i can send it back

 

[Emperor Elite]

I've owned several Sandberg basses and they have all been consistently very good. At this price point, the bass needs to be issue free. That weight is also a serious problem. Please send it back immediately.

The dealer sold you a brand new bass and it has all these issues and it's supposed to be brand new!!!! WOW!!!! Your dealer is LAME!!!!

 

[Heisenbass]

Bummer! Send an email to Sandberg with pics and the serial number, even if you return it to Thomann. Their customer service is excellent and they care about their reputation.

 

[CascadeBass]

Return it immediately. This not right.

 

[bikeplate]

So send it back

 

[Mister Magic]

4.7kg = 10lb 5oz. That is very heavy, imo. Fortunately, you can return it.

 

[SpiderBass1965]

Return it. I own 2 California's and they are both in great shape.

 

[ahbradot]

Return to sender...
You need your new bass to fit correctly inside that oversized gig bag.
That new Sandberg bass looks like it's swimming around inside that soft gig bag.

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

I own two Sandberg basses and the quality is very good. I am sorry to hear yours is not.

I would send it back as well. I could deal with the pickguard being slightly off at that location, but the neck heel glue and weight would be things I would not accept.

 

[J Wilson]

Simple.

Return it.

NOT good.

 

[CoughSyrup]

Yeesh. Surprised that got by Thomann as well as Sandberg.

 

[MegaSwing]

Doesn't make sense somehow. That's one of the happening insider brands for years now. I'm wondering what's at the ground floor of this.

 

[Topkat13]

If you are shipping from the US get ready to drop some dough.

 

[Christophe C]

Sens it back, just because of thé weight : too heavy.
With Thomann : just say that you want to send it back. Don't open a case with the defaults, otherwise they Will try to argue and minimise. Just apply their sell policy

 

[Panych]

4.7 kg is huge. Is it ash?

 

[dune]

I would be returning that ASAP.
