I had to rib ya
I've never been patient enough to take that many pics when I got a new bass. Just enough to post a NBD here after I've opened it or got it home from the store and played it.

I'm waiting on sound samples, of which again, I've never been patient enough to do it myself for my basses and NBD posts.They'll be more. Don't worry

Beauty. I actually kinda like that paint drip. It does look like a girl’s freckle and the bit of figure in the top ~2” left of the bridge pickup looks like a dimple.
I’m a week late on nbd pics & recording of my Trib Fallout. How’s your nut slots? I’ve got nearly 0.025” to the first fret while fretted at #2&3.

Looks like a great playing J. Love the Jeezy touch knobs. They're cooler than the OE ones for sure. Go rock it.
Congratulations on your new bass. Sucks about all the blemishes but as long as you like it, that’s all that matters.
PS: Toe police must be on vacation.

My D seems low. I can't believe they charge so much for such shotty workmanship. High would be no big deal at all, I've got files. Low is terrible. But, whatever dude. I ain't paying to send it back, and maybe get something worse. I gots Jeezy skills. It'll be bad when I'm done

Nope, sending it back. Neck pocket's also cut too deep and too wide, neck sits too low and moves left and right about an eighth an inch in the pocket, and the truss nut stripped. The Allen key wasn't the right size. Bs dude. Little cosmetic problems, no big deal. If I can't get it set up, or make adjustments later, no dice. I guess I'm eating shipping and damage fees. I'm buying a Fender dude. Should've to begin with.
I can't believe they let this trash outta factory, or that MF would send it to me. Crazy man.
I bought a Benton for $125. Shipped to me from Germany in 4 days. Perfect. This thing's trash, and it took a week and a half to get to me.

This is a tribute, right? I'm not at all justifying any blemishes but those tributes are a great value! I had a JB-2 that I recently traded on another bass. I miss that bass already. If it plays well and sounds good, I'd be happy. As others have said, the next one might not..Congrats! Yeah, definitely seems B stock, but I never owned a G&L. Is this typical?
Anyway, glad it feels and plays well. That’s what counts.
The shipping box made me wonder why I spend so much time double boxing a bass, already in a hard case, when I sell one. That’s the most worrisome aspect of that transaction, to me. Is that how G&L ships basses?
Glad it arrived without damage.
Having worked for Eathan Allen in one of their hardwood furniture manufacturing plants, I have a rough time understanding that lack of quality.
However, that is one fine instrument ya got there. Congrats!
Yep I'm getting flamed for this post..
I've never met a G&L I liked. Tribute or straight up American made. Yeah you should of got the Fender. Whether I've bought off the rack or ordered from Sweetwater, They've always been winners. The only Fender I've parted with in the last 10 years was a MIM Jazz and a couple of American Standards (A Jazz and a Precision). The MIM was just garbage but the American's were 4 stringers and I left 4 string behind 2 years ago. All 5's now. 2 American Pro's and an American Pro II. Soon too be a second American Pro II in the stable as soon as I can find it. I have an old Mike Lull but that's just a different animal.
