NEW P BASS-BOAT ANCHOR

[SDMFJay]

I agree that it is frustrating about not having a brand new bass completely not work...but +1 to ALWAYS TEST RUN a new bass BEFORE a gig, and... +1 to I think you are over-reacting just a tad and... +1 to using ALL CAPS LOCK on an email to ANY company looks like spam mail to them and most likely will be deleted before the first word is ever read.

COOL - WHAT KIND OF BOAT DO YOU HAVE?

He doesn't have one yet. But when he gets a boat he will take it out on the water untested and it will run out of gas. Then it will sink!

I'm very confident he got the optional slap-switch that makes sure only major keys are playable.

What happened to the OP? Haven't heard from him in a while

Like gjbassist said, he went out on his new untested boat to try out his new boat anchor...

And is now swimming on the bottom of the sea!

Maybe he is hanging out with SpongeBob and Patrick giggling away!

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

I have had this happen before. I quickly solved the problem by reinstalling Windows.

Never take an untested axe to a gig. Good thing you brought a spare. Hope you had fun playing.

I DID SEND THAT TO FENDER,1200 IS NOT ALOT OF MONEY TO SOME,BUT WHEN I PONY UP FOR AMERICAN QUALITY,I EXPECT TO GET IT.THEY WONT CARE ANYWAY-ILL TRY A REAL THUNDERBIRD THIS TIME AND SEE HOW THAT GOES.AS FAR AS GIGGING OUT,I HAD 2 OTHER BASSES THERE,IM JUST SAYING-IMAGINE THE FRUSTRATION OF BRINGING YOUR NEW BEAUTIFUL TOY,AND IT DOES NOT WORK

HAVE A BAD KEYBOARD HERE-AS FAR AS CAPS GO---CAME TO THE WRONG PLACE TO GET CHEERED UP-YOU GUYS JUST WANT TO KICK PEOPLE IN THE NUTS..

Man, not kicking you in the nuts, but you really should have gave it a test run before taking it to a paying gig.

I'd have have been pissed off too, but it wouldn't have been at a gig...it would have been in my house.

+1. Stuff happens. I have had pickups die on Sadowsky and Roscoe basses. High quality manufacturers, but parts fail.

I don't think Fender QC is necessarily the issue, parts get jarred in shipping and solder can come unattached....

Say what you will about caps lock, 1200$ is way too much for a doa American bass. Patience is not what you are paying for, he'll its a p bass, the simplest and most strip down of all basses and it still didn't work out of the box.

I just found my Sunday morning humor. Not in the plight of the OP but this will all work out I'm sure. The replies are freakin' hilarious!! Love it.

Yeah the never plugged it in at home before getting to the gig thing was a no-no. Lesson learned I'm sure.
