Hey TB, on the fence about this one. Received a used bass via Reverb, Spector Legend Custom. Plays great, BUT it has damage that supposedly happened during transit. Seller offered me a $50 refund to keep it. It had additional wear and a few chips in the neck, but this was not disclosed. See pics. Thoughts?

I see you’re already returning it but do you have pics of the outside of the box?

No pics. The box was beat up pretty bad, but there were no wood chips inside the gigbag. I had to contact Reverb multiple times to actually get my money back, not sure if that's on them or the seller. The seller resold the bass (at a lower price) last week, this time showing all the damage. You can still find the listing, it's a Spector Legend 4. He advertised it as a neck-thru when it's actually a set neck. Another reason it was sent back. He was a super friendly guy, and very responsive. But at this point I can't recommend him as a seller.
