Reply to New bass, (copy pasted)

[Jeremy Crockett]

I’m so confused now.

You aren't the only one, brother.

But for now, as Im waiting for a wood burning tool, after using sandpaper and oil, it looks like this:

- And sounds very nice with tone+volume at 50%

I have pics... Of how ugly this bass looks when I got it - and all the reviews I watched on youtube and read on forums spoke of how perfect it was. I mean, should I post them here? Does it matter? The screws where not tights, the knobs wobling, the neck not smooth - like someone scraped a rough file over it, but after I cried for 2 days, I did what I could and fix those issues, oiled and sandpaper, but things like this cut made by a drunk I couldnt fix: View attachment 4715821

I think this confirms my troll thread theory.

TROLL. THAT IS A PIC OF A LINED FRETLESS BASS. WITH A PIEZO UNDER SADDLE BRIDGE. It does not 'ave single coil pickups (s) my boy.

But you’re talking about fret buzz and the 60 cycle hum from single coil pickups. Your bass has neither of those…

I think its a responsiblity if you can call it that, which we all share, as consumers who buy and want to buy "crap" - if everyone stopped buying single coils because of the hum issue, Im sure they would invent something better.

Um, wrong again. Not crap or millions of players wouldn't use them. There are other options too.

You are probably right.

It would seem several of them have fallen out of the OP himself?

I doubt it… but I’d be willing to bet that “internet expectations” may have clouded his judgement or skewed his reality.

- You are right. I just bought a bass, and didnt start to play yet. I have those issues on my mind and I think to much about the world and why it is like it is.

Many of you think I should conform and just settle in, but I just cant. I cant accept the bad things and just because there is a pletera of a market who wants to buy bad things, I honestly dont think the fault lies in either party, the buyers or the factories.

Im agitated, and excuse me, but it was hard to find an instrument to fit my needs atm, and then after changing strings from metal to nylon I find this persistent and annoying issue, and Im just boggled, amazed how come it havent been fixed and solved after years.

One more time, please post a pic of your special bass, that closeup pic tells us nothing, so we can see how it compares to our inferior ones, not to mention the nylon strings you seem reluctant to tell us about.
I'm guessing you bought a dud and should have returned it.
Then, you can simply do what most beginners do...go to a few stores and try out a few dozen basses before falling prey to an online seller.

My prerequistes were those I told about, and what I didnt want, and then I did buy this

And I hope, that in the future, when my playing as I evolve, I am able to find even better than this, - and thats what I mean, and why Im so aggitated

And that's the problem with kids today!

I never needed the Interwebs to have unrealistic expectations or to cloud my judgment. I did all that by myself.

Dude, just go away. Being a troll is no way to go through life, son.

Why don't you play keyboard instead? All of your problems have been addressed. They don't make fish that tastes like nachos. So if you like nachos don't eat fish.

You are making no sense, in any way.. why on gods green earth would you not return a "defective" product.
An "ugly" poorly made one?
And what do you plan on doing to that poor (imho) beautiful bass WITH A WOOD BURNER?

Delete your account and just stop playing bass. It’s not for you.
