I’ve always wanted a Peavey 5 string with the super ferrite pickups. I can’t handle more than a 8.5# bass, so I message sellers when I see one to get the weight. I found a dyna bass that the seller says was 8# in reply to my message. I also asked about the action (he said it was low) and if the truss rod works (he said yes). I ended up purchasing it based on that. What I got was a 10.3# bass with high action. (I haven’t tried the truss rod yet…). It also had a gash in the fretboard at the 14 fret under the E string. He initially was willing to accept a return if I paid return shipping, but changed his mind when he saw the fees he still had to cover. He says the weight wasn’t in the description of the bass, so he doesn’t have to accept a return.
I’ve documented all this in the messages with the seller (pictures of the bass on a scale, pictures of the action using a string gauge and a video of me unpacking it showing the gash as I removed the bubble wrap)
I’m waiting to hear back from the Resolutions Team (will take up to 5 business days). Are misrepresentations in the messaging on Reverb covered by the buyer protection policy? If Reverb does side with me, do folks have any tips on what I should do to protect myself during the return process?
