We're the meat in a country music sandwich; I can't wait to start our set and see how many people walk out. American Witch (Rob Zombie) isn't gonna go over well here.

We used to open the final set with American Witch - into Awake by Godsmack and then The Red by Chevelle. That would clear out anyone that wasn't there to rock :D

15 minutes of loud drop C crunchy fun. :bassist:
 
I'm in the process of talking to the seller now. It appears it was sent without a box with the tape around the case to keep it secure and people out of it. Upon further inspection of the case, I noticed that both ends are kinda not working. Here are some pics:

(Yes that's me as a young'n playing goalie back in the day :p

I really don't believe that the seller shipped me the case with two layers of tape in this condition. That would be an absolute joke. Somebody must have stepped on the case IMO, there is no way I would ever let a bass ship out in a case like that.

It was a used bass, with a used case, and I am starting to really worry that UPS will deny this claim based on no boxing. Both of my parents keep telling me that UPS sold him the tape and packing peanuts, and accepted the package like this, not to mention it's not broken from being tossed around, it's clear weather damage so they're quite certain everything will work out. Who knows.

This whole situation has left me with a sour taste in my mouth and you bet I would've played my new bass for hours already but like you said, I really don't want to get attached and have to let it go because of this. I can tell it's a keeper otherwise and it really would suck to send it back but I'll do what I have to do.

Next time I'll order new from Todd :bassist:

I've been away for a while, but I'm sorry to hear about your issues with UPS Duke, I had my own issues with UPS on a Rex that I bought from a store in Winnipeg last summer, ended up sending it back because UPS destroyed it and I luckily ended up getting a refund thanks to a great seller. I feel your pain, and UPS here in Edmonton is just as frustrating with service delays and drivers that never even try to attempt a delivery so you wait for days until you get your item. Hope it works out for you pal.
