Not to be contradictory (but I guess I am) but... with "relic-ing" being such a fad for a while now, there may be those who do want it, especially if it's the real thing. Anyway, you can't hear the checking, unless maybe you're Eric Johnson. 1 Quote
mathman Posted Saturday at 03:07 PM Posted Saturday at 03:07 PM Mine has it too. But since I’ve had the bass since 1985 I am sorta proud of the checking. Very awesome bass. 1 Quote

Sucks to not disclose the actual condition of the bass. 3 Quote
Disturber Posted Saturday at 08:45 PM Posted Saturday at 08:45 PM People pay a lot for dudes to do that to new instruments. With a razor blade or by freezing the body. 🙂 1 Quote
Jakeboy Posted Sunday at 01:42 AM Posted Sunday at 01:42 AM So did you keep it or send it back? I am a little confused and I promise I haven’t been drinking today..,though there is still time! 2 4 Quote

mathman Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Glad you did what you needed to do, but I have to say, I am not up on the price of these basses these days since I have one, but as they say about real estate. They aren't making anymore. As a middle school science teacher I also know that is not true about real estate. But I also know that where it is being made is not always where it is wanted. ramble ramble ramble. Ha! Those are very good basses! Edited 1 hour ago by mathman Quote
