I may have had it a month, but I haven't had it for a month.
First off, the bass is beautiful, no question. Plays, balances and primarily sounds lovely (most of the time), but on the downside it has an intermittent crackling/interference issue with the bridge pickup.
Sadly the bass has been going backward and forward between my tech and Mark/Bass Direct and I got it back yesterday.
Happy to report it was fine; I gave it a 30 minute workout with no issues, put it on the stand, picked it up a few hours later and the crackle had returned. It was a bit amiss the this morning, but clear tonight.
I've tried the bass through two rigs and different combinations thereof and will monitor things over the weekend (and take a second bass to a studio session in Landaan on Sunday). If it screws up, it goes back again.
I would point out that Mark at Bass Direct has been handling the issue with gusto, so credit to him.
