Yep, that's had a bash on the strap button alright. Provided you're otherwise 100% happy with the bass, I'd unscrew/remove the button first and if no damage to the wood. Then send this pic to Thomann saying you don't consider it's worth full RRP as received but you may keep it if they refund the difference between A and B stock value. In my experience, their after-sales support is excellent.

It looks like this with the pin removed..

I would certainly report it to the dealer (Thomann?). At the least they might refund you a few quid. It would be a pain to have to send it back though, especially as it is birthday present.

Exactly my thoughts tbh

NBD...for my son's birthday...great in all respects other than it looks like it's had a little drop on the strap button..is it worth sending back?

Definitely legit, I have a fretted version from 2001, made me in Germany, gigged it loads..that price is crazy

It has arrived with Sandberg UK!

 

With a bit of luck it will get into my hands before the weekend!

 

Cannot wait! Just need to buy some good strings for it.

In time for your 50th?

I'm quite enjoying it but Roadies was brilliant I'd re-watch that if I could find it for free..

I notice the delivery is £6.13 and have seen this on other Basses too. Is there a deal with the bay, as I don't think I could find any Courier who would take and deliver a Bass for £6.13....?

I don't know, before any bids this was on a buy it now for £151.. surprised it wasn't snapped up tbh

I don't know if it's identical to the Fender scratch plate, I did have a PJ Mustang for a few years but sold it last year so don't have it to hand for a direct comparison. But Scratch-It suggest that you send in your original plate so they can scan it to produce an identical copy of the shape, which is what I did and the fit was perfect. 

In that case they may well have added it to their dataBASS...

I've had my HB Mustang for around a month now and around an hour ago my new bespoke scratch plate arrived from Scratch-It! I cannot recommend Tim and Scratch-It enough - first class service, excellent communication, most importantly a good sense of humour, plus prices that are a good chunk cheaper than the couple of places that quoted me for a bog standard plain black plate.

 

My original plan was to get a plain 3 ply black/white/black plate for it as I don't like tort, and the stock plate looked particularly hideous against the sea foam green finish, IMO. But for £40 delivered I have something totally unique and looks fantastic too!

 

Is the HB scratch plate an exact copy of the Fender or did you have to scan it to make a template?

Not much in the way of big reduction on bass products though

My closest store is Exeter buts it's quite a trek without knowing what they have and price etc.

Just saw that Musicroom are closing 6 of it's 7 stores with only the Denmark store staying open, I believe there is quite a sale going in those stores..50% off instruments and 40% off everything else.

So did you end up with the refund AND the bass?

Yes, I took some advice from this forum, which was that I could sell it for reasonable market value, if i sold it on I would owe the owner the money, if I chose to keep it I think it would revert to my ownership after 7 years, i kept it packaged ready to send back for 2 years and then sold it when I moved house. I never heard from the seller in that time

Interesting, did you dispute through Ebay or Paypal?

I went through Ebay

Thanks for the replies. I imagine I will have to post the bass back, at my expense. Coupled with the fact that I already paid a lot for postage initially. Does anyone know whether it would be better to go through Ebay or Paypal, seeing as I can't do both (I assume)?

I have had a dispute about a bass I bought through Ebay, not a huge sum involved but the seller dragged the process out to the nth degree. Ebay found in my favour and refunded me, The seller then contacted me asking me to return the bass...no problem but he would have to arrange a courier and pay for the return..he never did in the end.

The live lounge recording needs a camera just for the bass player IMO

Great tone and groove..

There's a link to a Youtube clip showing him 'playing' the guitar fitted with this.

Sounds like an 8 year old who's got hold of his big brothers electric guitar and is trying to impress his Mum.

Utterly deluded. I really don't think other opinions are available.

 

 

Great. Wonderful. Niice. Suuuuuperb👌

Oops got carried away 🤣
