Sorry for the delay replying haven't been on Basschat for a while.
Yes, there were a few faults, worst was the nut protruding a good 2 or 3 mm on the E string side. As I have a dremel and a selection of diamond files I fixed it myself.
My bridge seems fine with regard to string alignment , locking screw means Bridge is upside down as you say.
This is the same on a Fallout Tribute that I bought second hand a while ago, this also had a few ropey bits finish wise.
I'm wondering if Guitar Guitar decided to unload some B-Stock which does seem a bit underhand! Did you keep or return yours? Almost wish I'd picked up a Jack Cassady instead but happy enough.
However they both play and sound great though I'm going to tweak the set-ups and maybe out some flats on the Fallout. Thought I'd given up 4 strings?!!
Edging steadily towards too many Basses having picked up 2 acoustics as well in last few months.
