[i][b]"I used to use this cab with an Ampeg SVT Classic, and it was an unbeatable sound!"[/b][/i] I can well imagine !!

Again, thanks for all the replies fellas. The buzzing starts around the 8th fret on the E, A and D strings. Towards the upper regster, there are a couple of dead notes towards the end of teh neck. As they have agreed to refund me £30 towards a set-up then I think that I'll keep it, my guitar tech charges £30 for a set-up but if there's something minor that can be fixed here then I'd be inclined to have a go myself. To my eternal shame, I've been playing gutiar and bass since I was 13 and never once have I learned how to set up a guitar. I'd love someone to teach me properly as it can save you wads of cash over the years. Maybe something someone could organise - I'd definitley be up for learning.

Well I can drop it about three turns on the G-string and its buzzing like a good 'un. The other strings about one or two turns.

Here's the pics as promised. If anyone can give me any tips on setting up I'd be grateful - I'm about as useful as the pope's knackers when it comes to setting up basses... Apologies for the photo quality - they were done on my mobile.

Surely it would take at most a couple of minutes to check that the truss rod and saddles were adjusted correctly?[/quote] Yep - or even just pick the thing up, give it a couple of minutes playing to see that it was remotely playable and then stick it back in the box. I know you're all taking my word for it on this one so I'll post pics up later of how its been sent and the nut and string height ratio.

It sounds more like the shop simply didn't bother to set it up.[/quote] Correct. As mentioned the bass itself looks OK and the workmanship appears to be OK - its just the set-up. Well I rang Andertons, spoke to a sales assistant and they've agreed to refund me the price of a set-up which is fair enough. Thumbs up for that. They were at pains to tell me that I was the first person to experience this problem with a Musicman guitar or bass which I can believe. They don't inspect every guitar that goes out the door apparently because the sheer volume of guitars they sell wouldn't make this viable.
