Does dropping the bass chat bomb work??! I know I’m probably going to have a bit of a battle on my hands. As I say I won’t get it back until tomorrow. I’m pretty convinced the pickup will be ok as it has been replaced. The fret is my biggest worry. They sent it off somewhere else to be fixed due to the pickup being totally dead. They said that the other place couldn’t find any issue with the fret… bare in mind I could feel it when playing and could see a black line (tiny) on the fret, there was clearly something wrong. If that isn’t fixed then it’s defo going back for full refund. I’ve never run into an issue like that before (the fret) but I can only see 2 ways it will have been fixed- new fret or buffed. If it’s buffed then it’s had some life taken out of it and it might be lower than the others

Given the bass came with a card in it stating it had been inspected- covering electronics, set up etc I feel there is a good reason to stand my ground with them. If it comes to it, yes I’d just get a refund, however if it goes back it’s likely to be sold as bgrade for a fair whack less

From a retailer

It’s a Schecter sls evil twin. They said they couldn’t replace it. Not sure why, maybe they just don’t deal with Schecter anymore. It was cheaper than other places by 50-70 quid. Wasn’t labelled as b-grade or anything either.

I just wanted to ask for some advice on an issue I’ve stumbled into. purchased a new bass in July. When it arrived I plugged it in and found that the bridge pickup was dead. I also found a nick/burr/mark in the first fret. I informed the retailer of the issue and sent it back to be fixed. It has been away just short of 5 weeks and I have been assured it is in working order. Won’t have it in my hands until tomorrow. Obviously I aren’t happy to receive it in the condition I did and want to go down the route of a partial refund- if it is all in perfect order as it should be. All I want to know is if anyone else has had this kind of issue and gone down the route of partial refund. Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi all I’ve been playing for about 25 years (never had to work that out before 🤮) Always stuck to 4 strings and all out funk. Used a plectrum for about 4 minutes over the 25 years. All I ever wanted to do as a kid was the bass fill in Rose Royce’s ‘car wash’. At that point I didn’t even know what a bass guitar was, never mind slapping!
