NURZE Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 and I already got a mail back from CS that they're on it... and that they sent an email to export. FINGERS CROSSED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Without wishing to state the obvious that neck is screwed. Hopefully MM will sort you out with a new one. Its really stressful when a neck goes rogue. I owned a Jaydee Supernatural in the 80's that developed a terminal back bow that ruined the instrument. It was literally akin to Robin Hood's weapon of choice. This was found to be down to a rotten batch of Mahogany that JD had acquired. More recently I owned a Lakland that developed a large crack in the neck...it suddenly appeared and was growing every day. Credit where credit is due Lakland shipped me a new neck within days and paid for renowned Luthier Jimmy Moon to fit it and set my bass up with new strings at the same time. Lakland = awesome company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I had what I thought was a misaligned bridge, 1977 Precision brand new. I complained to Fender UK, v prompt and helpful reply. Loosen strings, loosen neck bolts, tap the neck on lower side at headstock, (moves E string side upwards in pocket in rotational movement, increases string to neck edge gap on G string). Retighten neck bolts and strings.

This may be part of your problem, then again may not. Can we have a photo of a straight edge (metre ruler etc) against G (D with your tuning) side of neck. Hope you get the customer service you need.

Musicman20 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Sorry if I have missed the details. Was this bought new? I'm pretty sure if it was, they will change the neck. If it was bought used, they will probably have to charge you for the neck, which is how all manufacturers would work. I've never seen anything like that happen before. All of the necks on my EBMMs have been fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
