40hz Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) I recently purchased some DR Fatbeams from Amazon (through DR's Amazon store) and also dispatched by Amazon, so the real thing. Opened the set up today 2-3 weeks later, and not only was the A-String completely and utterly dead (to the point it didn't even sound like a bass string at all) but they packaged two G strings instead of a D (so, E-A-G-G). Absolutely woeful QC - I've never had a bad string in 20 years until today! When it rains, it pours! Edited July 2, 2023 by 40hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I think Amazon will still take a return that late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't believe how a single packet of strings could be so 'wrong'! 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 As their boxes are easy open I wonder if an Amazon warehouse employee has been mucking about a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
