Disappointing new bass day...I would appreciate some opinions.

It’s the Letts bass thread all over again!

Shonky work delivered to a customer who can’t be bothered to stand up for himself.

Unless you name the builder, this thread is pointless. If it’s supposed to serve as a warning, it doesn’t with those details.

You’ve already decided it’s unacceptable or you wouldn't have posted it.

Get a grip and send it back for a refund and go somewhere else.

….which is exactly what I thought when I read the first post. I think the reality is other bass players might currently be committing money to a luthier who might be about to go Full Letts….

That is absolutely shocking and should be rejected. It's damaged! 

There's absolutely no pride in that work at all. Did someone really look at that and say, "that's good to go, he'll be over the moon with that."?
