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

Could it be a case where the job was outsourced to someone who quite frankly wasn’t competent enough?

Any updates?

Thank you for your opinions so far...I am too easy going with such things sometimes and the validation is appreciated. 

 

I have not named the builder yet because I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger and have only heard good things about his work, so this really seems to be an anomaly. Once all is resolved I will consider sharing the details.

 

On the positive side it does play well and sounds good despite the issues.

 

 

 

It’s either a prototype or it’s a custom. I’m confused.. if it’s custom, it should be exactly what you asked for, but great quality. 
if it’s a prototype it’s not custom and whilst it may not be exactly what you wanted but it doesn’t take much effort to tart up those faults.
