PaulThePlug Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago (edited) We are yet to see the headstock... Are the tuners in line, or has 'our man who shall not be named' has moved abroad? 🤣 Serious Q. Why not a Squier (or Fender) Jaguar and an Electronics Mod? Edited 5 hours ago by PaulThePlug Quote

The bridge doesn't have adjustable string spacing. Unfortunately, from the various angles in all 3 photos, it consistently looks like the bridge is a tad too far to the right of the neck, you can see it from how the E string doesn't align with the pickup and the general look of the strings across the neck, but probably most obvious when looking at the truss cover. It's an awful lot of work that is going to be needed to get all of this right, before he lifts a finger I would ask for a full schedule of the works he is doing, if you're insistent on going through with the repairs and not demanding a refund/heavy discount. 2 Quote

The bass is on its way back to the builder at no cost to me and I have been assured that it will be repaired and made perfect. I only shared the ugly aspects of it but it's not all bad, the bass plays really well and the neck is beautiful. It also looks awesome as long as you don't look too close. 😅 I'm not making excuses for him because obviously it should all be perfect. I am giving him a second chance because I did a lot of research on this guy and have spoken personally to someone who owns one, for some reason it seems like I got unlucky. I really want this bass and if it's not perfect I can always send it back again for a full refund although I pray that it doesn't come down to that. If I had a feeling that he was consistently putting out shoddy work and scamming people it would be a different story. He seems to be keen to make amends so fingers crossed. Yeah the bridge does look a little too far to the right @Kev 1 Quote
