Thank you. Perhaps a collector, 30-50 years from now, will appreciate your effort. As one of those collector guys, I have to admit, that based on what you have reported, I would have taken the $150 and just smiled.

It is much easier for me to ask "why did this happen" to vintage basses, than it is to actually demand the same of a modern bass. Yes, that means I am a hypocrite. I appreciate you want it right, and I applaud you for demanding it.


Hi affprod, me again, sorry, i just had a thought as I submitted that last post.
as you are a collector could you give me some insight into what you think about Precision in the pics. its a 88/89 MIJ 60's re issue. other players i've talked to have said they are good instruments. I do love playing it but that is just a personal thing anyway.

Regards
Woodman

What's the problem with it? Image


Hi Linnin and Mr Nylon.

ok, I'm being REALLY fussy here but, Two Problems. firstly ( and this is fixable ) the strap button on the bottom of the bass is really tight to get the lock onto. but fender UK have offered to send some out ( Thanks Kris Denhart )

I don't blame you. It's not like it's some cheap instrument. If you're not 100%, then you should have it taken care of, especially if you can.

Secondly, the headstock decal which I think should be one shade of silver has slightly darker bits on the letters r, J and a,s,s. as though they have been shaded in with a pencil. Its gone back to Rimmers Music to be returned to Fender for them to see - it goes tomorrow. Realistically, I don't think they will be able to fix it without re-doing the Headstock. So Hopefully The Magnanimous and Wise people at Fender UK ( yes I am kissing $@! :D ) will swap the bass for me.. Only had it Two days and missing it already.the PB neck feels really fat and slow now :shock:
We pay out our Hard Earned for this stuff so we want it right don't we? I know I do !

I will keep you posted on the outcome.


Get it squared up with Fender, so you like it. It's your bass, not anyone else's. Yep, the hard earned, Don't Come Easy.



Ok so I've got an update on the Jazz. Fender have offered me £150 off the cost of the bass to accept the fault in the lettering, but are prepared to replace the strap buttons. OR I can have a replacement but I will have to wait 8 Weeks....so...I am gonna wait. As much as the discount seems ok to me. I would never be completely happy with the bass as it is. That would be something that would irritate me more and more as time goes on. One the bright side tho', only got 7 and a half weeks to wait now! :roll: hoping it will arrive sooner.



Hi Guys, FINALLY, the Jazz has arrived and its perfect ! - just thought I would let you know. First Band Rehearsal with it tomorrow night. Can't Wait.
