It isn't a bass, but I thought I'd give a brief update on the Santos Series C-40SCE Deko.
Seemed to have a few dings on the body (splinters of wood rattling around inside), but cosmetically ok, looks nice.
At least one of the frets wasn't fully down. I decided to try a preliminary set-up - the neck was fairly flat (with a very faint kink in the wrong direction) so tried to adjust the "two way truss rod" to give a slight bow - this seemed in fact to only offer adjustment in the direction I didn't want, and ended up succeeding in only removing the nut from the end of the truss rod. Given the neck pretty flat this wasn't fatal though, so I tuned the strings up to pitch to see if it might help and it is more or less playable.
I'll try and record the sound, interested to hear what the fishman sounds like.
