Sold my fretless Musicman Stingray to Glenn, top bloke and a super smooth transaction. Friendly, courteous and excellent communication. Thanks again Glenn!! Cheers, Steve.

Hi All, I purchased a Squire Sonic P bass in California blue over the last weekend and it promptly arrived on Monday via a courier. Upon opening and admiring the lovely blue finish I took the QC tag off the tuner and gave it a quick once over. I checked the finish and all seemed fine until my observant wife noticed a very small chip to the paintwork n the underside of the body, annoying but I can live with it. I then I checked the neck and frets, neck fine and the odd “rough” fret but nothing I can’t easily remedy and then checking the tuners noticed that four of the screws on two separate tuners were only screwed halfway in. Considering it came with a fully approved, signed off QC tag, just what quantifies as a fail!? ok, it is a £130 squire that I bought as a practice and back up P bass. So, am I expecting too much, or is this standard for a Squire these days, in terms of quality control. I have photographed and reported the issues to the store and Fenders/Squires customer service, just to see the reaction. After fixing the issues, she plays like a dream, so I won’t be returning, perhaps I can put the chip down as road worn! 😉 Cheers, Steve.
