I was so genuinely interested in doing this… I still might order a couple more and take my pick really.

It doesn't seem like it has leaked but it has heavy rust everywhere indeed. I won't want to return as I love everything else (except the knobs) on the bass, and a tedious pack-your-bass-return-await-receipt-send-a-new-one-when-we-check is just far too much that I can bother with. Yeah, first time with something like this - I'll start by thinking of rust cleaning and seeing if I can make do, I guess... Any recommendations/products to clean this? Grabbing some qtips and a new pack of batteries... MOST DEFINITELY. They will indeed have an email coming, this is just off honestly. Worth mentioning that the internal wrapping had my name written on it around the headstock, so the box has been opened/bass has been reboxed/ maybe inspected (but how badly?)

Right... so, the bass arrived. First impressions: * Love the colour and bass itself, dimensions... Neck is better than any Sterling I've had or tried, potentially more SLO/Jazz than I remember in the Stingrays * Weight came in at 4.20kg, I'm happy * Plasticky knobs are sh!t and would replace them, the volume one came awfully misaligned too. * The batteries contact are RUSTY AF and have rust on the contacts of the battery cavity - meaning the active circuitry does not work AT. ALL. * Passive tones work and they're lovely, very MM indeed - the jazz pickup is lower volume but needs raising anyway as it's pretty low now. Well done Andertons, well done... sounds like either the batteries came with no protective film and storage made its work to rust them, or that Andertons unwrapped them and storage still did its thing. Anyone with insight on this? is is a direct return, or should it work? Arrrrrgh...... Ander. PS: of course my first intent is to replace the batteries rather than return, but still... I'll post pictures in a bit!

just when I thought I couldn’t hate on DHL more… no reason or explanation. How whack are these guys really?? Not even a single automated apology. Literally a 'We've updated your delivery instructions' 🙄 I need to submit videos for this audition, cleared my day for nothing… so annoying.

So I am auditioning for a punk rock ska type of band and my 37” multiscale Ibanez 5er is overkill and too big dimensions for it. I’ve got a z7 mint on the way from Anderson’s I should receive tomorrow… hopefully the QC is spot on and comes just right! tempted to buy a couple more and return the worst two reading what I’ve read 😅 how was the returns process everyone? Ander.

Easy and serious seller - I bought a Mono Betty from him and came in great shape nicely packed and on time - completely recommend! Ander.

This is gorgeous and now I need more pictures of it.
