    So I guess this classes as a semi-hollow then? 😅

    If you've not had it long, return them to your supplier. Normally there's a manufacturer's warranty/guarantee for the store to act on.

    What actually happened to the body? 😂

    The GS Mini was forever going to be a disappointment as it's essentially a bass for Taylor fanboys. It's just a "cheap" travel bass with high ticket price and if that wasn't enough, ~£40 for the branded strings was a kick in the teeth! Hahaha A Guild Mini Jumbo would be something to try but nothing I'd set out to buy. IF I was after a shorty acoustic bass, I would sway more towards the uke basses and they're cheaper again and sound good for what they are. I know Bass Direct have Kala uke basses available but another to check out is Bass Centres Ashbory models. http://www.basscentre.com/all-about-that-bass.html Worth a look

    [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1502145167' post='3349643'] Someone was bound to come up with the answer [/quote] Badum tsh! Much prefer an unbound neck on these basses but each to their own.

    I'd be tempted to say look at the marketplace on here for a cheap squier or something alike. Bound to be better quality and similar price marks. For me, it just seems better to invest in the second hand market anyway and HB instruments tend to be "1 in 10" for something that [b]doesn't[/b] need some work done to it from the factory.

    [quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1502399877' post='3351261'] Ibanez are exceptionally good value at the moment. I bought a BTB Premium last week and there was nothing else new that compared to it in terms of price/quality/spec Lots of rosewood in my BTB, my understanding is that rosewood needs to be licenced but maybe some don't have the licenced stocks to draw on. [/quote] It depends if it's old stock, for the store, and whether they'll be importing any more or what strand of rosewood it is. As far as my knowledge goes, there's different varieties of Rosewood and similar woods like Pau Ferro which Fender have started using on the new mexican Noir models.

    I think there's also the consideration for CITIES protecting rosewood too, so the import/export of it has also been impacting the price of guitars. Mostly due to exchange rates.... we need to stop having elections in the UK XD
