Linus27 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi, At Xmas I bought a Squire Vintage Fretless bass which I must say is superb. Ideal for playing around with and to start out with learning the art of fretless. However, some of the fret filler that makes up the lines just crummbled and fell out yesterday leaving a hole. It does not affect the playing but it should not really do this after 4 weeks of owning it. I was going to take it back to the shop today (a well known music shop in Guildford) but I was wondering what I should expect then to do. Will they just send it away for repair or should I expect an exchange or something else. Just wondering what I should expect them to do. Thanks for any advice.
