Clarky Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) I just got a bass in a G&G hard case and both latches are broken. Annoyingly the missing elements (identical issue on each latch) are not in the shipping box so the seller obviously shipped the case knowing it to be broken. Unfortunately it came from the US so there's no chance of sending it back. Anyone know if this is a possible fix?

gary mac Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Not sure Clarky but anyways I'm more interested in what was inside the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franzbassist Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 That sucks. Looks like G&G sell [url="http://ggqualitycase.com/shop/parts/small-lock/"]replacements[/url] though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks gents - I feel a numpty as on close inspection the 'missing' bars are inside the lock (they must have sheared off in transit) I just got them out with tweezers and should be able to superglue them back in place. All is right Garymac, the case contained a Tony Franklin fretless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Glad you sorted it. Hope you enjoy the bass, they are a lovely looking instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a sneaky eye on that before you mentioned it and it vanished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
