njr911 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Mine is really nice, the set up needs a minor tweek as they all seam to have. a little less relief on the truss rod and action taking down a smidge, but it's perfectly playable as is.

Musashimonkey Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) HELP! It's just arrived, but no gig bag! Just bass on its own. Can I ask what should have come with it please; I know it should have a deluxe fender gig bag, but tools, papers etc thank you!

njr911 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Average gig bag, case candy is just a fistful of fender leaflets, nothing sexy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) See - GuitarGuitar need to be more on the ball with things like that. They did well with my order as it obviously came straight in from Fender, quick check by them, straight to me. They shouldn't be misplacing gig bags with brand new basses...and really shouldn't be sending it without it as inside my gig bag was a very thick layer of padding that Fender seem to add for shipping. I know it is a minor thing, but still. You should have a gig bag, handful of bass tags, and a small sealed bag with leaflets, one being about nitro finishes. Their Ghent store is new isn't it? Wonder why they've gone for that...not sure how Brexit will affect it. Edited July 13, 2016 by Musicman20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musashimonkey Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Thanks Musicman20, I agree that they shouldn't have dropped the ball on this. Thanks for the run down on what I'm missing. As you say, it is their new store, and that's why they said the error likely happened. It was well wrapped in bubble wrap, but don't quite understand why no gig bag!

Musashimonkey Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 So... Easiest way to adjust the truss rod please?... (Just access, I'm used to adjusting from either the head or with plenty of heel access) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I saw the video for the new bass on Facebook earlier. I really, really like his house, the bass looked like a Fender Jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 My son was born in 2016........does that count? Just kidding, I don't want a Flea bass.....looks lovely though! The spec could only be improved by binding (keep the dots), and lollipop tuners. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) One thing that does confuse me a little - if you look at Flea's bass, it doesn't have wear where this model does, and it has wear where this model doesn't....
