Better take it back for a refund before this thread reaches 20 pages and the warranty expires

I'm still happy with Smart Send

Blaine, are you thinking about a combo with a 15" speaker, or a standalone head like Mal O'Neill was building? And what sort of power - 30w like a B-15, or more (the O'Neill was 100w). I guess there are lots of permutations possible

The Nord distributors in Australia are Electric Factory Pty Ltd - they should be able to advise who might be able to service it?

Any recent experiences with any of you buying a bass with a rosewood board from overseas on eBay/Reverb etc - specifically from Japan. Used bass, rosewood board. Are the Japanese sellers across this requirement? If they don't attach a CITES certificate does the package get confiscated by Oz customs ...

good luck with the album launch Mark, I assume you played on it?

Not this one - the guy who wrote the songs is a freak who can do everything - the entire album is him apart from the drums

I have my first two gigs of the year coming up later this month

One is an album launch for one of the guys in Rolling Stoned, the other is a disco/funk/soul covers gig

I can't see the pics either, but can someone clarify for me - is this supposed to be a relic job? Just curious about the mentions of the finish cracks and bits falling off - if it's not supposed to be a relic then surely that's grounds enough for a refund?

Never mind - found some info on Google
