Nowadays, I use nothing but ThinkPads and I get the software of my choice (without bloatware) from the factory. Tiger Direct always treated me decently. I hope your luck continues and you end up with two basses Notes I use to live near both of their retail stores. They closed those. I miss that.

Hidden Symmetry Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I used MF once years ago. They screwed up & sent a mixing board to my home in Ct. instead of Florida. It was left outside in the winter. Totally their fault they were not going to make good on it. I contacted the BBB & won the case. Chances are it will arrive in good shape otherwise have them send a replacement or get a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I live in reasonable distance of a Sam Ash and 2 Guitar Centers. We also have this. https://www.thebassplace.com/ I've only been in there once. If I wanted to spend a lot of money on a bass that would be the place to go.

Notes_Norton Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 All this reminds me. I miss the days when we had full-service mom & pop music stores in any mid-sized town and up. I remember going to Ace Music in Miami and trying out 3 Selmer Mark VI saxophones in a 'practice room' with a strobe tuner and picking the one that had the best intonation. I remember local music stores with Gibson, Epiphone, Fender, Gretsch, and other major brands hanging on the wall. Unfortunately, those days are gone. The last two saxophones and the last two guitars I bought, I didn't get to try out first. Plus, I had to wait for delivery. Some things are definitely better than they used to be, others are not. Insights, incites and a minor rant by Notes PS I hope your bass arrives in perfect shape and in the end you decide it was worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bapu Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 MF Says: "I find typically that means that something happened to the package in shipping and it was damaged or lost. I will submit an alert to our shipping claims team who will contact UPS to work that out and issue a refund if needed so that we can get another on order."

Heck, I miss the old way of buying a damn t-shirt. With no more clothing stores nearby anymore, I have to get stuff from Amazon. That's a crapshoot - you never know what you're actually gonna get.
