Parts basses. I can feel the headache starting already.

Seriously, should it be a huge problem to see a part on a website, order it, and have the correct part get sent out? So first I ordered a bridge from all parts. All specs matched up, looked like the best bet. Until it arrived, being spaced way too big and not at all what was spec'd out on their website. Back it goes, then they say all their in stock bridges are mis-marked, and they won't get a correct one in for two months. F***!!! So while I'm waiting for that I bought a small part for my new project, a pickup surround for a P pup. Their picture on the website shows a reverse P, and in an email to confirm this they said the picture was 'taken backwards' and it really is a standard P. Ok, order up. Came in today, a nice shiney reverse P.:mad: I mean WTF, does anyone in any companies give a {censored} anymore about getting things right? This kind of stuff really wears on my patience, and wastes a LOT of my time which is worse. I swear you can't rely on or depend on anyone anymore, no matter what they say, which totally and completely sucks. :mad:

Couldn't you just flip the part?


:confused:

That does suck, though.

 

The back looks terrible, and the screw holes are beveled from the front only. I might have to, but I sure don't want to...

Yikes. Sounds like the one on my old Yamaha...

 

I'd send it back. Where did you get it from?

That sucks. I've got one parts bass with another one coming together in the next few months.

 

I know how you feel about wrong parts, it sucks. I've gotten used to having to "bodge" things so they fit.

 

Has the body already been routed for a regular P or could you do it reverse? If not I'd send them back the part!

Allparts. They're 0-2 right now, and they better come up with the right one this time since they TOLD me it was correct.:mad:

Yeah, the body is being routed at Warmoth already, and as minor as this thing sounds it is actually a pretty important thing for the overall finish of the bass.:(

No problemo
:)
just make sure you post pics when you put it together!
:thu:

 

Uno problemo. The part number they have IS the allparts number, so they are going to order that part from allparts, and allparts still has the wrong part. So I still need to hear from allparts. Thanks for the heads up though, I've never used bass parts resource yet...

You could email bass parts resource to ask?

 

Yeah its a pretty cool site, cheapest place I've found that sells the badass II. Plus the shipping is pretty reasonable.

Be careful though.. bass/guitar parts resource are {censored}in average.. If you order something and it arrives broken or they have sent the wrong part DO NOT expect any replies to your emails or any vague form of support. My last 3 orders with them were screwed, no replies.. I no longer use them.

I've ordered from them several times with no problems. Actually I just got an order last week from them.
