The box was intact, and very well padded inside. It’s obvious they shipped it to me in that condition. It was listed on GC as “Open Box” but there was no mention of any flaws.

Understood. Don’t revisit on my account, only if you think there is something there.

Yeah, IT should have been listed as “blemished”. When you go in to return it, you might bring this up and see if they will just give you $50 or $100 back, and if they do, maybe keep it the 45 days. Not trying to convince you on the Ray, just giving an option, same thing I would tell anybody with any bass that came that way.

The weird thing is, I spent 30 years as a writer and editor. Those things normally jump off the page at me. I’m losing my touch I guess lol

@T_dub that’s a thought. I think I’ll ask for $100 rebate, but only if they’ll keep the 45 day window open.

That would help, at least if you try for a while, if you don’t like it, you know and won’t have to revisit it later.
BTW, is there anything you DO NOT like about it? or is it just not doing it for you over the Yamaha?

The only thing was the round wounds, which I didn’t bother to switch to flats since I’m bringing it back. Other than that, I detected a bit of neck dive, but not enough to be a deal killer.

Neck Dive is something I never really consider. i play sitting down mostly because of the Knee condition I have that is not fixed yet. That is probably why it is not noticeable. I am gonna try to stand up later and see if i detect it in my Ray 4. Interesting that I have never thought of that before.

Just left GC. Flat out NO on the $100 rebate so I just returned it.

Wow, they wouldn’t take any responsibility for that. I like them less and less and less…

One of the reasons I fell in love with the Yammie BB235 is the great balance. Zero neck dive.
