The bass is beautiful. However,
"The bass is beautiful. However, some major QC issues for a $2000 bass. 1. The fretboard appears to be slightly narrower than the neck…you can feel and see it…I can live with it. 2. The E string tuner is bent 3. The tuning machine bushings are not properly seated and are inserted at an angle on the D and G pegs. I haven’t removed to look into it and I’m hoping it’s a quick fix with a soft clamp. Last thing…purely nitpicking as I was able to set it up, but the checklist said action was playable. I couldn’t make out the measurement…However action was around 8/64s on the E at the 15th fret. This is my first Gibson and all in all, it’s a beautiful sounding and feeling instrument. I love the packaging, case candy etc. Just a little disappointed with the QC."
