Have yet to play one but have owned two guitars that had a db Boost and loved them both, never felt they sucked tone.
This guitar have a real mechanic problem. Not a tone problem
How thinking it was impossible ? It's crazy

It looks like you have a bad pot.
Normally I would say take it back to the shop you purchased the guitar from, and let them with repairing a guitar that's still under warranty. However by buying from the US, you've circumvented the dealer network that is in place to deal with issues like this.
Your best bet is to contact customer service. Perhaps they can send you a replacement, or help you arrange a fix.

well, I spent the whole afternoon with one of the greatest french guitar tech ; now everything is fine with the guitar, exepted the boost knob that is out of order . Sorry if i have been a little angry, I'm a hudge Musicman fan, i only play Balls since the first one I bought in 1996. Forgive my frustration and deception getting a brand new instrument with so many issues.
I'm not used to have to deal with such problems for a guitar brand I like that much. Hope Customer's Service will be helpfull ...

Look, you have to accept that not every guitar is perfect. What EBMM (and every other manufacturer) do to remedy this is to provide a warranty and dealer network to fix these problems.
Any new EBMM guitar you buy will be covered by a warranty in the country you buy it and will get fixed for free. The problem is, you bought it in the USA. If you send it back to the USA, they would fix it for free. If you've bought it from the US to save money, then you have circumvented the international dealer network that would have taken care of you.
Try the customer service folks, and I hope you get everything sorted out!

I know about the rules beej ; I was offered this guitar , that's all .
Usually, I travel to the US to buy my "balls" ; I was just running outta time this year and, ..., it's a long story !
just a single question beej : do you know how much a L III is worth in France ? double price, worth a visit to US friends don't you think so ? . Over ...
Sorry I've never had to require any warranty service with EBMM guitars before this last one ; I 'm just a guitar player , faithfull, respectfull . All the best man

High tech Ne vends pas pour les guitares pas "francaise"
Super sympa de ta part bravo pour la solidarité
Yeah, quite possible. Mais j'ai pensé comme ils s'occupe des warrantys EBMM pour la France et peut être le piece est en stock...
...ça coûte rien de demander, hien?
Anyway, if he's contacted International customer service, I presume A.J. or his crew are on the case, et tout ira bien.
